- Launch! Easy Graphic Menu builder
-
- © 1991 Arnie Cachelin, HyperActive InterMedia
-
- Launch gives you push button access for up to 9 of your favorite
- applications. Just enter the command and the button title in the
- Launch icon's tooltypes array, then run it. Launch works only under
- Workbench 2.x.
-
- Setting The Commands
-
- To set the program icon's tooltypes, click on the icon, then
- select 'Information' in the Workbench/Icons menu. When the info
- window comes up, click on the tooltype entry in the list to edit that
- entry, or select 'New' to add an entry. When the entry is complete,
- hit return to place it in the list, and click the save button to exit.
- The first two tooltypes entries should have the number of buttons
- (e.g. NUMBER=4) and the length in characters of the text labels for
- the buttons (e.g. LENGTH=12). The next entries should alternate
- between text labels (e.g. ShowPic) and commands (e.g. dh1:Art/Show).
- Command entries should appear as they would be typed in a CLI window,
- with the full path of the command specified. Launch makes no
- provision for a command's output; if you wish to see the program
- output you must explicitly provide an output path. This may be done
- by redirecting the output of the command to a con: window (e.g.
- 'C:Type >con:10\10\500\200\Title'.) This window snaps shut
- immediately after the command finishes.

- C Programmers
-
- Source code for Launch is included. I really like this little
- program, and am glad WB 2.0 makes it so EZ to do. I also feel kinda
- object-oriented when I can encapsulate all the program's configuration
- data in its icon. I hope you find this useful and interesting.
-
- Launch is freely distributable shareware, please send whatever
- contribution you consider appropriate. Feel free to use the source
- code in your own creations, but please give credit where it is due.

- Please send suggestions, bug reports, revisions, jobs, candygrams,
