Suggested Description
Windows magazine says, ToolPAL has "More Tools Than The Local Hardware
Store." ToolPAL 3.0 is a Windows utility for constructing Windows
toolbars. Buttons can do 20+ different actions, including helping your
Browser navigate the Internet. PC Mag states: "ToolPAL is the most
complete tool-palette builder available for Windows." You can use it
to create multitabbed, multibutton floating palettes that launch
applications or documents, send commands to your programs, monitor
system resources, and generally simplify a host of tasks.
ToolPAL features include:
Windows 95 support: ToolPAL includes long filename support and tight
integration with the Windows 95 shell. Drag and drop to or from the
Explorer, without leaving the Explorer.
Internet support: ToolPAL features built-in support for Microsoft
Interet Explorer link (.URL) files. Using drag and drop from the
Windows Explorer you can easily configure a ToolPAL button to link to
one or more Internet pages when it is used with Internet Explorer.
Execute any command in any Windows application.
You can also have any ToolPAL palette window behave as an applicationÆs
toolbar. When the application is iconized, the toolbar automatically
disappears. When you exit the application, the toolbar is
automatically closed.
Store and retrieve Clipboard objects. ToolPALÆs Clip & Save database
lets you easily store any type of standard Windows Clipboard object and
associate it with a button. You can also store multiple objects and
associate them with one button. When you click on the button, a menu
appears so you can select the object you want to paste into the Windows
application you are working with.
Store and retrieve text templates. Using ToolPAL text templates, you
can embed variable names in a text object before you save it. When you
click on a button to paste the text into an application, ToolPAL
prompts you for the replacement text for each variable. After you type
in the text and choose OK, ToolPAL pastes the text into the application
you are working with. For repetitive work, ToolPAL remembers the text
typed in for each variable. All you need to do is select the text from
a drop-down list. Text templates are useful for form letters,
worksheet templates, and programming templates.
Record and play back keyboard macros. Using ToolPAL, you can easily
record and play back keyboard macros that are focused on a single
application.
Send user-defined keystrokes to a Windows application.
Be a Windows Resource Monitor with resource alarms that provide Windows
crash protection. A ToolPAL resource monitor button is constantly
updated to let you know the state of your Windows system. To see more
detail or set resource snapshots to monitor the state of your system,
just click on the button.
Be a Windows Task Manager. ToolPAL offers a powerful Windows Task
Manager. The ToolPAL Task Manager is a graphical display that shows the
icon, window caption, window handle, and module handle for each active
Windows application. Using the Task Manager, you can lock (or release)
any window on top of your desktop. You can also move applications from
one virtual desktop to another. In addition, you can display detailed
information about every active Windows application and DLL. In
emergency situations, you can terminate and remove from memory any
Windows executable or DLL.
Switch to another ToolPAL palette. Besides using ToolPAL file folders,
you can also have a ToolPAL button switch to another ToolPAL palette.
Load another ToolPAL palette file. This lets you chain ToolPAL files
together for building large ToolPAL applications.
Display another ToolPAL palette. Any ToolPAL button can hold another
ToolPAL palette, which is called a child palette. Any button in a child
palette can hold another child palette. There is no limit on the
hierarchy of ToolPAL palettes. Child palettes can also be set up as
cascading menus so they disappear after you click on the button.
Switch to a Virtual Desktop. ToolPAL includes nine virtual desktops.
You can easily switch to any desktop using a ToolPAL button or the
ToolPAL menu.
Lock any window on top of all the other windows on the Windows desktop.
Display system information. ToolPAL can display, print, or save to an
ASCII text file Windows system information, including MS-DOS version,
Windows version, Windows mode, temp file directory, Windows directory,
CPU type, available memory, User Memory, GDI memory, total conventional
memory, total extended memory, swap file size, and available hard disk
space for each local and network drive.
Run Windows and DOS applications. When you click on a ToolPAL Run
button, a dialog is displayed that lets you type the name of the
application you want to run or browse through the files on your hard
disk to find an application to run. ToolPAL remembers all the
applications you have run previously, so you can easily restart an
application by choosing it from a drop-down list.
Exit or restart Windows.
