OPENBAR, LOADSEARCH,... via windows message

Post by *m^2 »

TC accepts several commands with parameters. CD is well documented. But does anybody know how to send the other ones to TC?

You can not send them directly, you have to create a user-defined command and send that instead:

Thanks, but I saw this before and neither of these says that it's impossible to send them with windows message. Are you sure TC handles them in totally different way w/out possibility of calling it externally? ( regarding ahk style tricks with writing commands to the command liine and pressing enter ;) )
Actually I'd like to hear that it can't be done. :D
I'm writing new TCMC and this means less coding for me. ;)

Do you believe this funny guy? He claims to be the developer of TC:

:lol:
Is it a problem for experienced AHK programmer?
All he needs to do is ensuring that TC shows buttonbar, adding a temporary button, pressing, removing it and hiding the bar if needed ;P
Anyway it's not for me, I'm not willing to write such hacks but to support everything TC lets me to.

This topic also doesn't say if it's impossible to do directly.
I've read all topics on this forum that contain
SendMessage(|A|W)
PostMessage(|A|W)
or name of any command with parameters except cd.
I believe nobody published here such info before.
I tried to track down the message, but can't find it...maybe sb. better than me did it before. Maybe, as you suggest, there's no message at all (I believe it is so). Maybe there's something else that I can do (w/out code injection or AHK-like tricks)?
And there's at least one person on this forum who can give the definitive answer.
