Running WBT from Explorer File Menu
Keywords: filemenu
Question:
I have created a Explorer context menu for extension LST using filemenu. The only menu choice is to call a WBT (passing the file name as param1). The first line in the script which is called is AddExtender("wwctl34I.dll")I can run the wbt in various ways other than from filemenu, but when it is called from filemenu I get an error message that the extender dll can not be found. I don't especially want to hard code the entire path into the addextender statement. Is there another way to make it find-able?
When I use:
extend=strcat(DirHome(),"wwctl34I.dll") AddExtender(extend)and run it from filemenu, dirhome returns c:\windows instead of the winbatch directory.
Answer:
ErrorMode(@OFF) wbdir=RegQueryValue(@REGMACHINE,"SOFTWARE\Wilson WindowWare\WinBatch\CurrentVersion") if wbdir==0 wbdir=RegQueryValue(@REGMACHINE,"SOFTWARE\Wilson WindowWare\WinBatch Compiler\CurrentVersion") endif ErrorMode(@CANCEL) if wbdir==0 Display(5,"Error","Registry entries missing. Re-install WinBatch") exit endif homedir=strcat(wbdir,"system\") extend=strcat(homedir,"wwctl34I.dll") AddExtender(extend)
Question (continued thread):
I have successfully created a filemenu for a specific extension which calls a WBT file and passes the name of the selected file. The WBT fiddles with the file, loads it into an app and prints it (then closes the app). I want to be able to select a group of files, choose my menu item and process the entire group. But when I do any kind of multiple select the WBT runs only once.Is there a way to make my filemenu run for all files selected?
Answer (thread continued):
Ummm... Something like this in your filemenu script:
myfiles=FileItemize("")
mycount=ItemCount(myfiles,@tab)
for xx=1 to mycount
thisfile=ItemExtract(xx,myfiles,@tab)
Runwait("yourfile.wbt",thisfile)
next
