Explorer bar in Total Commander

Post by *dshetty »

I have a Shell extension, which I'm planning to integrate with Total Commander. I show an explorer bar using the context menu.

Does Total Commander support visibility of explorer band within it?

What is an explorer bar?
If you are adding something into regular Explorer context menu, it should work in TC. E.g. Imagine plugin even allows displaying image preview just in context menu.
But Explorer toolbars won't be accessible within TC.

The explorer bar in my case is a horizontal pane at the bottom of the explorer window. And I trigger it from the context menu.

I'm not sure what would happen in Total commander.

I guess that will not work in TC if you use Explorer API calls and features
but you can just try it and see what happens.

Is there anything which can achieve a similar effect in Total Commander?

TC has button bars, sub-bars as menus and linked bars.
As a TC user I don't use the Explorer so why should I want an Explorer bar ?
What do you want to achieve with your Explorer bar ?

By Explorer bar I mean a horizontal pane which would display some data at the bottom of the window.
Like for example the navigation pane but horizontal.

Is there anything equivalent in Total Commander that I could use to display similar data?

There are no standard TC interfaces allowing that.
