Rizluak, your tray menu example

[qwerty]

thanks guys, some really good menu related info here, a veritable goldmine of info.

i am interested in that protection you guys were talking of where even the temp files are protected, is there some more info on that somewhere ?

[RizlaUK]

Yeah, i must say i was impressed when i saw how fast the actions were performed, i even throttled my system to simulate a slower machine and it was still pretty fast, what ever way i went about it i could not get the information (wich is exactly what i wanted), im just cleaning up a few bits on my latest project, ill be posting it very soon

It's a lot of work/code to hide those files. Open closing db's, decrypting-reading files-deleting files.
AMS handles it well as I haven't seen it slow down, yet.

[RizlaUK]

I keep a shortcut to the user's temp folder in my taskbar to watch my cypto and zip actions

lol, i was at it last night trying to "catch the file" but your method works a dream, all i could retrive was a blank txt file, app sucure, job done

as for more features, just the folder thing, i think you pretty much coverd everything else


i think Acme-Tek's is going to see some pennys from me next week, as so is dermot, it seems the expance of ams is endless

[Roboblue]

I'll look at that. I keep a shortcut to the user's temp folder in my taskbar to watch my cypto and zip actions.
Anything else? I think it can stand a few more features.
I have Acme-Tek's System animations and the Windows Construction Kit, too.
Gotta be prepared

[RizlaUK]

cool, ill link to your site then

yeah iv seen the toolbar button selection, i also like the system animations thay have there, i must get them soon

if you are updateing Dude, may i add that support for shortcuts to folders would be very handy to

[Roboblue]

Here is just ONE page of stuff
there's 23
all with four states.
the buttons are categorized into groups like
files
documents
drives
optical
system
database
etc.
Very nice

[Roboblue]

Sure, you can link it. Just use my site link (see below), as it's not correct on Softpedia.
It's no longer freeware. I am going to have Softpedia update that this weekend.
Glad you like it, I use it a lot, also.
I am going to add Category support to keep the popup menu sizes down and some other things.
I'll let you know when I do.
Another fine product created with AMS 6.0!
The buttons and stuff were from the REAL nice collection that's in the ToolBars Galore set offered by Acme-Tek.
You can see it here
it has hundreds of interactive buttons that look like the old Windows stuff.

[RizlaUK]

Yeah m8, working like a charm, i got all sorts stored in there, it almost replaces the start menu, i hardly touched the start button today,

i was going to ask if you mind me linking to it (softpedia or your site ??) in my partners section,

I havent noticed the popup thing you mentioned so all is good m8, Thanks Again :yes

[Roboblue]

Rizluak
Just checking to see how Dude! is working for you.

[RizlaUK]

Yup, that got it, Cheers Robo :yes

this app is coming along nicely now

for anyone else thats useing this code:

in the "PopupMenu()" function

change this
nTrayMenu = Application.ShowPopupMenu(X, Y, tblMenu, TPM_RIGHTALIGN, TPM_BOTTOMALIGN, true, false);

to this
SMouse = System.GetMousePosition(true);
nTrayMenu = Application.ShowPopupMenu(SMouse.X, SMouse.Y, tblMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN, TPM_TOPALIGN, true, true);

and the menu will appers where the mouse is like a proper right context click menu

no need for the dll ^^, just 3 lines of code will do it, although worm's dll is very usefull

edit:, in fact worms dll with the hit test example will work great with this if you are useing input objects because when you right click in the input you get the menu rather than the starndard (cut, copy, paste) menu, use the dll and hit test to disable the right click menu when over a input object

[jfxwave]

With the help of worms mouse dll we can right click and the menu will show up next to the mouse.

Like this how they have it in true launch bar.

[RizlaUK]

wow, that tidyed my menus up a bit, great tip :yes

yeah, customizable borders would be cool, and background images (think im asking to much there, lol)

Little icons for each app in the menu would be nice .

yeah, i agree, that would be awesome
