Highlighted text in Search box [#18515]

Hi,
I am using the Monkey Groove skin and you cannot see what text is highlighted in the Search box. Can the color of the highlight be changed so it is visible or maybe the background color of the search box changed to white so the blue highlight is visible?

Re: What is better about MM5 [#19614]

I find that MM5 loads considerably faster than MM4. Likely due to the number of Add-Ons that load on startup in MM4. Pros: - the look of the mini-player with the Monkey Grove skin - the layout of the options screen - when custom code fails, having the ability to restart in safe-mode is a god-send. -...

Re: Orphaned DeskPlayer.dll

Yep, LockHunter worked. It allowed explorer to release the file and restart itself. Fantastic...I'm off to the races.

Re: Orphaned DeskPlayer.dll

I downloaded an app called ProcessExplorer. It found the lock on explorer.exe. I didn't have windows explorer open, so I was pretty sure it was the OS explorer. Sure enough, when I ended the process, my screen went blank. All I could see was my mouse. I did a three finger salute and had to shut down...

Orphaned DeskPlayer.dll

I uninstalled MM5 and DeskPlayer.dll has been left behind. When I attempt to manually delete the file I am informed that the file is open in windows explorer and must be closed first. I have no other windows opened and when I check all of the processes in Task Manager, I don't see anything related t...

List of fields in the songs table

Hi, I am working on a search and replace add-on. I have a dropdown that I would like to populate with a listing of the fields that can be searched and have values replaced. While I could hard-code them, I don't believe that is the proper solution. I found the following code that obtains the list of ...

Re: Opening MS Word

It's unfortunate that MM5 doesn't support ActiveX Objects. It is going to make replicating the MS Word functionality rather difficult. Especially for an old VB programmer like myself.

Opening MS Word

As part of my transition to MM5, I need to migrate some tools that I use to manage my collection. One such tool is a spellcheck that I developed. The good news in the code below is that it doesn't crash. The bad news is that it doesn't open Word. Any suggestions? // A simple script that checks the s...

Re: Setting Field Value to null

Okay, I can set all of the fields except for comment and lyrics. I suspect because they are long text boxes so using the standard " = " doesn't work.

e.g. lstItem.commentShort = "abcd"; fails.

Any suggestions?
