A way to put that menu bar to the task bar

all i would add is:
+ add current window title

Agreed. And make the active window title bold.

including a new version of ObjectBar (2.0), (snip), as well as the context menu customization removed (yippee!!).

?!? Why is that good?

Still, I'd prefer yours any day.

Objectbar=much more than a OS X Finder-for-Windows enabler.

.Max's app could become just that, which is exactly what we need for mimicing OS X.

He could create what Mcbar initially promised to become before it got discontinued (?/ or at least not updated for ages). Please continue your effords .Max

Loving this - can't wait for all the bugs to be worked out... any chance of customizable fonts and such?

BOOOO ObjectBar! (No offense, crni)

OK i love it..no doubt..but if someone could tell me how to "Steal menu's from programs" then i'd try to do some of them and get back to you with the info

I have almost done owner drawing, but in the last moment it just stopped working.

I'm writing on VB6, so if there are some people who know it really well, why not go open source?

#284171

hey .max, you are on the right way!!!! pls go on!

p.s. IrfanView works too :-)))))

#284480

Any way that this app could be merged with FinderBar to create the ultimate Objectbar killer? IMO, anyway...

That, or Stardock could suddenly decide to distribute Objectbar as opensource AND find a way to cut it's resource usage...

Or, i could suddenly stumble upon a few grands in cash, and get myself an iBook...

Well, a man can dream...

It doesn't seem to work for Adobe Photoshop. I cannot use the toolbar. But ++ for the effort.

Hey Infinity, i really enjoyed your "eat your brain" link! Did you make that? How can i place one in my website? I know this seems a bit off-topic but I really needed to ask you this

Your current mac bar thing is good but it needs some options...to help you with youe development im making you a list of options that i think this app requires so that it appeals to everyone:

* It needs to be like a toolbar so people have a way of using the taskbar normally-or they could hide the taskbar using the display options

* It would also be good if each of the buttons (file edit ect) appeared like tasks on the taskbar...for instance there would be a shortened one for File....this would make it possible for the app to blend in with visual styles of the users choice which is also good.

* The app also needs some more compatibility but i think that you'll sort that out quite soon with the help of Rimmer or the author of that other bar that is sometimes used (i can't remember the name but i also don't mean OB)

* Also the fonts need to be customisable and compatible with cleartype (as they may already be)

I think that as you only spent an hour on what you have already done...these request shouldn't be tooo difficult for you to achieve ...i suggest you team up with the authors of similar apps that are on aquasoft to make this app the best it can be

if anyone agrees with meor disagrees with me speak up ....i know there is enough ability on this forum to do the things i have outlined

Looking at your screenshots - any progress on adding an always-there "Window" button? So we don't have to click on the desktop to switch between minimized windows...

The 'Window' button is there in one of the screenshots, but I think that's for the active window itself...

#284931

Any progress at all? :confused:

#287354

Sorry, I still have no opportunity to work on this. I'm kinda upset I made you expect something of this.

I'm about to publish the code, so anyone could look at it.

#287688

ure abandoning it?

#288079

No I'm not actually. I'm postponing it. I'm interested in it, but right now I have exams...

#288158

ok...if you don't mind me asking...what ones?

#288162

Exams?

Operating Systems, Automated Control Theory, Economics, Operational Research and Electronics. The last just drives me mad. Hate it :mad:

BTW, I've found a way to hide menu bar of all Explorer instances. However this does not let my app steal it's menu.

Yesterday I've got my Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 with an updated MSDN. I found there a sample, which after a modification can hide explorer's menu bars.

Here it is. Save the following as HideMenu.vbs

dim objShell
dim objShellWindows
dim k

set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set objShellWindows = objShell.Windows

if (not objShellWindows is nothing) then
dim objIE
for k = 0 to objShellWIndows.Count
set objIE = objShellWindows.Item(k-1)
if (not objIE is nothing) then
objIE.MenuBar = True
end if
next
set objIE = nothing
end if
set objShellWindows = nothing
set objShell = nothing
