ButtonBar eXtended 2.3

ButtonBar eXtended 2.3

One main feature is that you can create buttons that run macros. The other main feature is that buttons can run different commands if you hold down modifier keys like Ctrl, Alt and Shift if you click on the button. (Or if you use different mouse buttons clicking on it.)

What's new

Version 2.3
- Added 64-bit support
- The ini-files written use Unicode now.

Version 2.2
- Fixed some bugs in the MouseTool.
- Nothing else has been changed.

Version 2.1
- Added third parameter: You can specify a ButtonBar there that should be loaded when switching to "view-mode". (Useful if you use want to use a dropdown bar as a ButtonBar eXtended.)
- Improved MouseTool.exe it only affects the Total Commander window now.

Version 2.0
- It's possible to use the different mouse buttons as modifiers. (You need to run "MouseTool.exe" at windows startup to make it work) Just start the modifiers with "2", "3", "4" and "5" to use the different mouse buttons. A button with the Tooltip "3c" will start if you press Ctrl + middle mouse key on the converted button.
- Improved the video with many notes. You may watch it again to understand it better.
- Added an ini file: "ButtonBar eXtended.ini"
- Added ini option: "[MouseTool] UseMouseButtonX=0/1" - should this mouse button be used as modifier? Only works if "MouseTool.exe" runs. You can decide if the right mouse button (edit ButtonBar) should be replaced.
- Added ini option: "[MouseTool] ShowIcon=0/1" - specify if "MouseTool.exe" should use an icon in the tray or not.
- Added ini option: "[ButtonBar eXtended] CustomUsercmd=..." you may choose a alternative Usercmd.ini path here. Like: "%Commander_Path%\Language\WCMD_XXX.INI"
- Bundled the old and still used command line utility "Toolbar.exe" with the source code.
- Old "Toolbar.exe": Support for environmental variables in File and Path
- Old "Toolbar.exe": Support for Alt and Shift but without combinations
- Old "Toolbar.exe": See "Toolbar.ini" for a short description how it works

Version 1.3
 - Improved the readme a lot.
 - Added a video about usage.
 - Changed: "-d" now is the default command line switch. After switching to view-ButtonBar with "-d" the view-ButtonBar is also made TCs default one. When you switch it with "-c" the default ButtonBar of TC will not change. (should be used for subbars)

Version 1.2
 - Added: Support for environmental variables. Warning: Total Commander already uses the percent sign "%" in parameters. So make sure you use two percent signs: "%%Commander_Path%%")

Version 1.1
 - Added: After switching to "ButtonBar eXtended" the ButtonBar is made TCs default one.
 - Bugfix: Switch button didn’t work when path to "ButtonBar eXtended.exe" was quoted.

Version 1.0
 - Complete rewrite of source code
 - Renamed it from "Toolbar" to "ButtonBar eXtended"
 - Support for modifiers Ctrl, Alt, Shift and any combinations of them
 - fluffy integration into TCs buttonbar - no need of ini files anymore
 - new ahk_commands: "ahk_Sleep" and "ahk_SendInput"
 - removed the workaround for parameters by using custom commands

Version 0.3
 - Added support for em_commands

Version 0.1
 - First official release: Heavy depended on ini files and needed workarounds for parameters
 - Macro support
 - Support for modifier Ctrl
