short: A 1-line/row virtgrp ExchangeClone(MUI) type: util/cdity author: Thomas Igracki version: 37.13 uploader: T.Igracki@Jana.berlinet.de This program controls all commodities in your system. It is an alternative for the normal Exchange and uses the MagicUserInterface by Stefan Stuntz. The difference between C='s (or AT's) Exchange and CxBar is that CxBar displays the commodities as buttons (cycles) in a horizontical or vertical (switchable!), one-line (bar) or one-row virtual group. Every button has a help-bubble which shows the title and the description of the commodity and informs you if it has a window which can be shown and hidden ("GUI: YES" or "GUI: NO"). Also you can turn on a size-gadget to size the window and a drag- gadget to change the window's position. The size-gadget appears on the right or bottom and the drag-gadget on the left or top. You can also have the window the normal/intuition windowborder incl. all bordergadgets. CxBar has also some arexx commands to control the commodities via arexx! The help-bubble of CxBar looks like this: _____________________________________ / \ | CxBar v37.13 (21.09.96) by T. Igracki | | A new Exchange clone. | | | | GUI: YES | \___ ________________________________/ \ \ \ \ \/ If you click on a button (left mouse) a popupmenu will be shown where you can select one of the following commands/actions: ---------- | Remove | -> remove/kill the commodity (w/o requester!) | Disable | -> deactivate the commodity | Enable | -> activate the commodity | Hide | -> hide the commodity/window | Show | -> show/popup the commodity/window | Exchange | -> the name of the commodity, no function ---------- If a commodity didn't has a window/GUI to popup/hide the entries Hide and Show won't be there! If a commodity is inactive the name will be shown in italic style. Hint: If you have a three-button-mouse, you can use the middle button to scroll the buttons to the left or right! If not set "Option/Scrollbar?". BTW: I have noticed that the programs ModePro v4.13, MagicLayers v1.1 and SnoopDos v3.0 didn't reacts like they should if someone toggles their activity, so the toggle command works only once for these programs. I have eMailed the authors of these programs, but I didn't got any response, so if any of you knows one of the authors please report the bug!
