Title: Command Line options
Post by: esajesa on September 23, 2004, 04:54:39 pm

Hi,

I've been searching like a mad man, but I simply can't find any documentation on command line switches for MC.. Where can I find them?

Cheers,
Jens

Cool, thanks.. perhaps you could help me with this as well:

I'm trying to rip a cd from a command line, so I enter:

mjextman /MCC 23001

This gets me as far as to all I need to do is to press the Rip button. I don't want to do that though, I just want the ripping to start straight away. How could I do this? I was thinking about perhaps sending a keystroke or something, but I don't know which keystroke to send. Enter doesn't seem to do it.

Ripping like that isn't really a supported thing, so you'll have to hack something together yourself.  There's no guarantee that future changes we make won't break it though.

What do you need this for?  Maybe there's an easier solution.

This is neat, didn't know about them. I just built a small control box to control MC!

Question: What happens if I load both MC10 and 11? Which does mjextman send commands to? Or, does it just confuse the heck out of it?

The spacebar is a keyboard shortcut IF the desired button has focus...on most apps anyways. You can use the Tab key to shift focus. Alt 32 will put a space in a line of text but is context sensitive...that is... it won't "push" the button like the spacebar does...nor can you shift focus using Tab code of Alt 09.

The RIP button just won't get focus if I press Tab. Don't know what libraries that are used for writing MC; seems to me it's not the standard windows libraries though? (The interface proabably wouldn't be skinnable then would it?)

I'm not a programmer myself really, but I hope my conclusion is at least near to the truth!  ;D
