- StartMenu.dll shows a custom page that lets the user select a start menu program
- folder to put shortcuts in.
-
- To show the dialog use the Select function. This function has one required parameter
- which is the program group default name, and some more optional switches:
- /autoadd - automatically adds the program name to the selected folder
- /noicon - doesn't show the icon in the top left corner
- /text [please select...] - sets the top text to something else than
- "Select the Start Menu folder in which..."
- /lastused [folder] - sets the edit box to a specific value folder.
- Use this to make this plug-in remember the last
- folder selected by the user
- /checknoshortcuts text - Shows a check box with the text "text". If
- the user checks this box, the return value
- will have > as its first character and you
- should not create the program group.
- /rtl - sets the direction of every control on the selection dialog
- to RTL. This means every text shown on the page will be
- justified to the right.
-
- The order of the switches doesn't matter but the required parameter must come after
- all of them. Every switch after the required parameter will be ignored and left
- on the stack.
-
- The function pushes "success", "cancel" or an error to the stack. If there was no
- error and the user didn't press on cancel it will push the selected folder name
- after "success". If the user checked the no shortcuts checkbox the result will be
- prefixed with '>'. The function does not push the full path but only the selected
- sub-folder. It's up to you to decide if to put it in the current user or all
- users start menu.
-
- To set properties of the controls on the page, such as colors and fonts use Init
- and Show instead of Select. Init will push the HWND of the page on the stack,
- or an error string. For example:
-
- StartMenu::Init "Test"
- Pop $0
- IntCmp $0 0 failed
- GetDlgItem $0 $0 1003
- SetCtlColors $0 "" FF0000
- StartMenu::Show
- # continue as with Select here
- failed:
-
- Look at Example.nsi for a full example (without Init and Select).
