Here simple .bar file for virtual panel (drop it to your toolbar and set 'show as menu'):

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar]
Buttoncount=10
button1=WCMICONS.dll,65
cmd1=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\AskParam.exe
param1=/c"Add as link to virtual panel" /t"%%${}Path%%\"%N /p"Add "%N" as:" "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe" ^add "%%1" %P%N
path1=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\
iconic1=0
menu1=P>V  Add object to virtual panel...
button2=WCMICONS.dll,64
cmd2=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe
param2=^ifok "Remove %%${}Path%%\"%S1" from virtual panel?" { ^del /rd "%%${}Path%%\"%S1 }
iconic2=0
menu2=V>X  Remove virtual panel object
button3=
iconic3=0
button4=WCMICONS.dll,4
cmd4=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\AskParam.exe
param4=/c"Loading state file" /t%P%N /p"Enter state file path:" "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe" ^load "%%1"
iconic4=0
menu4=P>V  Load state file...
button5=WCMICONS.dll,76
cmd5=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe
param5=^ifok "Remove all contents of %%${}Path%%?" { ^del /rd "%%${}Path%%\*" }
iconic5=0
menu5=V>X  Clear current folder...
button6=WCMICONS.dll,51
cmd6=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\AskParam.exe
param6=/c"Loading state file into folder" /t%P%N /p"Enter state file path to add to %%${}Path%%:" "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe" ^load "%%1" "%%%%${}Path%%%%"
iconic6=0
menu6=P>V  Load state file contents to current folder...
button7=
iconic7=0
button8=WCMICONS.dll,50
cmd8=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\AskParam.exe
param8=/c"Export file paths list" /t%P"%O.m3u" /p"Path to list of MP3-files from %%${}Path%%:" "%%COMMANDER_PATH%%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe" ^export /a "%%1" "%%%%${}Path%%%%" *.mp3
menu8=P<V  Create M3U-list with MP3-files from current virtual folder...
button9=
iconic9=0
button10=WCMICONS.dll,34
cmd10=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Plugins\FileSystem\VirtualPanel\VPBatch.exe
param10=^prop
iconic10=0
menu10=Preferences

First letter in hint prefixes shows active panel when calling a button - P - usual panel should be active, V - virtual panel should be active, signs '<' and '>' show direction.

If you want to use it, just replace paths to AskParam and VPBatch with yours. If you have no AskParam yet, refer to my signature.

And, be sure your VirtualPanel is already loaded when you're using this bar - else %${}Path% is undefined and VPBatch will send scripts to nobody.

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.640
+ group answers for link creation question when user tries to move physical file to virtual folder
* open properties command in TC 7.55 was overridden by internal execute feature
* exception on move from physical folder to virtual
* overwrite read-only physical file error

[MVV]

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.670 (changes since 1.0.0.640):
+ new settings tab in configuration dialog (you may save settings using Set button or Enter key)

Look how just one dialog increased file size

I want to drop some files into virtual panel's shortcut icon as the program's parameter. But the virtualpanel will prompt me to add a new shortcut for this dropped file. So do you have any way to do my action?

Thanks

If I understood you correctly, you're trying to drag a file onto executable to start that executable with dropped file as parameter? TC doesn't allow this in both normal and virtual panels, you should use Ctrl+Shift+Enter on executable and parameter instead.
If you're trying to do something else please describe what you're trying to do with details.

, Your understood is right! Yes, TC doesn't allow this in normal, but it can accept the dropped file if I selected a zip or rar file, and TC will use it's interal tools to do compress. Can we simulate one exe file as a zip file to accept the dropped file? , thanks for you kindly response, and I very like the drap-drop feature.

TC allows to drag files only into folders and files that are "like folders" (archives). It is impossible to change this TC behaviour w/o changing its code. And, plugins have predefined passive interface that doesn't allow to command TC (only TC says to plugin what to do).

The only place where you can use d-n-d is buttonbar button - if you drag frequently used application there, you may drag files onto its button.

Also please read more about internal associations - you may assign any program for any file type so TC will open file in specified program on doubleclick (or Enter), also you may add internal context menu items so you can define more than one application for each file type.

Hm-m, maybe your drag-n-drop is possible if someone write packer plugin for EXE file type that will start EXE with dropped filename as parameter. But you will get pack dialog before.

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.690 (changes since 1.0.0.670):
+ configuration dialog uses Windows theme colors (calls EnableThemeDialogTexture function if available)
+ buttons OK, Cancel, Apply in configuration dialog
+ internal command <config to show settings tab of configuration dialog
* bug in save command when started w/o params and user answers No on save deflist question
* changed line order in information box of configuration dialog (localization line 8)

If you're using own localization file, you should fix language file or new VP will crash in configuration dialog.
