when inserting image your markup help suggests using CTRL+G.
Nothing happens with CTRL+g but if I use CTRL+G (caps) then Microsoft edge starts talking to me, reading from the top of you web page down. I went to Microsoft's community forum and and was told basically that is how CTRL+G works but was unable get an answer on how to turn that off or to rename the key to something else. I don't like edge but I do use it when I need active-x for forums as I keep chrome locked down tight. Is there a way to stop this? I usually get good answers a Microsoft but "that is how it works" was not expected.

Can anyone explain what using GCF as a "closed container" actually means?
I understand from this link that you enable this mode of operation using the HandleTopLevelRequests registry key.
I actually stumbled onto this setting as a way to prevent the Developer Tools window from automatically closing upon postbacks/redirects. That default behavior really makes the Network tab almost useless. :(
By setting the HandleTopLevelRequests registry key as described in the link above, the Developer Tools window remains open like I want.
I just don't know if this is a setting I should leave in place because I don't really understand what it's doing.
Or I suppose another way to ask it is, why wouldn't you want the HandleTopLevelRequests setting in place?
**Another registry key named UseChromeNetworking seems to often be used in conjunction with HandleTopLevelRequests. Bonus points for any details on it as well. :)
Any info at all would be appreciated-
Dropbox has the option of adding a button to the Finder toolbar. It even appears in the 'Customize Toolbar...' window.
I can't find any documentation on how this sort of thing is done.... Does anyone know how to do this, or can anyone point me towards some documentation or sample code?
EDIT ONE:
I guess a start would be finding the location of the existing icons, and any related code.
I noticed that Dropbox has files in Library/DropboxHelperTools/Dropbox_u501 called mach_inject_bundle_stub.bundle and FinderLoadBundle which might be doing the magic. Dropbox is also putting the 'tick' badge on Finder icons. This code might be involved: github.com/rentzsch/mach_star
EDIT TWO:
A Dropbox talk by Rian Hunter about the process is here, at around 15:30
http://blip.tv/pycon-us-videos-2009-2010-2011/pycon-2011-how-dropbox-did-it-and-how-python-helped-4896698
Looking in the DropboxBundle file in the Dropbox_u501 shows the icons and some compiled code. The code suggests that Rian Hunter is the author: http://twitter.com/timeserena
Rian has his own version of the Mach Star code on his github - https://github.com/rianhunter/mach_star - tho it seems much older
EDIT THREE
There was a 'Code Injection Workshop' at Stanford a few weeks ago - http://stanfordacm.com/past/ - hosted by Rian. If anyone has notes from this please let me know!
You can use Finder Sync app extension(Starting in OS X v10.10).
A Finder Sync extension can:
Add, remove, and update badges and labels on items in a monitored folder.
Display a contextual menu when the user Control-clicks an item inside a monitored folder.
Add a custom button to the Finder’s toolbar.
Dropbox was using undocumented magic. There's no officially supported way to do this; the closest you can get without reverse engineering is Services.
(Update: As of macOS 10.11, what Dropbox was doing is no longer possible at all. System Integrity Protection now prevents code from being injected into system processes, such as the Finder.)
Rian's talk at PyCon 2011 (on blip.tv) does not explain anything more than "We reverse-engineered Finder." Although the mach_star stuff is valuable, it still doesn't explain how to get a sidebar icon working. And the Stanford 'Code Injection Workshop' has not posted any content about this method.
I've nm'd and class-dump'd both bundles that Dropbox installs for each user under /Library/DropboxHelperTools, and the output provides good insight. If I get back to it, I'll finish my research and post it. Odds are, it won't be for some time, so here's hoping this nudge helps someone else.
An easy intermediate answer that may be adequate for some people is to simply create icons that look like buttons.
e.g. I created 'new text file here' and 'new terminal here icons' for my Finder:
The method can be found here.
The disadvantage is that they must be square and do not have animations/menus or show up in 'customize toolbar' etc.
Some of the webpages I visit have stubborn save file dialogs for executables. I would like to do one of the following using an extension:
Save the file by default and close the dialog box. I looked at http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions It doesn't really work for these files (the problem is described at: http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions under 'Unable to set automatic action. I verified the headers.)
I guess I can use browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone from https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_preferences , if I figure out the first part :)
Suppress the download manager from showing any such dialogs altogether.
I found https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/nsIDownloadManager#addListener() and https:// developer.mozilla.org/en/Download_Manager_improvements_in_Firefox_3 that look promising. I don't really know how to extract the source URI for the transfer either. I'm curious if anyone has any existing examples for using these or if there's a better way to do this. Or if someone knows what part of Firefox's code I could poke, that would be useful too.
Thanks!
PS: Sorry,I had to break the hyper-links above with an unnecessary space after https:// - apparently I need 10 reputation to do that :)
FWIW, I managed to work around this - though my solution probably wont work for most others.
Fortunately I'm behind a proxy I control, so I just corrected the obnoxious headers (Content-Disposition and Content-Type) before they reached Firefox. These were forcing Firefox to open the File Save Dialog box despite my specified preference to 'Always save file of this type'. Furthermore, I set 'browser.download.manager.closeWhenDone' property to True. Works for me, and I cruise through such sites w.o being interrupted.
Hy everybody,
I'm wondering if it's possible to add a new button via C++ or C# to windows 7 explorer "context strip"(don't know if this is correct name) - like on picture below.
My reason for this is because a lot of times I'm switching on&off "Show hidden files, folders and drives" functionality under Tools->Folder option->View. Therefore i want to simplify this process with a click of a button.
I was looking into ShellExecteEx function, but I am not sure I can do that. Can Anybody direct me in right direction?
thanks,
regards
I highly recommend using AutoIt for this task. Second URL comes complete with examples of how to insert buttons in various programs - however, be sure to read complete topic for misc. updates to the provided code.
See:
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9517
Btw: I misread topic to begin with; gui 'context' related material in Windows is often taken to deal with right-click menus
Edit: limit on urls for new users on Stack Overflow mean I had to cut out some of less essential links - google away.
To answer part of the question, I think it is possible as for quite some time we've seen small programs to add a "New Folder" button to the explorer. I think those still works with Win 7.
Look at http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/StExBar for example
[Edit] Forgot to clarify that Source Code for StExBar is on Google Code
This seems like a petty question, but this situation is starting to get annoying:
When I'm working in VS 2008 and I want to get context-sensitive help, I highlight the term/keyword/window that I want help on, and I push F1. It brings up the MSDN help window, but it always gives me a "Page not Found"/broken link on the start, and I have to go to the search page and search on the term that I'm looking for, which is annoying for starters, and sometimes the term is ambiguous and I have to go hunting through tens of different options before I get the right help page.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?
Thanks!
Have you tried messing with your environment-help-online options? You may want to try: "try online first, then local" or "try local only, not online". I don't have this problem, so I can't verify this as a solution, but it's something you may want to try.
Solution (sort of...)
I switched to using the "Integrated Help Viewer" instead of the "External Help Viewer", and now it works. I still don't know why the external viewer doesn't work, and I'll give answer credit to whoever can help me set up the external viewer properly...
