PD/!Toolbar/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

                     Handy file and application launcher

                          by David Thomas, � 1996
                         version 1.03 (08 Nov 1996)

 Introduction ______________________________________________________________

  Toolbar provides a pull-down bar which is used to launch applications,
files and open directories.  It can be configured to reside on either on the
top left- or right-hand side of the screen and stores the names of up to 32
objects.


 Usage _____________________________________________________________________

  Load Toolbar by double-clicking on it's icon in a filer window.  It will
load and display it's title bar on the top left-hand side of the screen.

  The toolbar is initially empty, so you will not be able to drag it down
onto the screen.  To add an application, directory or file (henceforth, an
'object') to the toolbar drag it onto the title bar that's visible in the top
left-hand part of the screen.  It will be added to the toolbar and you will
be able to pull the toolbar down, to reveal the object you have just added.

  Each object has a button created for it with a small sprite to the left of
the button.  (Note that the sprite is not part of the button, and clicking on
it will have no effect).  To launch the object you have added to the toolbar,
just click SELECT on the button.  Once you click SELECT, and the object is
launched, the toolbar will retract back into its original position.
Alternatively, clicking with ADJUST will launch the object, but keep the
toolbar from retracting.

  Clicking MENU will open a menu with the standard Info and Quit entries on
it, plus three others.  �Remove� will remove the object that was under the
pointer when you clicked MENU.  �Save� will store the current configuration
which will be autmatically restored when toolbar is next run.  �Right�
toggles the side of the screen on which toolbar resides (this option is
noted when the configuration is saved).

  Double-clicking on the title bar will either make Toolbar extend to its
full extent or make it retract into its standard position.  Whether it
extends or retracts depends on what position it is currently in - if it's in
its standard position then it will extend, otherwise it will retract into
position.

  The Toolbar can be brought to the top of the window stack by pressing
Ctrl-T.  Pressing Ctrl-T again will send it to the bottom of the window
stack.  This will only work when another application is not currently
accepting the Ctrl-T keypress, so editor windows must not have the input
focus.


 Notes _____________________________________________________________________

 � You can have up to 32 objects in this version.  If you desparately
   want more then let me know.

 � The configuration will be saved to <Choices$Write>.Toolbar where this is
   available.  Otherwise it will be stored inside the application directory.

 � The longest object leafname you should use with Toolbar is 31. 
   32-character names will corrupt the next button's contents.


 History __________________________________________________________________

  1.00 (23 Aug 1996) - First Release.
  1.01 (08 Oct 1996) - Now works in �24� modes at the expense of the window
                       looking slightly less authentic (a black horizontal
                       bar is now missing).
                     - Needs 4K more. :-(
                     - Various bugs splatted.
  1.02 (14 Oct 1996) - Double-clicking the title bar now makes the window
                       scroll up and down into position.
                     - Ctrl-T implemented - toggles the window between the
                       top and bottom or the window stack.
                     - <Choices$Write>.Toolbar is used for options if it's
                       available.
  1.03 (08 Nov 1996) - The window frame is now considered part of the title
                       bar, so it can be double-clicked and dragged etc. to
                       move the window.
                     - All applications are now Filer_Booted, such that
                       their icons appear. (thom's suggestion)
                     - The toolbar will now never obscure the icon bar.
                     - Now uses PollIdle and masks out null polls.
