[Change button bar] Behaviour improvements

[Stiltzkin]

problem 1:

• buttonbar commands and parameters are really difficult to edit when it's a long string. you can't resize the edit window or textfield.

suggestion:

• make the whole "change button bar/ TBUTTONCHANGEDLG" box resizable? open a small window where you can do proper edits for the command/param field?

problem 2:

• parameters and the use of "?" in it.
  if you put the "?" before other parameters they will appear in the popup dialog/TSTDTREEDLG.

suggestion:

• instead of inserting "? maybe check a box? so you can combine parameters and a dialog (without getting the whole parameters string in the dialog text field)

With "EmEditor (Text Editor)" there is the function "GRAB TEXT", which can solve this problem.
Here is a video - approx. 5 minutes.

EmEditor Shortcut:
Tools > Customize... > Customize Tray Icon... > Shortcut Key to Grab Text with EmEditor: Ctrl-ALT-B <pressing AltGr-B is also possible>

For button edit use the Ultra TC Editors, makes it much easier.

I wouldn't say much easier (e.g. if the command line is very long and tooltip > 100 characters), but in principle a good choice.

You can use the editor in full screen which allows to see almost any long line you will ever enter.
Full screen on my high res screens is more than 260 characters on any button creation field, enough for me

Well, I didn't expect you to use such a big monitor
Mine is only 24" big with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels and even has a scaling size of 125%.

I only now notice that e.g. the tooltip is not only editable in the designated field at the bottom (approx. 100 characters visible)
but also if you double-click on the line above the button bar. In this case approx. 260 characters are visible/editable.
