How to create a subbar?

[yaramayawho]

Yes I know I'm an idion and I don't know how to create a subbar? Can you help me?

Ok I figured it out. But how to switch between bars? Is there any shorcut?

OK I know how to switch between bars also. Sorry but using this program is a hardcore for me especially that there isn't any useful documentations for example quote from manual:

Total Commander toolbar has a very good feature that lets you switch between bars so you can have multiple toolbars, for instance you can assign the most often used commands for the main bar and assign the less used commands to a subbar and assign folders link commands for another subbar and so on.

This tells me nothing about creating subbars and switch between them.

Better would be you tell us how it works as you know it now.

Try Button Bar Editor to easily edit main bar and all sub-bars simultaneously.

I switch my bars by button click.

All my five bars have five icons/buttons, labelled from [1] to [5]
each of this five buttons opens a corresponding bar.
I think I have the basic idea from a plugin 'nested bars' or like this.
That way I can hop from each bar to each other by just a mouse click.

Example:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu01.BAR

%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu01.ico
Switch to default bar 1

0
-1

------

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu02.BAR

%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu02a.ico
Menu Bar 2 - Special tools

0
-1

------

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu03.bar

%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu03.ico
Menu Bar 3 - VBScripts


-1

the 'a' in the icon name indicates that this is the entry for this loaded bar itself, the currently 'used' bar.

------

The *.bar files are just plain text files, like this excerpt:
from %Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu02.BAR

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar]
Buttoncount=38
button1=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu01.ico
cmd1=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu01.bar
iconic1=0
button2=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu02a.ico
cmd2=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu02.bar
iconic2=0
menu2=Menu Bar 2 - Special tools
button3=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu03.ico
cmd3=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu03.bar
iconic3=0
menu3=Menu Bar 3 - VBScripts
button4=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu04.ico
cmd4=%Commander_Path%\plugins\BARs\Menu04.bar
