Users have been asking for custom Menus, this is a way to easily do it. Download a Resource Editor http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/Open bbw64.exe (make backup first) Double click RCData go down to TBANDWINDOW and click highlight some text in right hand window ctrl+F type Help then press enter just above object Help: TMenuItem hit enter to create empty line copy all the text starting on the line below Code: from the very left. then paste on empty line in editor press the green play arrow at the top If you have not made a backup of bbw64.exe then File > Save As 'bbw64-Track.exe' else just Save (this will create a backup also) and any shortcuts will still work. Use ctrl+F to search for and menu item you want to copy to a new menu. Like Unfold search "BIG chorus" object MenuItemID221: TMenuItem
Tag = 221
Caption = 'Unf&old (convert to 1 BIG chorus)'
end
then add your menu name object TrackMenuItemID221: TMenuItem
Tag = 221
Caption = 'Unf&old (convert to 1 BIG chorus)'
end
This will give a divider line object TMenuItem
Caption = '-'
endThis will give a Sub Menu (see pic below) object TrackSubMenu: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Sub Menu'
object TrackSubItem1: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Item 1'
end
end This is just an example Menu, you can create a new menu using any other menu items from other menus to give quick access rather than going deep into menus. The objects just need a unique name so if you use object EditCopyTrack: TMenuItem from the Edit menu you just need to add the new menu name in front object TrackEditCopyTrack: TMenuItemalt+R will access menu from keyboard "T &rack" the &r. object Track: TMenuItem
Caption = 'T&rack'
object TrackEditCopyTrack: TMenuItem
Tag = 224
Caption = 'Copy/Move &Tracks...'
end
object TrackTrackSettings: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Track Settings and Actions...\t F7'
OnClick = EditTrackSettingsClick
end
object TMenuItem
Caption = '-'
end
object TrackRT_Assign: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Realtracks Picker Dialog'
OnClick = RT_AssignClick
end
object TrackRT_Prefs: TMenuItem
Caption = 'Realtracks Preferences'
OnClick = RT_PrefsClick
end
object TMenuItem
Caption = '-'
end
object TrackRD_Assign: TMenuItem
Caption = 'RealDrums Picker Dialog'
OnClick = RD_AssignClick
end
object TrackRD_Prefs: TMenuItem
Caption = 'RealDrums Preferences'
OnClick = RD_PrefsClick
end
object TrackRD_Quick: TMenuItem
Caption = 'RealDrums QuickList'
OnClick = RD_QuickClick
end
object TMenuItem
Caption = '-'
end
end
