AskParam 1.0.6.152

AskParam 1.0.6.152

Allows entering command line parameters in GUI dialog. Entered parameters may be inserted into command line of process to be started in any order and ammount. You can set dialog title, prompt text and set of suggested strings for drop-down list. Environment variables in suggested strings are expanded automatically before asking corresponding parameter value.

Environment variables are expanded anywhere: in started application path, in suggested strings, in full parameter string passed to that application, and in dialog caption and hint text.

Example (button to shutdown PC after specified number of seconds):
Command: AskParam.exe
Parameters: /c"Shutdown computer after timeout" /t"After 10 minutes: 600" /u"After an hour: 3600" /t"After two hours: 7200" /c(1)"To Be" /c(2)"Not To Be" /p(h)"Shutdown timeout in seconds:" shutdown -s -t %%1
