Toolbars for Buttons
 
In zMUD it was possible to have button toolbar panels on the Top, Left, Right, or Bottom of a given window.

In CMUD I would expect it to be possible as well, and in fact i know its so because converting the .MUD file created it (buttons on the right side panel).

However, I cannot find out how to make a button from scratch and have it appear anywhere but on the Top toolbar panel of the main window.

Am i missing an option somewhere?

Yep, missing things same as I was. You need to specify where each toolbar is, as well as specifying which buttons appear on which toolbar. It's in an odd place (imho) and took me a while to find.

Standard Button Properties


Module Preferences

Gah, i ment in and was messing around, and my buttons jumped from my main window up into the child window.
Granted, it fixed itself after i restarted CMUD, but still.

Another thing, in the button options, you can set the button to be on a toolbar higher then 4 or less than 1. Was this intentional? I cant see much use for a button thats on a toolbar that doent exsist...

Also... the defaults for toolbar positions on a child window has 2-4 set to 'None' instead of 'Top' like the main window defaults to. An oversite maybe?

Think we're on the same wavelength, heh

Toolbars > 4 not supported, it's just a hangover from zMUD
Not sure about the 'None' thing, maybe Zugg can answer. Perhaps buttons will be able to float later on? Dunno

I've seen similar stuff with the buttons jumping into child windows, but was never able to recreate it - I'd try again now that you've reminded me if I didn't have a shedload of exams this week. If you can find a way to do that consistently then post back how so it can be fixed ;)

Interresting stuff... but how exactly do you stick the buttons into the status window?
I can see how that would be quite useful for buttons i dont need to stare at constantly.
