Request: Specify where buttonbar wraps

I'm thinking about implementing something like TCmenu internally for those with really many buttons,

Yeah!

Use scrolling? Or have multiple columns?

Such giant menus are always a disaster (all I say is content plug-in selection menu )
I would say multiple columns is the better choice and if even this doesn't help use scrolling. As those menus are user-created the user has to care take tha they don't become unusable large.

... Use scrolling? Or have multiple columns?

Thank you for thinking about this implementing!

* Scrolling? Like with very long MNU-menus as it is right now? - No, thx
* Multiple columns? Like with Windows > Start > Programs? - Yes, please.

And with sub-menu please, if it is possible to implement.


Thank you.

Only
If it would be possible for you to implement
it would be nice to have the possibility
to browse folders from this new menu.

I would like to add f.ex.
cmd= browse %Commander_Path%\..\..\Tools\SysInternals
to get an menu item to browse the SysInternals folder with all sub-folders
to execute this or that exe, txt, lnk, ... .

So i didn't have to add all tools to an menu by hand
but just browse the folder to launch an app.

Right now i open an new tab to choose the tool...

or i would use "menuApp" from "DesktopApps"
like in this example:

HELLELUJA!

On thing I allways missed in TCMenu is when you right-click on a button you can change to the appdir pls consider to make that possible for the dropdown too and tc will be unbeatable

Support.
It seems that the (normal) "Start menu" of Windows XP always uses multiple columns without scrolling while the "Classic Start menu" uses a single column with scrolling in the main menu and multiple columns without scrolling in the submenus.
Setting the lowest screen resolution I could manage for example that the 3rd column of the "Programs" submenu was clipped.
Multiple columns with horizontal scrolling is probably the best solution but the scrolling is needed rarely. Is it worth the effort?

Currently lines which become too long still wrap. Since the number of lines is now unlimited, this doesn't matter, you just get more lines.

I'm thinking about implementing something like TCmenu internally for those with really many buttons, but I'm not yet sure what to do when there are too many buttons. Use scrolling? Or have multiple columns?

TC Menu is fine and Nested bar are great, the menu should reflect this hierarchy.
As TCMenu is more or less a menu and that we do not discuss about a menu button in any position on the bar.
Why not having a auto-menu label on the menu bar that reflect the full current bar as described with multi column + scrolling . (As i know some people that have a full 1024x768 screen with windows startup menu and need scroll to have more...... I'm pretty sure the same have giant enormous button bar on TC)

Support++ !

WOW! At long last!

Or have multiple columns?

AFAIK, most of TCmenu users prefer multiple column.

As an update, my internal implementation now uses multiple columns (using menu breaks) each time the current screen height is reached, or when the user has put a manual break in there. I'm using a standard popup menu for now. A right click on a menu entry will close the menu and open a new popup menu with the right click options.

Can it be used as a drag target?

Do you build menus from regular .bar files or you change .bar file format?
If you use regular .bar files may be I have to declare TCMenu as "officially dead"?

...each time the current screen height is reached,

I recommend option for user to set max menu items number in the column.
