How can I (de)activate toolbars

[skyteddy]

Hello,

I want to replace the standard windows quicklaunchbar with the FreeLaunchBar. The installation of the program via AutoIt works , but how can I activate the freelaunchbar in the toolbars-menu and how can I deaktivate the default windows-launchbar. How can I control if the toolbar is already activated or not?

Second question. My taskbar has 2 rows. How can I get the position e.g. of the adress-toolbar (I don't know, if this is the right translation of the toolbar) and how can I move it to a other position. Or how can I get the position of the activated freelaunchbar in the taskbar and how can I sort the icons within this freelaunchbar. Normaly it works with drag and drop. But how get I the position of the icon?

Third question. In a new user-profile is the "Input Locale"-toolbar active. How can I call the menu via autoit to close and deaktivate this toolbar? Only the deactivation with the toolbar-menu is not enough. Normaly I must open the menu with a right click, then "close input locale" and then confirm the question.

many thanks in advance!

Tip: post your script

Download Auto3Lib from my signature and run the code below. You should be able to adapt this same script to check the new toolbar that you want to activate. PM me if you have questions.

This code doesn't work with AutoITv3. I believe Auto3Lib has been integrated with the program now. I'm wanting to do the same thing. Any updates to this code by chance? I'm trying to disable the Windows Desktop Search toolbar automagically. I can get it to enter the toolbar menu, but not sure how to have it "find" the Windows Desktop Search option to uncheck it.

Please help

Isn't Auto3Lib obsolete today? The Auto3Lib you point to starts with this posting:

[snip]

With the exception of "Strings" this library has been Ported to the standard UDF includes in Autoit.

This libaray is not supported by the original poster nor is it supported by the Dev team.

If installed on a system with the Latest version(s) of AutoIt you'll get bundles of errors.

Therefore I've removed the link and download, not needed anymore.

Reason for edit: Removed links and Locked

So is the not ported part "Strings" availble elsewhere?

Well.. what I meant was.. for instance:

$aRect  = _Toolbar_GetButtonRect($hWnd, _Toolbar_IndexToCommand($hWnd, _Toolbar_ButtonCount($hWnd) - 1))oÝ÷ Ùj.Ûn®x§¶®¶­sbb33c¶&V7BÒôuT7G&ÅFööÆ&%ôvWD'WGFöå&V7Bb33c¶væBÂôuT7G&ÅFööÆ&%ôæFWFô6öÖÖæBb33c¶væBÂôuT7G&ÅFööÆ&%ô'WGFöä6÷VçBb33c¶væBÒoÝ÷ Ù»­jëh×6$tPoint = _Lib_GetPointFromXY($aRect[2], $aRect[3])

I don't see any "GetPointFromXY" UDF

And so on and so forth through the script. I want to right click the taskbar, click the top indexed button (which is "Toolbars") and then make sure "Windows Desktop Search" is unchecked within that submenu.
