Open Recent

[ken gray]

i'd like to be able to get to the Open Recent menu option using a macro or gesture. what is the menu number for that? (ie Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

men 33042

will get you to the Threads listing.)

[Gintaras]

Menu can be recorded.

Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

men 33304 id(2213 _hwndqm) ;;View Open Items

i tried that but i just kept coming up with this (i did check the 'men' option too).
Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

int w1=act(win("Quick Macros - List - [Macro]" "QM_Editor"))
lef+ 76 37 w1
lef- 77 37 w1
int w2=wait(7 WV win("" "#32768"))
lef 35 14 w2

thanks...how did you get that.

[Gintaras]

Use menu Tools -> Record Menu.

You could always get the list of files from the reg and make your own menu..... not really sure how to do this but I found the key

Code:

Copy      Help

str rcntfl
if(rget(rcntfl "Recent Files" "Software\GinDi\QM2\settings"))
,out rcntfl

It is only geting the last line of the key for some reason. Im not sure how to work with REG_MULTI_SZ.

men cannot open submenus. Menu items that open submenus don't have an id. In this and most other cases, you cannot open a submenu without opening its parent popup menu.

Macro

Code:

What about my idea, do u have any tips on working with REG_MULTI_SZ

[Gintaras]

Recently executed macros are not stored in the registry.

--------

A multistring is a string consisting of several strings separated by 1 null and ends with 2 nulls, like this:

"string1[0]string2[0]string3[0]"

To go to the next string, add len(currentstring)+1.

Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

lpstr s="string1[0]string2[0]string3[0]"

rep
,if(!s[0]) break
,out s
,s+len(s)+1

another example
Macro

Code:

Copy      Help

str multistring.fromn("string1" 8 "string2" 8 "string3" 8)

lpstr s(multistring) se(multistring+multistring.len)
rep
,if(s>=se) break
,out s
,s+len(s)+1

i must say that i miss the recent menu as button (recent executed macros).

[ken gray]

you can make your own with the trigger "QM Events" and put a macro that does this

Macro
Trigger @11     

Code:

Copy      Help

'Ar
0.005

thanks, but this solutions not very beautiful.
why has this been removed ?

[Gintaras]

The Previous button belongs to the "edit" part, so I moved the menu to th e"run" part. Did't think the menu is used frequently.

Now how to move it back? One solution would be to add "View Executed Items" below "View Open Items", and when you check it, show the list below the open items list. Is it OK? Or better add it as a popup menu somewhere? Another soulution would be to add GetExecutedItems function.

[ken gray]

how about another little window that'll open up beside that new "View Open Items" frame?

like this.

[ primary window ] [ secondary window ] [View Open Items] [Recent Run Items]
