Version 14 of TclToolbar

Updated 2003-05-27 22:22:13

This Windows application is meant to be a total replacement for the Start Menu. Eventually, it might grow to be a replacement for the entire shell (explorer).

It features Tcl/Tk support via TclBridge, drag and drop, COM plugin support with event hooking (please see http://www.liquidtoolbar.com/plugins.html ), DDE support, "floating" command support, nested commands, auto-hide, and full scriptability.

Was also known as "Joe's Really Spiffy Tcl/Tk Toolbar". It is now known as LiquidToolbar.

NOTE: Also known as "Joe's Really Spiffy Tcl/Tk Toolbar" RS Was surprised to hear that the above widgetry was all implemented in Visual Basic...

Joe Mistachkin Actually, it uses Visual Basic for the front-end, Visual C++ for TclBridge, and Tcl/Tk scripts to automate it. The COM plugins/hooks can be written in any COM component producing language.
