Re-arranging Toolbar Buttons in TCC 11

[Joe Caverly]

Hi,
Over in the Support section of this Forum, I initiated a thread titled "Move Buttons Between Tabbed Toolbars".

Rex said this was not supported in the Tab Control at present, but said it will hopefully be available in a future version.

Until then, here is my solution for re-arranging the Toolbar Buttons. I have a bug in the program (see below), so if anyone can provide a solution to the bug, it would be appreciated.

Note that this was written for use with TCC 11.00.27.
Rex made some changes to the output of TCTOOLBAR, which this batch file takes into account, so it will not work with previous builds.

:: BTNSORT.BTM
::
:: PURPOSE: To sort the TCMD Buttons in the toolbar
::
:: NOTE: Since drag-and-drop sorting of buttons in the toolbar is not available yet,
::       this batch file will take a file, generated by doing a;
::
:: TCTOOLBAR /W unsorted.ini
::
::       allowing you to cut-and-paste the button lines in the unsorted.ini file,
::       using a plain text editor, such as NOTEPAD,
::       and then sorting the buttons to a file called SORTED.INI
::
:: BUGS: One of my buttons has a URL with part of the URL being;
::       all_projects.phpcpid=5c339ad2cf6f1c25ea664266bec482db
::
::       SETDOS is not my friend, because the = sign is causing me problems, in that the above line
::       is being written out as;
::
::       all_projects.php?cpid
::
:: So, BE CAREFUL, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, and CHECK THE SORTED.INI FILE BEFORE USING IT!
