The button does not work from the "Show as menu" toolbar

[sa16]

User command (usercmd.ini):

Code: Select all

[em_tc]
cmd=""%COMMANDER_EXE%" /O /S"
param=/L=%A1 /R=%A2

Button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
em_tc
"%T" "%P"
wcmicons.dll,37
Swap panels

The button properly swap panels when called from the toolbar.
When you access the button from the "Show as menu" toolbar, the button does not work.
Can this be changed?

Have you tried cm_Exchange or cm_ExchangeWithTabs instead?

[sa16]

It's just an example.
I know about the internal commands.

[ghisler(Author)]

The menu probably blocks the main program.

Parameters are not transferred to the button...

I can confirm that the button described by sa16 does not work when used in a button bar that is opened as a menu, whereas it works when the button bar is opened as a bar.

I tried simplifying the em_command to:

Code: Select all

[em_tc]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /O /S
param=%A

Which still works fine in a bar but not in a bar menu.

If I put a ? in font of the param %A - I can see that when the command is used in a bar the values of "%T" and "%P" are transferred to the %COMMANDER_EXE% command - but when I use it in a bar menu nothing is transferred - so there is a problem using the %A (%A1, %A2 etc) parameters with an em_command in a button bar menu.

Adding a question mark (for Dialog box) to the parameters field ( ?"%T" "%P" ) only works for the toolbar, not the menu.

Yes, for this particular button - but not for buttons in general in menus

Another example of a problematic button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_Select

Another example of a problematic button:

Confirmed, only one file is selected when this button is used in a button menu

It was as if everything had worked.
Thanks a lot!
