Nope, opentabs doesn't have own number.
It's probably more like CD...
I found something like this...

Code: Select all

sendWM_COPYDATA('C'|('D'<<8),strcat(strcat(strcpy(t= malloc(strlen(argv[i+1])+strlen(argv[i+2])+2),argv[i+1]),"\r"),argv[i+2]),CharUpper(argv[i]+2));

Ok, it's not that hard, forget the line above
You send TC WM_COPYDATA.
COPYDATASTRUCT fields meaning:
lpData - string, a path to the directory
dwData - constant number, 'C'|( 'D'<<8 )...this is the critical thing. opentabs has more than 4 characters, so it won't fit in DWORD. Christian?

I've found a workaround, it isn't perfect but it works.

Code: Select all

[User]
menu1=Load tabs 
cmd1=opentabs
param1=C:\TOTALCMD\Tabs.tab

Now we can use it in any Ahk script.

Code: Select all

PostMessage 1075, 701, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD

With the existence of em_xyz commands i thought that i'll never need user defined menus again .

param1 doesn't work if %Commander_Path% is used.

Nah, they are useful. They let you assign icons in the menu to your user commands. (hint by fenixproductions)

Confirmed, you are right, even with double %.

In meanwhile, perhaps you could use:

Code: Select all

[User]
menu1=Load tabs
cmd1=OpenTabs %COMMANDER_PATH%\Tabs.tab
param1=<empty>

What you write is correct. The lpData value contains the first path, a line break, then the second path (or empty), terminated by a 0 character. After that, there can be optional parameters:
T means open in new tab
S means that the first parameter is passed to the source side and the second to the target instead of left and right.

Yes, but how about opentabs, loadbar etc?

Sorry, currently these cannot be used from the outside except for the described em_xyz command method.

Thank you for the answer. Let me suggest it as a future upgrade.

The only way to have %commander_path% interpreted with opentab is to use a user command :

Code: Select all

[em_Lbar]
button=
cmd=OPENBAR
param=%A

the %A is mandatory !

It works fine from command line and from CopyData message But %P\%N as parameter only works from button...

For info this is a command i use in powerpro, it could be easily modified for ahk.
changBar.powerpro barname

Code: Select all

args barname
local bbThing = binary.from_ascii(?"em_lbar %commander_path%\bars"++barname++".bar")
local TC_CD = 0x4443
local TC_EM = 0x4D45
local TC_CM = 0x4D43
local TCHandle = win.handle("c=TTOTAL_CMD")
bbThing.sendcopydata( TCHandle,TC_EM))

I've asked the 1th of Dec. 20061201 for command consistency but no response at all !
