- Pegasus Mail for Windows v3.0, configurable toolbar.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Pegasus Mail System,
- Copyright (c) 1990-98, David Harris, All Rights Reserved.
-
-
- Under Pegasus Mail v3.0 and later, the button panel (toolbar) is
- configurable via simple scripts. The use of scripts is not normally
- intended to be exposed to end-users, and it is anticipated that a
- GUI-based editor will be made available at some future time. In the
- meantime, however, those willing to do a small amount of work with an
- editor can customize the toolbar to suit their needs.
-
- Pegasus Mail maintains internal definitions for the toolbar in its
- resource file, WINPMAIL.DAT: these definitions are usually loaded and
- parsed when the toolbar is created. The user can, however, create a text
- file called TOOLBAR.PM in his home mailbox, containing the same scripting
- commands. If TOOLBAR.PM is found, it is loaded in preference to the
- internal resource script.
-
- The format of the resource script in TOOLBAR.PM is simple: each line
- defines a single toolbar element - a button, a separator, or a combobox.
- Other elements may be added in future. Lines beginning with semicolon
- characters are regarded as comments and ignored.
-
- Command lines have the following general form:
-
- <type> [other parameters]
-
- "type" is an integer that determines the type of the toolbar item. The
- following values are defined:
-
- 0 A standard 22x20 pixel bitmapped button
- 1 An 8-pixel separator gap
- 2 A combobox control
-
- Each type of control has its own parameter list as follows:
-
- Bitmapped buttons:
-
- ,<control_id>,<flags>,<bitmap_id>,<"tooltip">
- "control_id" the internal activation code for this button
- (see the list below for valid values)
- "flags" an integer, currently unused but must be 0
- "bitmap_id" the integer code for the internal bitmap for the
- button (see the list below)
- "tooltip" the tooltip text the button should display when the
- mouse lingers over it for too long. This string
- must appear in quotes.
-
- Separators: No parameters
-
-
- Combobox controls:
-
- ,<control_id>,<flags>
- "control_id" the internal activation code for this button
- (see the list below for valid values)
- "flags" an integer, currently unused but must be 0
-
-
- Note that for combobox and button controls, there must be a comma between
- the "type" parameter and the control ID.
-
-
- Control IDs:
-
- Control IDs are internal tags used to tie a button to a given internal
- function. The following control IDs are recognized:
-
- Buttons:
-
- 801 Start a new mail message
- 802 Open or re-scan the new mail folder
- 803 Work with mail folders

-
- 836 Start a new circulation message.
- 838 Switch to the folder manager window and add a mailbox
-
- Comboboxes:
-
- 840 List of currently-defined identities on the system
-
- You can create a button that triggers any standard menu item in the
- Pegasus Mail menu hierarchy by adding 10000 to the menu item's code (see
- Appendix A, below) then using that value as the button's control ID.
-
-
-
- Bitmap IDs:
-
- A number of bitmaps are built-in to Pegasus Mail and can be accessed in
- buttons via special bitmap IDs. The following IDs are available: note
- that the text describing each button is simple description - the control
- ID is what decides what function is actually associated with a button.
