improvement for inputselect() - icons for nonicon-entries

[zakhar]

Hello, Dear XYplorer Community!
May be, it were good to add
a style option (new_style_option in the following example) and / or
a syntax option, that would be indicated by "|"-sign (as example)
for inputselect() to give user the possibility to show individual defined icons
for nonicon-items (optional text entries) on the left side in the dialog window as follows:

Code: Select all

$nonicon_item1 = "some text 1|path_to_the_icon1"; // nonicon-entry 1 with an individual_icon_1 
$nonicon_item2 = "some text 2|path_to_the_icon2"; // nonicon-entry 1 with an individual_icon_2
$icon____items = "a list of files and / or folders"; // icon-entries
$db__________ = "$nonicon_item1<crlf>$nonicon_item2<crlf>$icon_items";
inputselect(,$db__________,<crlf>,1+2048+new_style_option,0);

This would allow to replace the "question"-sign on the left side of the nonicon-entries with a user defined icon.
Thanks!

style=1024?

style=1024?

Thank you, I did not see this already existing option 1024.
I tried 1024 and found out, that 1024 overrides 2048 in "1+1024+2048",
so that paths of normal icon-entries will be shown despite of 2048.

The problem is that the nonicon-items and icon-items must be shown in one menu.
As I understand it is not possible for now.

The problem is that the nonicon-items and icon-items must be shown in one menu.

It's possible. Only 2048 is not supported if 1024 is present.

It's possible.

My solution for now is creating of dummy folders, which have nonicon-item-names and custom icons (using desktop.ini-files) and
let script do some things other than opening / going to this dummy folders.
Example of a nonicon-item-name of a dummy folder: "Open ini-file" - selecting this folder in the inputselect()-dialogue lets script open an ini-file.
