Ihide

Just to know if an application that do object bar's job to hide file menus would be useful to some people

If so tell me, I'll code and release it, with source code included

EDIT:

because not everyone have full ObjectBar

It would be and it's a good idea, but there has to be somewhere to access the File>Edit menus....coz I sure need em in photoshop

Well, I use OB, but sure that little app would be very welcomed by people who don't run OB due to low memory (i.e a laptop).

I'm amazed of how this little apps are coming almost every day!

@Mihaly: I'm sure siwu could implement an exlusion list.

#29722

go for it! i have never managed to get rid of the menu's.

#29725

I'd love an app like that...it's the main feature why I tried to use Objectbar on my system...but OB has just too many other features and thereby too many bugs. I finally had to unload it from my system because of all the glitches it caused.

#29726

Yah, Hide it up!!!

Im irritated Hiding the Menu Bar my self. That would be awesome.

Go for it Dev siwu!

#29728

I vote~ :lol: :own: (Y)

Agreed...have a laptop here! :rolleyes:

This feature is in the Real version of OB, but its hard to come by, by all means. We could really use this app!!

#29751

yeah, we have plenty of docks (and they're all free (Y)). Its about time we had more than one menubar app! Go for it!

#29759

It'd be great to see an alternative to objectbar. Do whatever work you need!

#29762

Okay, I warn you

this app won't replace ObjectBar, it will just disable the File Menu

ONLY

at least for the moment

I don't plan to continue it, and it will be released as is

That's why it will be released with the source

#29763

Forgive my rudeness, but what is the point of it? I mean, those menus are pretty essential.

Are the menus still going to be accessable via Shortcut/hotkey?

Can you also create a basic app that shows the menus on top, it doesnt have to be super customizable like ObjectBar. Just a basic thing, like KDE has. (Y)

#29771

Well, I've done some investigations and it turns out that iHide doesn't only hide the menu bar, it destroys it

so ObjectBar don't find it neither

I am looking for a way to get trought this

#29791

perhaps stupid but can u use this ?

// KillMenuBar by Lathiat < Lathiat @ windows-sucks.com >

#include

#define retOK strcpy(data, "S_OK KillMenuBar v1.2 by Lathiat"); return 3;

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall DLLInfo(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause);

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall KillMenuBar(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause);

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall KMBpass(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause);

int WINAPI DllEntryPoint(HINSTANCE hinst, unsigned long reason, void*) { return 1; }

int __stdcall KillMenuBar(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause)

{

SetMenu(mWnd, NULL);

retOK;

}

int __stdcall KMBpass(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause)

{

SetMenu(data, NULL);

retOK;

}

int __stdcall DLLInfo(HWND mWnd, HWND aWnd, char *data, char *parms, BOOL show, BOOL nopause)

{

retOK;

}

It's used to kill the menubar for iRC

#29792

It sure works, I use the same way

SetMenu(hWnd, NULL) but as described in msdn:

BOOL SetMenu(

HWND hWnd, // handle to window

HMENU hMenu // handle to menu

);

Parameters

hWnd

Handle to the window to which the menu is to be assigned.

hMenu

Handle to the new menu. If this parameter is NULL, the window's current menu is removed.

So the menu is actually destroyed

#29793

Okay, I've done some research and I will use ObjectBar's way to get rid of the menu.

To hook the WndProc function and prevent the menubar from being displayed

I'll let you informed

And I think iBlend will use this kind of procedure hooking it will speed it up

#29794

Good Luck! This will be great if you can get it right :own:

#29825

Siwu from what I can tell objectbar resizes the window contents in order to hide the menubar. It's still there that's why objectbar can still display it.

#29836

oh man that would be great if you could get this working. i really don't like OB so this would be wonderful. and then when this is done, a new proggie made just to duplicate the os x menubar would be nice :hint: and it would be made just for that so it would work a lot better than OB does with the aqua skins...

#29879

yeh I cant stand Object Bar, seems kinda slow and screws up games and stuff.
