What Menu Items Do You Use Most Of All ?

PG Music Home

Rather than navigating menus you can add the most used items into the BB Quick Menu.
If you are running Biab As Administrator:
To run script only .ahk install https://www.autohotkey.com/ and set AutoHotKey.exe to Run As Administrator

Let me know what actions you need and I will give you the function code.
You have the text name up the top that runs the associated function below.
You can change the font size and color as well as the background color.
The script can be compiled to an exe when you have all the functions you need.

Copy the code and paste into Notepad then save as BB Quick Menu.ahk

Is there a way to code the following key strokes that I use a lot of times?

It has to do with changing song folders as I have quite a few of them.

Here are my key strokes that I do with the mouse for scenario #1 which is when I am opening up songs in the Home Folder and want to go to another folder but not change the folder I am going to, to the home folder.

1. Song
2. Change
3. Choose Folder
4. Click the > next to the hard drive to open up the folder tree

jcland

Try this:
Top

Code:

Gui, Add, Text, cBlack gSongFolderChoose, Choose Song Folder

Function

Code:

SongFolderChoose:
Winactivate, ahk_class TBandWindow
Send, ^{F3}
WinWait, ahk_class TSongzDialog
Winactivate, ahk_class TSongzDialog
CoordMode, Mouse, Relative
MouseClick, left, 50, 105
Send, {DOWN 6}
Send, {Enter}
return

This one has Tabs, just put your text under the tab you want it on,
Gui, Tab, 1
here

Gui, Tab, 2
here

Gui, Tab, 3
or here

and as usual all the function at the bottom.

This will adjust the vertical size 180:
Gui, Add, Tab, x2 y180 h20 w200 AltSubmit gTab vTab

Code

Click to reveal..

Code:

;Insert Color here like HEX 00C222
TabColors_Tab1=C0C0C0
TabColors_Tab2=C29200
TabColors_Tab3=000000
