Internal command for confirmation dialogue?

[Helix751]

Hi. I need a confirmation dialogue before launching a (dangerous) command with a button, to avoid running it unwantedly.

Something like a standard Windows [Ok] [Cancel] dialogue.

I thought I could find some in the internal commands list but there's nothing for this.

Is there a way to get this done?

Put a ? in the start of the Parameters field of the button - then you will get a dialog, that you can cancel.

Example: nircmd.exe qboxcom "Are you sure you want to continue?" " Total Commander" win sendmsg foreground 1075 3302
Instead of the question and the command index (3302), specify your data.

This seems to be a nice alternative. I was aware of the '?' parameter dialogue but this is a clever use for it.

Thanks for this, too. Is the command index a TCmd internal command code? If so, do I have to define a User command with the command I want to lauch upon accepting the dialogue?

Yep.

If you need a custom command, then you will have to configure a command for Start menu that will have its own index.

For internal commands like 3302 see the text file named TOTALCMD.INC

If you want to create an own command, you would have to create a UserDefinedCommand in usercmd.ini
But to send a UDC from extern to TC you must utilize another send method which nircmd , afaik, do not support. (with AHK it is possible)
..sorry, long time not done..

Alas That's why the idea "to configure a command for Start menu" as that commands have internal command numbers too,
for that again see TOTALCMD.INC >>> cm_UserMenu1=701;Start first menu item in Start menu , here you would use 701 instead of 3302.

It's easier to look through cm_CommandBrowser.

Why alas?

Sorry , wrong assuming on my side, I thought that word has a different meaning.
