Double Menus
One user requested that more menus and buttons be available on the script
editor. Instead of adding more menus and buttons, this script shows how to
double up assignments so that each menu can be used for two purposes.
procedure ChangeCharts(s: string);
var
i: integer;
f,p: TForm;
begin
window:=1; p:=Self;
for i:=0 to pred(MDIChildCount) do begin
f:=ActiveMDIChild;
if Copy(f.name,1,8)='frmChart' then SendKeys(s);
application.processmessages;
p.Next;
end;
end;
begin
if KeyDown(2) then begin {test
right mouse button down}
if who=1 then ChangeCharts('1');
if who=5 then ChangeCharts('5');
end
else begin
if who=1 then ChangeCharts('T');
if who=5 then ChangeCharts('2');
end;
end;
The KeyDown(2) function tests whether the right mouse button is depressed
when the script executes. If the right mouse is depressed, the first
set of values 1 and 5 are used as parameters. If the right mouse
button is not depressed, the second set of values T and 2 are used as
parameters. This is a slick trick for doubling the
functionality of the menu numbers. The left mouse button is still
clicked on the menu to make a selection, and the right mouse is either depressed
or not depressed during the left mouse button click. Thus, both
selection choices can be accomplished with one hand using the
mouse. This process works best with the menu numbers 0 through 9 that
appear on the main menu when the script editor form is open (could be
minimized).
