Yes, slow. (I had forgotten the other meaning of lame
) But right now it seems to be fast as ever again. So all cool.

Yes, it was really crawling for some 30 minutes. But its back on track!
Thanks again for new SC, so much easier now.
Alas, my dirty trick did not last long.

But damnit, your dirty trick lead to a cool new functionality. I find myself clicking on the cloud button like a madman while drooling onto the keyboard.

Updated earlier posts to reflect new SC ctbicon.

If you like
counting things (e.g. the numbers of coffees you had while writing this script), here's two scripts (left click and right click of a CTB):
Code: Select all
// increment
$n = substr(ctbicon(), 6);
$n = trim(gettoken($n, 1, ">"));
$n++;
ctbicon("label: $n >554433,ffffee");
Code: Select all
"Reset Counter" ctbicon("label: 0 >554433,ffffee")

Nice!
I just made myself a dilemma icon. Basically a thumbs up or down to help me decide something.

Yes, this:
Code: Select all
$now=now("msecs");
$rand=rand(0, 100);
$total=5000;//Shuffle up down for 5 seconds (aka suspense)
WHILE($now+$total > now("msecs")){
ctbicon("t-up.ico");
wait(200);
ctbicon("t-dn.ico");
wait(200);
}
IF($rand < 50){
ctbicon("t-up.ico");
}
ELSE{
ctbicon("t-dn.ico");
}
Again, Fatcow.

When you asked about the forum being "lame" earlier, I too thought you were referring to it being full of fluff or maybe lacking substance. Some fluff now and then is nice though. The visual part of the experience is important too. Look at the all the chatter that CFI created.
And by the way, this ctbicon stuff is great.

Nice tool this
ctbicon(), much easier than managing several ctb via
toolbar()!
Now that we can see states on toolbar icons, I'm hijacking this thread a bit to ask how we could change/see states on menu icons?
(apart from creating dynamic menus)
Because renaming or copying an icon
to a previously existing one doesn't refresh its display, even after a "Refresh icons" (#502) (at least under WinXP).
e.g. Overwriting "ShowHiddenItems.ico" with "ShowHiddenItems_OFF.ico", whatever the method, keeps showing the old "ShowHiddenItems.ico" until XY is restarted.
Is there already a way to force a refresh on cached menu icons - or a workaround?
Thanks
PS: Cool ideas about the new buttons!
Wondering about making a dice CTB now...
Soon we'll play poker on our XY toolbar!

Not totally understood. What are the steps to get a non-refresh?

Sorry, but could not resist to make a simpler version of the thumbs toggler...
Code: Select all
//thumbs
$i = 0;
$rounds = rand(24, 25);
while ($i < $rounds) {
$icon = ($icon == "t-up.ico")? "t-dn.ico":"t-up.ico";
ctbicon($icon);
wait 200;
$i++;
}

Code: Select all
delete 0, 0, "<xyicons>\Test.ico";
copyitem "<xyicons>\Test_ON.ico", "<xyicons>\Test.ico";
"Test.ico" is displayed in its original (previous) state, whereas it should look like "Test_ON.ico". Refreshing list or icons doesn't refresh it, only a restart of XY does.
Alternately, open any icon in an editor, update it and save it: it won't be refreshed in XY
(at least here under WinXP - but I may be missing a tweak or setting).
Quite noticeable when updating icons used by CFI, cause it's responsible for a lot of XY restarts...
