Extended Menus for TC 7.04a

[Matthias030]

Hi Petermad. Thanks much for your extended menus!

Your new Menu "Windows XP" is helpful. In file "wcmd_ext1_eng.ini" there are defined icons to show in the menu. Here is an example:

[em_keyboard]
cmd=control.exe keyboard
menu=Keyboard Properties
button=main.cpl,7

I think the parameter "button" define the icon to show in the menu. Am I right? But there is no icon shown.

Only standard icons from Wcmicons.dll are shown for me.

The button=main.cpl,7 refers to an icon alright, but it only works when you use the em_command in the button bar.

Userdefined icons pr. application is not (yet) supported for the menu - here only icons from wcmicons.dll or wciconex.dll are supported - if the commands are mapped to an internal command in either wcmicons.inc or wciconex.inc.

Yes, this is because the loading of icons from various dlls and exes would be slowed down a lot by background virus scanners...

I just sorted it, added hotkeys and renamed Windows Task Manager to Task Manager. Sorry, I don't remember if I didn't removed something.

The hotkeys aren't good but there just are too much things.
Mind 2 rules: For each letter, the first position starting with it (if there's any) will get it. Otherwise - one that has a word starting with it (not necessarilly the first one).
I think it's the most natural system.
There's probably no better match that follows this.

Sorry for long post, I didn't want to move it somewhere.

ADDED: Hmm..I posted it before testing. It has some problems with POPUP "Administrati&ve Tools". Can anybody tell me what's wrong?

There is missing an END_POPUP before:

POPUP "Control Pa&nel"


POPUP "&System Tools" abcdehimnopqrsytuvw
should be:
POPUP "&System Tools"

Argh! That's it. I spent much time looking below
Thanks!

POPUP "&System Tools" abcdehimnopqrsytuvw
should be:
POPUP "&System Tools"

Temporary information
Removed alredy.

I just sorted it

So did I - I just don't like alphabetical sorting - I sort in the sequence that makes sense to me - mostly according to importance (to me). That's also why I stick to FAT32 on most of my HD's - that way I can sort folders and files manually. My Windows Start Menu isn't sorted alphabetically either. Neither is the content of my clothing cabinets and drawers

But of course others might like alphabetical sorting better - so thank you for your initiative

renamed Windows Task Manager to Task Manager

I have tried consistantly to use the name shown in the title bar of each application - and in my English Windows XP SP2 Home it shows "Windows Task Manager" - that's why I used that in the menu.

Yep, it makes sense. I didn't new there's "Windows" in the title

Server protection most probably.

Nope. I was refering to a problem with this menu - I got "unexpected END_POPUP" error message, the END_POPUP after "Administrati&ve Tools". As petermad wrote, it was a lack of END_POPUP before "Control Pa&nel".
Thanks anyway

[tosbsas]

could you post the changed version as a file?

Hi!

In wcmd_ext1_eng.lng and wcmd_ext2_eng.lng you use:

Code: Select all

6613="Search &for:"
6614="Replace &with:"

Those strings don't have accelerators in the internal TC language file and don't work anyway, even with assigned accelerators.

Also, the string

Code: Select all

6605="[C]  &Counter"

seems to define both the Name Counter and the Ext Counter in MRT. However with the internal english language only the first button has accelerator.


On a second thought this whole post should go to the bug reports section.
But first please confirm, maybe I'm missing something.

All of those 3 hotkeys are in the "official" wcmd_eng.lng - available at: https://plugins.ghisler.com/lang700/wcmd_eng.zip - so that's where I got them from.

I will remove the hotkeys from MY English .lng files.

And yes this should release a bug report concerning the wcmd_eng.lng file found in https://plugins.ghisler.com/lang700/wcmd_eng.zip.
