LaunchDock - updated!

maqleod · September 25, 2005

Well, it's been 3.5 years since I wrote this and I'm just now getting back to it with some major improvements. It still needs some work and some refining in certain areas, but it works.

LaunchDock is a tabbed application launcher.

Features:

Add as many tabs as you'd like

drag and drop .exe files on buttons to add them

change background color

change transparency

start on boot option

always on top option

minimizes to tray

To Do:

Fix noted bugs (below)

add autohide when docked to screen edge

add ability to handle any type of file, not just executables

add ability to change the order of tabs

add ability to set custom hotkeys for buttons

eventually update to sqlite embedded functionality for better speed

create help file

Known Bugs:

If minimized to tray when closed does not always appear when opened again

New tabs retain other tabs icons when first shown (icons do not remain if tab loses focus and regains it)

Delete Tab does not realign buttons correctly on tabs after the deleted tab, loads correctly again when restarted though

@maqleod,

good job

but i would change to look like this:

Sunblood · September 25, 2005

One recommendation: With every Run command, include a working directory. Some programs require you specify it, and other programs (Such as games) will put temp files in the directory it's being run from, thus cluttering the Launchdock directory.

drak · September 26, 2005

very nice

One suggestion would be to be able to add Tabs

maqleod · September 26, 2005

thanks, pastl, I was thinking actually of making it an option to either be a horizontal rectangle or a square gui, just hadn't quite decided how I was going to go about doing that.

sunblood, I will look into adding variables to account for changing the working directory to whatever program is being run and then switching back again, that shouldn't be too hard to do.

as for drak, thanks, and I'm not sure about the best way for adding tabs from within the program, I had thought about that feature when I first started scripting the tabs. I also want to make it so that you can configure the tab names. I'd also like to add the ability to configure the hotkeys.

Other options I want to add are a slide bar for setting the transparency, as well as a get position function so that you can set the start position to wherever the window currently is, or maybe just have the coordinates default to where it currently is. I'd also like to have an option so that you can decide if LaunchDock will open normally or minimized to the tray. Let me know if any of these sound good.

Sunblood · September 26, 2005

You don't have to switch to the working directory, it's an optional parameter in the Run command.

Run("C:\Program Files\Game\Game.exe","C:\Program Files\Game\")

busysignal · September 26, 2005

Very nice work for a couple of weeks..

Cheers..

drak · September 27, 2005

here's a simple example of adding tabs at run time:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$SettingsTabs = IniRead(@Scriptdir & "\ExampleTabs.ini", "Settings", "Tabs", 1)
dim $TabSheet

GUICreate("Form1", 492, 466, 449, 198, -1)
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)
$PageControl1 = GUICtrlCreateTab(80, 64, 361, 273)
For $x = 1 To $SettingsTabs
    $TabSheet[$x] = GUICtrlCreateTabItem(IniRead(@Scriptdir & "\ExampleTabs.ini", "Tabs", "Tab" & $x, 1))
Next
GUICtrlCreateTabItem("")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop
    Case Else
;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd
Exit

Sample INI file (ExampleTabs.ini):

[Tabs]

Tab1=Apps

Tab2=Games

Tab3=System

[settings]

Tabs=3

Neat idea. Thanks for the post..

Cheers..

maqleod · February 16, 2009

updated, finally

now dynamically adds, renames, deletes(sort of) tabs.

Comments, suggestions welcome, especially when it comes to the deletetab() function - I'm still trying to make that work much more smoothly.

LaunchDock - updated!
