I am getting close on having this concept complete. I have used AutoIt ver 3 to construct an executable that can be called from the macro language. The user's choice is passed back to the macro language via the registry. I am just finishing up the readme stuff and the demo macro.

Question that I have is how to get this information to users. I can provide the macro and the script for AutoIt, but then each user who wishes to use this would have to download and install AutoIt for themselves. If I knew where to put the executable, then I could just provide directions on how to get it. I don't know which method would be best.

And if that question is not enough, I think different operatings systems require different compilers for AutoIt scripts. That would mean two different executables.

This sounds like something that an extension could do, but I have no experience with making them.

I am open to suggestions or advice on this.

I can help you! Send me it by mail and i make an extension an upload it to my website.
Only one executable for windows is needed, what other systems do you like compiler?

I have the files compressed into a 7z file on my website. The link to the 7z file is http://www.perigee.net/~jmd8421r/KMListBox.7z

Extract into the user macro folder and it should work.

This is a first try and a very simple demo. Look for the item "KMListBox" under the HELP menu.

@desga2

This may be all that is needed. If you would like to put it into an extension, that is just fine with me.

I tried it and works fine in 1.5.

If you like send me by mail the autoit3 source code and i can add some implementations to better it.

I think that an extension isn't needed because this is more a helper to develop others macros more than an extension tool.

P.S.; Nice photos in your site.

@ JamesD:
Thanks! I'm working on it.

I have updated KMListBox. It now has language support for the listbox control and has localizations for the macro. Everything is included in KMListBox.7z at http://www.perigee.net/~jmd8421r/KMListBox.7z

All the documentation is included in the KMListBox.htm file. Languages supported are English, French, Spanish, and German. There are easy instructions on how to support other languages. The source code for the KMListBox.exe file is also included.

Extract the contents of KMListBox.7z to your user macro folder.

Coming soon in this thread is an updated KMListBox system. The links in the prior postings are no good. That was some space on the server from my previous ISP.

After weeks of looking, I finally found, on a CD-ROM, a copy of the code for the external list box and also the macro code needed to use it.

That dates from 2008 so some work is needed to make it work smoothly with the current versions of K-Meleon.

Back in 2008 I had only some of the languages that KM supports today. I need some help to verify my translations and add files for Russian and Chinese.

I have here the language files used by the KMListBox.exe program. Each is only three lines and must be encoded in UTF-8-BOM.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1522294/KMlbLanguage.7z

I am requesting that those who have the language skills which I lack, please update/add to these files. I can make the files, if you can just post the corrected work in this thread.

cannot download the full extension package - the link looks like being for members only.

I should see ListBox in action to make correct translation even for these frugal strings...

This is a good link for the original work.

It looks like this:

Change made. Thanks.

Looks like I was not even close back in 2008.

I have been doing some more testing and I have determined that one can safely display choices which are up to 120 characters in length. Longer choices will write outside the selected choice display area. The following picture is of a choice containing 120 characters.

Only a little more than 60 characters appear in the selection stack, but if highlighted, the full 120 characters appear in the selected choice display area.

The new line symbol, \n, can be used to force a line break.



This is available in the original KMListBox.exe file. I have no present plans to change the executable.

I had forgotten the old demo kmm file. I will add this info into it as an update, I think.

I am working on a new demo and new method for language change. From KM 75.1 and later, I hope the language selection will be automatic.

Thank you very much for the translation.

I am making good progress on the new version of KMListBox. However, I just realized that I have not asked for review/update of the translation files for French and German.

I did the translation work at Yahoo Babel Fish in 2008. Experience has taught me that doing this kind of translation online does not yield good results. JohnHell, rodocop, and Chanson Yu have provided new code for Spanish, Russian, and Chinese so I am asking if someone can review and update the code below.

Just post your replies in this thread. Thanks.

Thank you.

I believe this was the last piece that I needed.

The version 2 of KMListBox has been posted in the Extensions forum.

I offer my thanks to everyone who helped.
