Well, I was trying to create an option under the Edit menu but I couldn't.

#setmenu(<menuName>,<itemType>[,<itemName>[,<command>]][,<location>]);

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu( "Edit", popup, "myOption", 5);
}
$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";

I need some help with this, can somebody provide me the right code to create an option called "myOption". It doesn't need to do anything. I'm just trying to understand how this works.
Thanks in advance.

it should be &Edit


<sub>myOption{
alert("this is a test","test" ,INFO);
}

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu( "&Edit", popup, "myOption", 5);
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption_test;";</sub>

Thanks for your reply. I have two questions:
What for is the '5' (4th parameter) in 'setmenu('? I just copied the line from another Macro.
And what about the line 'macroModules'.

If you read good the Macro Language documentation:
#setmenu(<menuName>,<itemType>[,<itemName>[,<command>]][,<location>]);
The '5' (4th parameter) is referer to <location>, this is the new item/entry possition in menu. (first is zero (0) and the default value is last (-1))

Line "macroModules" add your macro file/module to the list of macros in the Macro Extension panel in Preferences. This allow to user disable it.

I don't know why but we forget documented it.

Edited: Now already documented.

Thanks desga, I've read some of the Docs, but they somewhat dispersed, and I could not find simple examples on using this Macro language. Just definitions.
It would be great also if someone provides me a link with all those Global Variables that are part of the KM Interface. ie:_Config_General
This line is from the flashswitch file

setmenu("_Config_General",popup,"Flash Switcher",5);

Where I can find what '_Config_General' means, I know that is the menu, but where are those definitions?
BTW: I can not make to work the dummy 'myOption' option. Do I need to change the &Edit to &Editor? The file appears in my list of Macros.

Thanks again everybody.

All default menus are defined in menus.cfg file that you can found in K-Meleon\defaults\settings folder. Read about menus.cfg in config files documentation.

In this case '_Config_General' is like above case the menu name, but in this case this seems a macro defined menu (not a default menu name). Above this line in the code you must find other setmenu() line to define '_Config_General' menu.

setmenu("_Config_General",popup,"Flash Switcher",5);
Define a popup menu named "Flash Switcher" in the menu named "_Config_General".

All default menu names are defined in english (translations are transparent).
"&Edit" is the "Edit" (Editar) menu for all localizations in macros but is showed translated in GUI menu. By this way your macro work in all localizations.

i think the toolbar images at the bottom of the wiki are a little bit out of date.
ie toolbar=ie
kmeleon default toolbar= also ie

kinda reminds me of this review: (check the snapshots on the right)

Hey cool:

#setmenu(<menuName>,<itemType>[,<itemName>[,<command>]][,<location>]);

myOption{
alert("this is a test","test" ,INFO);
}

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu( "&Edit", macro, "myOption",myOption, -1);
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption;";

I used 'macro' as a 2nd parameter in function 'setmenu'. I don't know if that is correct, but the code works.

Better:

#setmenu(<menuName>,<itemType>[,<itemName>[,<command>]][,<location>]);

myOption{
alert("this is a test","test" ,INFO);
}

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&Edit",popup,"Hey",-1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "myOption",myOption, -1);
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption;";

Yes it's, "macro" is for macro called, "popup" is for create a submenu in a menu.
You need read again the documentation about setmenu() macro function.

K-Meleon comes from an MFC based IEembed example for VC6.

This was later used by Mozilla project. You can still find

./Mozilla/embedding/tests/mfcembed/Mfcembed.cpp


K-Meleon/src/Mfcembed.cpp the name is still used

No, that's wrong. It has nothing to do with the preferences panel. It's for macros only.

No, it's documented in the Macro Coding Guidelines.

Removed. This is not a feature of the macro language itself, it's just a feature of the framework provided by the default macros.

OK, I'm sorry, I didn't remember Macro Coding Guidelines.

I'm must be doing something wrong, please help me:

myOption{
alert("this is a test","test" ,INFO);
}

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&Edit",popup,"Hey",-1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option1",myOption, -1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option2",myOption, -1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option3",myOption, -1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option4",myOption, -1);

}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption;";

I was trying to get different options, but all of them do the same Alert. I only get 'option4'

Thanks.

Add:
I want all the options to trigger the same Alert. But I only get one 'option' menu.

@ Slayer

I don't think the macro language likes it when you have multiple items calling the same macro. I added three more and it seems to work.

_myOption1{
alert("this is a test1","test" ,INFO);
}

_myOption2{
alert("this is a test2","test" ,INFO);
}

_myOption3{
alert("this is a test3","test" ,INFO);
}

_myOption4{
alert("this is a test4","test" ,INFO);
}
myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&Edit",popup,"Hey",-1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option1", _myOption1, 1);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option2", _myOption2, 2);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option3", _myOption3, 0);
setmenu( "Hey", macro, "Option4", _myOption4, 3);

}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption;";

Menus and buttons are diferenced by K-Meleon to command/macro (not by name), if K-Meleon macro found some button/menus items with identical command/macro for K-Meleon maro are the same button/menu entry and only one is showed.
(K-Meleon considered that duplicated is stupid and I too)

My original idea was not to trigger the same command, but reducing the code, using a loop. Since all the menus were calling a similar Procedure.

This code uses the $ARG statement. The code is smaller. You can make choice of what action to take based on value of $_opt.

_myOption{
$_opt = $ARG ;
alert("This is the choice. " .$_opt, "test", INFO);
}

myOption_BuildMenu{
setmenu("&Edit",popup,"Hey",-1);
setmenu( "Hey","macro","Option1","_myOption(1)");
setmenu( "Hey","macro","Option2","_myOption(2)");
setmenu( "Hey","macro","Option3","_myOption(3)");
setmenu( "Hey","macro","Option4","_myOption(4)");
}

$OnInit=$OnInit."myOption_BuildMenu;";
$macroModules=$macroModules."myOption;";

That's excellent! Thanks. Is like working with arrays.
