Wrong thread, JP... This one is about TxQuickView, not RCC.
No price available yet!

About the shortcuts problem: Total Commander does indeed subclass the window handle which is returned by the plugin when the plugin window is created. But if this window has children, the hotkeys may go to these children and TC/Lister will not see them. Solution: Your plugin needs to forward the hotkey messages to your main plugin window, using PostMessage.

Much better!

A couple of other strokes that I would like your plugin to process - how about something like "F" for fit-to-window? Could it toggle between fit and full, or fit and whatever the zoom size was set previously?

Also, there seems to be no way to use the arrow keys or PgUp/PgDn to scroll through the documents/images. Can this be added?

This would be for those of us who don't like to touch our mice any more than we have to.

And I just tried to disable the pdf viewer, so that Florian Heidenreich's viewer would catch the file first. I "deleted" the pdf extension in the settings dialog box. But even after quitting then restarting Total Commander, TxQuickView would still catch the pdf file first. Do I have to reboot to make this stick?

I also just tried viewing a gif and a html file. It seems as though once one of those type of files is read (possibly any file where you enlist the "help" of IExplorer), the ability to use the pass-through keys is lost, and "esc" will not close the window.

Thanks.

"Fit to Window" is now supported, PgUp/PgDn works for me.

And I just tried to disable the pdf viewer, so that Florian Heidenreich's viewer would catch the file first. I "deleted" the pdf extension in the settings dialog box. But even after quitting then restarting Total Commander, TxQuickView would still catch the pdf file first. Do I have to reboot to make this stick?

TxQuickView displays all files. The settings dialog box only assigns the extensions to the different viewers. You should move the other PDF viewer in the lister plugin dialog before TxQuickView, so that it can catch the file first.

It seems as though once one of those type of files is read (possibly any file where you enlist the "help" of IExplorer), the ability to use the pass-through keys is lost, and "esc" will not close the window.

TC does not support the MFC message handling, so I will try to find another solution.

Hello Sven,

Very good program, thanks. Even if it was not for TotalCmd.
Especially if it has veiwer of Delphi forms (is it another resource editor?)

And it supports so many formats - is it a plugin for TC or a standalone multimedia viewer?

Regards,

[Sven]

Thanks for your kind words.

The viewer is a part of another file manager. A TC user asked me for making a TC plugin. The viewer for Delphi forms is self-made. I didn't have seen any tool which can display forms outside of Delphi.

The viewer for Delphi forms is self-made. I didn't have seen any tool which can display forms outside of Delphi.

But I saw this tool, don't remember its title... some resource editor, which can show RCData resources in *.exe as forms.
Hmm, can TxQuickView display forms from resources (like that editor)?
Can it show non-standard compenents on forms?

Regards,

[Sven]

Hmm, can TxQuickView display forms from resources (like that editor)?

Yes, TxQuickView also shows a list of used components (PACKAGEINFO).

Can it show non-standard compenents on forms?

You can customize the DFM view by editing the TxQuickView.ini. There is a list of standard classes, simply add your customized classes separated by a semicolon.

Sample:
TButton=TMyButton;TMyButton2
TCheckBox=TRXCheckBox
TRadioButton=TCoolRadioButton;TXPRadioButton

If TxQuickView finds a TXPRadioButton it will show a TRadioButton instead.

2Sven:
- DFM viewer doesn't show TPanels on forms
- Viewer of PACKAGEINFO structure is good!
I didn't see resource viewer with this feature.
But can you sort list of units in it?

- Viewer of manifest is Hex viewer.
Maybe better - to show it as text?

Could anybody advice how to configure this plugin/app TxQuickView? There are some setting in file TxQuickView.ini and in the system Registry, but I could not find anywere any explanations for meaning of those settings
And in app's forum everything in German, which I don't understand

BTW I have big troubles with searching in the plugin's window.
The only option to call search dialog in any type of document (HTML, TXT etc.) is context menu command via RMT - and this works only by pressing the button "Find Next", but not by pressing key "Enter". Yes, F7 calls search dialog too, but this does not really do nothing. Is this a bug of the app or something is wrong in my settings?
Thanks!
