Firstly, do you mean windows, or did you mean tabs? I noticed that help
topic "toolbardlg.htm" uses "window" in many places where "tab" should be
used. Regardless, the description of "command" tells you that the command
should explicitly specify the program to be run in the new tab. Did you
specify TCC.EXE?

I mean exactly what I wrote. I want to launch a console application (by referring to a bat file that launches it) IN A TAB, and reading the helpfile isn't of much help, since it claims that tabs will be launched. Reading further:
WOW, wait a second, no more mentioning how to launch it in a tab???? It wans't mentioned that it will launch in a window now! And why the heck would I ever WANT it to launch in a window, when I use TC??? I can use windows shortcuts to do that.
Another related thing: I'm almost sure that I was able to launch a few tabs with my application on startup once, but now I'm not anymore? ....or maybe that was with the older TC i downloaded...?
Also there's a bug in the tab-toolbar. If I had previously selected an .ico and removed it afterwards wanting to show text instead, the text does not appear.
...OMFG, WHEN WILL YOU STOP THE ANTISPAM PROCEDURES????? THEY ARE REAAAAAAALLLLYYY ANNOYING!!!!!

I have a problem with the phrase "tab window". Tabs and windows are not the
same. For each instance of TCMD there is only one visible window, regardless
of how many tabs are open in that window, or how many of the objects that
Microsoft calls "window" TCMD must deal with to run the display. Each
stand-alone textual or graphical program instance is displayed in a single
window (ignoring pop-ups). There is a major visual distinction between
windows and TCMD tabs. The mechanism a TCMD user needs to create a new tab
or a new window may be identical, but the concepts are different. IMHO the
menu should be changed to indicate "start new tab/window" and HELP should
indicate
1/ starting a graphical program is always in a new window
2/ how to start a new text-mode program in a new tab
3/ how to start a new text-mode program in a new window

That's what I was referring to as the "Microsft terminology". As far as the
ordinary user is concerned, and here I include myself, but probably should
exclude Vince, TCMD has just one window, which is either minimized or not,
and if not minimized, is visible unless either occluded by another program's
window, or moved to an off-screen area. All those other objects you and MS
calls windows, and the manipulation of which requires the bulk of TCMD's
code, are just internal parts of TCMD. I'd compare it with an automobile
engine - for most it's just "an engine", until something goes wrong, and
even when you go to the mechanic, most people don't know anything about its
details to understand what they are told is faulty.
TCMD users are more sophisticated than the ordinary user - or they would not
have spent money or energy to obtain it. They do understand about the
difference between tabs and independent windows. I know you have spent
thousands of hours to develop their mechanics. Regardless, as a user I don't
care how many visible or invisible windows TCMD must deal with for each tab.
I don't care whether or not their content is updated when not visible. All I
care about is that which is visible, including controlling which program's
operation is currently visible.
For this reason I recommend a strict distinction between panes, tabs, and
windows in the documentation. The term "window" ought to be used only for
objects the user can directly manipulate with mouse or keyboard, minimizing
or maximizing, moving, resizing, closing, etc. I think it would reduce the
number of support requests, whether by direct call or by posts in this NG.

Okay, so where can I register .bat files to launch with TC? They appearently don't have an "Open with" option as other filetypes. Also, why is this even nessesary, since it wasn't in TCI 2?
I'm annoyed by your anti-spam procedures... First of all registering:
1 Enter content of a scrabled image
2 Enter a verification text
3 Activate a mail
AND!
4 Wait for moderator to accept registration
Most places uses 1 and 3 which seem to work pretty good, but there's NO reason to use *all* possible anti-spam methods!
The worst of all, I just got in one of my initial posts where I quoted something that contained "htm", which the spam-engine detected as a webpage and disallowed me to post it before I had made at least 5 posts! It's rediculous!!!!

Since you're a new user, you haven't seen the spam problems that were
caused by people manually following the registrations and then
spamming the group. I understand that it's a frustrating procedure,
but the previous one (using 1 and 3) did not in fact work well at all
here.

It's already been answered -- either configure Windows by running
TCCBATCH, or set the COMSPEC option in the "Configure Take Command /
Tabs" dialog.
(It probably worked in TCI because you'd set the COMSPEC option there.)

Sorry, I missed that...
Now it opens up as a TC window, I still can't get eigher my buttons or startup tabs to launch as tabs instead of windows.
I know for sure that I haven't set it up, so IF it were set, it was done by installation.
Another thing: Is tccbatch.btm only available for TC - not TCLite?

Perhaps I'm not understanding your problem, so please educate me if I
misunderstand.
I made a batch file called test.bat that changes drives and folders to
where a custom program resides. I think this is similar to what you
are trying to do.
I clicked Options \ Configure Tab Toolbar...
I selected an empty tool box.
I set the button label to "Test"
I selected "Send to the current tab"
I put the next line into the Command box, including all quotes just as-is.
"start /tab %comspec% /c d:\test.bat" enter
I Clicked OK to get back to the main window.
When I click the new "Test" tool, it does start a new tab with my
program running in the custom folder.
If this didn't solve your problem, because I've misunderstood, could
you please give detailed examples of each box to check, fill in, etc.,
and I'll try to reproduce your issue and give you the best advice I
can. Showing the contents of your batch file may help.
In reading some of your posts, it seems you want just the batch file
to run in a tab, but unlike programs, Windows itself can not run a
batch file. Batch files are always interpreted by a shell, like
CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM or 4NT.EXE or TCC.EXE or other available
choices.
In the past, when you were already running a shell like 4NT, you can
then type in the name of a batch file. Since your shell knows what to
do when a batch file name is given, the shell then interprets the
commands in the batch file and you got what you want. When you use
Windows Explorer and double-click a batch file you'll see that it
instead launches CMD.EXE in a box. Try making a batch file that just
says PAUSE and you'll see what I mean.
Just like Windows can only run programs, TCMD needs some program
running in each tab. If you want your batch file to be interpreted by
a shell, as in the past, use the method I've shown here and others
have shown or hinted at, and it will do just what has always been
done.
I hope I've helped.

What is the problem? Do you have a batch file that works correctly if you enter its name with the keyboard in an existing tab.
If not, make one.
If you do, then several persons have said you to configure a tool bar button to start that batch file in a tab.
I put this in Command:
"start /tab %comspec% /c "C:\Documents and Settings\hewi\My Documents\Instanser-bin\RB0.bat"" 13
but I get error:
"A device attached to the system is not functioning. "AttachConsole""
I suspect I will run into problems if I try to launch a button with this command, and the current tab already has launched my application.
I noticed in TCI, that it has a "Start new tab" option. That makes sense if you ask me, instead of these weird hacks.
Also, if I specify my batch file in Properties > Tabs in the tabs, they open up as windows, but appearently through TCC shell. Quite odd, right???
Oh yeah, it's almost not buggy... It strips quotes and disregards if the path contains spaces, which ultimatively results in error.
As a GUI side-note, it's illogical that theres no link to the tab toolbar properties when you rightclick a button.

No idea what Google Chrome is. I use Firefox as my browser, wherein there is
a strict dichotomy of tabs and windows. Until the phrase appeared in this
thread, I had neither heard nor seen the phrase "tab window".
In my simpleminded logic a window is associated with either a tab-bar or a
system tray icon, and can be resized, moved, minimized, maximized, etc. The
window may be partially or fully occluded by other windows, and it may
occlude other windows. Multiple tabs may exist in a single window, each of
which can be closed without the window itself disappearing, unless the tab
manager has an option to close the window if no tab is active. In this
respect it is irrelevant what the association of programs running is to tabs
or windows.
Some programs I use divide a window into subwindows, and display different
objects therein. In such a case the whole window is still subject to the
same display rules, so that only one part of one subwindow is displayed due
to sizing.
In all of the above situations occlusion of one window by another does not
affect the arrangement of subwindows or tabs within the window.
Other definitions of windows, subwindows and tabs are conceivable. As one
who deals mostly with text, and only occasionally with images (mostly with
photographs) I have not used such programs.

Ah :-) You should give Google Chrome a try. It really mixes things up.
Basically, the topmost (outermost) part of the window frame is not a menu or
an array of buttons, but the tab bar. Every tab is self-contained with its
own tool bar and address bar, and tabs can be dragged from one frame to
another. If you pick up a tab and drop it in the middle of nowhere, it makes
a new frame for it on-the-fly.
It's very impressive :-)

toolbar
Ah :-) You should give Google Chrome a try. It really mixes things up.
Basically, the topmost (outermost) part of the window frame is not a menu or
an array of buttons, but the tab bar. Every tab is self-contained with its
own tool bar and address bar, and tabs can be dragged from one frame to
another. If you pick up a tab and drop it in the middle of nowhere, it makes
a new frame for it on-the-fly.
It's very impressive :-)
