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,
etc. to:
