Release Notes of AppBar 4.10 Beta 2
AppBar 4.10
===========
New features:
1. Added support for commandline options "-inifile <inifile>". If this option
is specified, AppBar will load its settings from <inifile> instead op its
defualt appbar.ini file in the windows directory. Because AppBar can be
launched with this option from AppBar itself, AppMore has become obsolete,
and the development of AppMore has been stopped. AppBar will show
<inifile> on the StatusBar, if specified.
2. Extended dropfile functionality: Besides the old way, (AppBar starts an instance
of the button's program on which the files are dropped, for every dropped
file), AppBar now supports two new ways: starting the program once with
a list of dropped files as commandline parameters. This list can be space,
return, or comma delimited. The second new way, is by opening the dropped
file by DDE. This requires that the button's program is already running,
otherwise the program is started with the dropped file as commandline
parameter. Currently, the DDE option only supports one drop file at the
timme. DDE support is available for MS-Word, MS-Excel, MS-Access,
MS-FoxPro, MS-Project and CorelDRAW! (I could only test the functionality
on Word 6.0 and CorelDRAW! 3.0).
3. I read chapter 7 of Petzolds book.
4. Added support for Restricted (mode) option. If this option is enabled,
many buttons of the system button and the move feature are disabled. This
option was requested by some of my users to let unexperienced users use
AppBar.
5. Buttons with Text will display the description field instead of the
program name, which is still displayed on the StatusBar.
Fixed Bugs:
1. Fixed bug with SetStatusBarText() in AppBar_OnMove().
2. Made AppBar hWndOwner of OkMsgBox() and ErrorMsgBox().
3. Improved StayInFront functioning (thanks to Bernt Ribbum for noticing).
4. AppBar will close its helpfile, if active.
5. Fixed bug with overriding own MessageBoxes.
