Help: Tool Bars

Tool Bars

The Take Command window has two toolbars: the Explorer toolbar and the Tab toolbar.

You can hide or show the toolbars with the View / Toolbars menu entry, and you can detach and dock a toolbar by clicking on the left edge of the toolbar and dragging it to its new position. The new position of the toolbar will be saved when you close Take Command and restored when you restart.

Explorer Toolbar

The Explorer Toolbar has five default controls:

•	The Edit/Debug button opens the TCC batch debugger in a new TCC tab window.

•	The Find combo box searches for text in the current tab window's buffer.

•	The Views button toggles the view type in the List View window between Large Icons, List, and Details). You can also select the view type from a drop-down list by clicking on the down arrow.

•	The Select Folder combo box changes the current directory for the Folders and List View windows.

•	The Up button changes to the parent directory in the Folders and List View windows.

•	The Filter combo box allows you to enter wildcards or regular expressions to filter the directories and files displayed in the List View window. You can enter multiple wildcards by enclosing each argument in double quotes and separating them with a comma. For example:

"*.cmd", "*.txt", "*.doc"

To enter a regular expression in the Filter combo box, precede it with two colons. For example:

::/c

You can also set the filter from TCC with the TCFILTER command.

You can customize the Explorer Toolbar by clicking on the button on the right edge and selecting Add or Remove Buttons, or by right-clicking on the blank space to the right of the toolbar and selecting Customize.

Tab Toolbar

The Tab Toolbar is an optional tool bar that you can use to execute internal or external commands, aliases, or batch files with the click of a mouse (or an accelerator key). You can define up to 50 tab toolbar buttons.

To create buttons for the tab toolbar, select Configure Tab Toolbar from the Options menu. This selection displays the tool bar dialog. You can also configure the tab toolbar from TCC with the TCTOOLBAR command.
