My Vitalize app wont load (Gadget)

**LaraSoft** · 12th January 2008, 02:36 PM

Hello. I'm busy playing around with the embedding of Vitalize to a vista gadget. I've got a working 'framework' as the gadget appears in the gadget list, with all the variables like the name showing up. When you run it, it loads into the right hand side with the background I chose and so forth.

I then embedded a Vitalize app but it wont appear. Here is the simple source code for the time being (I plan to expand this, using dedicated css etc. but it was easier to post like this

Code:

<html>
	<head>
		<title>LarAlive</title>
		<style>
			body {
				width:130;
				height:90;
				color: black;
				background: url('bg.png');
			}
			
			#content {
				font-family: Segoe UI;
				font-size: 12pt;
				text-align: center;
			}
			
			#host {
				font-size: 10px;
			}
		</style>

	</head>
	<body link="#ffffff" alink="#ffffff" vlink="#ffffff">
		
<OBJECT ID="LarAliveApp" WIDTH=130 HEIGHT=90 type="application/x-cnc"
CLASSID="CLSID:EB6D7E70-AAA9-40D9-BA05-F214089F2275"
CODEBASE="http://www.clickteam.com/vitalize4/vitalize.cab#Version=4,0,248,1">
<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE=System.Gadget.path +"\LarAlive.ccn">
<EMBED TYPE="application/x-cnc"
SRC=System.Gadget.path +"\LarAlive.ccn"
checkversion="4,0,248,1"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.clickteam.com/vitalize4/download.html"
WIDTH=320
HEIGHT=200>
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>

	</body>
</html>

As you can see, I use the System.Gadget.Path like Yves suggested here

I get the Vitalize logo to appear, but then absolutely nothing shows up. If, however, I remove the System.Gadget.Path from the location and run it in my browser, the app runs.

Here's what the sidebar looks like when I run my gadget:

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

The URL parameter doesn't work in the OBJECT command for Vitalize! applications in Vista gadgets, you have to set the URL out of the OBJECT command via a Javascript command.

The EMBED command doesn't work either, as it's for Firefox.

Just copy the OBJECT command I've given as example and replace example.ccn by LarAlive.ccn, that should work.

<OBJECT ID="Vitalize1" WIDTH=130 HEIGHT=90
CLASSID="CLSID:EB6D7E70-AAA9-40D9-BA05-F214089F2275">
<PARAM NAME="BackColor" VALUE="0,255,0">
</OBJECT>
<script>
Vitalize1.URL = System.Gadget.path +"\LarAlive.ccn";
</script>

Is that right Yves? Sadly, it didn't work either. Instead it appeared the same, except the vitalize applet was all green; logo and everything. (Theres no extensions loaded in the vitalize applet yet)

This is a stupid question but I'm running build 247 of MMF2 Dev. Do I need 248?

What happens now? Our existing forums have been reopened!
