TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Is it possible to make a macro to show quicklaunch menu in WinXP? Any tips on how to do it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 From Microsoft Help: To add a program to the Quick Launch barIn My Computer or Windows Explorer, click the icon for the program you want to add, and then drag it to the Quick Launch portion of the taskbar located next to the Start button. The icon for that program appears next to the other Quick Launch icons on the taskbar This will only launch Macro Express if you create a shortcut. The instructions to do this can be found in the help file, or the reply to one of your earlier posts: http://pgmacros.com/community/index.php?ac...E=02&f=2&t=4493.

TsunamiZ Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I don't mean to add a program to the Quick Launch bar. I mean to show the Quick Launch menu of icons, such as when you click on the black arrow at the right the bar [when there are more icons not being shown].

jason Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 The option is in the Startup options found by clicking on Options and then selectiong preferences. If you check the Place in System Tray and Start Macro Express on Startup, the Macro Express icon will be placed in the System Tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Jason, He wants a macro to SHOW the Quicklalunch menu, the part that is expose by clicking on the bar with the two little black arrows when you have more icons in the QuickLaunch area than you have room to display. He doesn't want to have to click on the bar to see the menu. Probably wants to display the menu with a hotkeyand then cursor to a selection. TsunamiZ, You could have a macro that does a mouseclick on the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 OK. After mouse move and click, is there a macro that can return the mouse BACK to the position it was when the hotkey was performed? Also, how about moving it back to where it SHOULD be relative to how much the mouse has moved from the hotkeyed position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TsunamiZ Posted April 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Also, how can I limit this macro to play only on the taskbar? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floyd Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 is there a macro that can return the mouse BACK to the position it was when the hotkey was performed?Save current window titleSave current X and Y mouse coordinates Move to position and click whatever Activate saved window Move mouse to saved coordinates moving it back to where it SHOULD be relative to how much the mouse has moved from the hotkeyed position?This is the same question. Look, have tried any of these things before asking? It seems not because these are very basic commands listed in some very obvious default categories.
