Diodia ToolbarCreator 1.3.01
What’s new in version 1.3.01?
1) New built-in commands
The framework offers three new built-in commands: Navigate, JavaScript and VBScript.
The Navigate command makes it a lot easier to add simple link buttons to a toolbar. It is no longer necessary to implement a new command for each button. Now all it takes is a single line in the XML configuration file.
The
JavaScript and VBScript commands makes it possible to execute scripts on
the current web page from the toolbar. Buttons performing simple tasks,
such as auto-fill, can be implemented by simply specifying some script
code in the toolbar configuration file.
2) Control parameters
The
button, edit and combo-box controls now have an optional parameter. The
parameter is specified in the toolbar configuration file and passed to the
associated command when the command is executed. Parameters make it possible to
reuse commands with slight variations. This may reduce the amount of
coding required when implementing a toolbar.
3) Improved support for tabbing
The
Tab key can now be used to move keyboard focus between different edit and
combo-box controls in a toolbar.
4) Keyboard accelerator support
It
is now possible to
assign keyboard accelerators to buttons in a toolbar. The entity & is
used instead of the usual ampersand. For example, <button
caption="&Home.../> assigns the accelerator 'H' to the button. The
accelerators are active when focus is in an edit or combo-box control in
the toolbar.
5) Visual Studio 6 and 2003 desupported
Visual Studio 6 and 2003 are no longer supported. ToolbarCreator now
creates Visual Studio 2005 workspaces only.
