Button icon tooltip & directory hot list

Post by *nuclear0508 »

Hi Mr. Ghisler!

+ Currently, the buttonbar tooltip will show immediately as we place the mouse over it. I think we should use XP's tooltip common control for this. It lets we have some delay & makes it looks more professional with fade in, fade out features & later Windows version's too.

+ I usually use the directory hot list, but one issue that I need to tell you:

It's the menu accelerator duplication that you have & I have too. I think we won't use that 2 menu frequently, so let the 2 characters free for others.

Thanks for reading :roll:

:) Hello !

1. <Wincmd.ini> –>
[Configuration]
ToolTipDelay=500
Delay in milliseconds until descriptions for the buttons in the button bar are shown (default = 500)
2. This has been discussed already… Workaround :
Use the standalone English LNG¦MNU files, and remove that you want.

Ad.1.
You can set your own tooltip delay time.
Just open your wincmd.ini file and find [Configuration] section.
Write there:

Code: Select all

ToolTipDelay=XXX
where:
XXX - delay in milliseconds, until descriptions for the buttons in the button bar are shown (default = 500).

Ad.2.
You are right.
Whole menu should behave in the same way. If some letter is underlined proper action should be taken but it doesn't work if mentioned options have no letter chosen (by deleting "&" chars from language file).

Edited: Clo! You've hacked my keyboard!

+ I set the ToolTipDelay=2000 in my ini file, but it still appears immediately.
I edit & restart TC already.
I still prefer the fade in/out features of Windows Explorer style :wink:

+ I don't have the English version of .inc .lng, just the .mnu of the defaut setup :cry:

Can you give it a try?

Strange, it appears that changing this value does nothing here also.

The link for English language file was somewhere in this forum but because it was quicker to take one from my drive:
http://fenixproductions.republika.pl/tmp/WCMD_ENG.ZIP

You'll have needed menu changed but remember that C will launch Configure window as long as you have no other items with this char underlined.

PS. I thought that removing "&" from lang is not working because it loaded Configure window. Now I know that this behaviour changes after specifying other item with "C". Sorry for misleading.
