Is it possible to easily add links 2 the dropdown buttonbar?

Post by *lukoie »

Well, i use the dropdown list of the button bar function heavily, but currently adding an extra icon in this dropdown list is a nightmare.
Is it possible to add drag'n'drop to the dropdown bars as it work for the regular bars?

You can't drag buttons to drop-down bar, you have to switch to it first by clicking it with Shift key. Then you need to return to your main button bar by clicking Up button (if you have it in your child bars) or by switching button bar off and on with cm_VisButtonbar command.

I have Return to Main Button Bar item in my Configuration menu that calls em_ResetToolbar command for turning buttonbar off/on using TCFS2:

Code: Select all

[em_ResetToolbar]
button=WCMICONS.dll,15
cmd=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe
param=/ei locktc(1) tb0 tb1 locktc(0) update

While I was "building" my dropdown bars, i would use the Shift-click to access the bar for drag and drop / edit like suggested by MVV. And I used an entry in Menu->Start with the OPENBAR xxxx.bar command to return to the main bar.

BTW there is a way to return to main TC bar w/o TCFS2 (w/o checking if buttonbar is visible): cm_VisButtonbar,cm_VisButtonbar. It may be added to directory hotlist, to Start menu as silencer did, or it may be added into any menu via EM-command.

Button Bar Editor enables to edit main bar and all sub-bars in one place with ability to drag-n-drop from inside or outside the program.

Doesn't the OPENBAR %COMMANDER_PATH%\Default.bar command do the same?

Not the same, OPENBAR returns to a specific .bar while MVV's solution returns to the configured bar.

Shift switches behaviour from both drop-down menu and open bar to the other one.
