Getting rid of TB2K patching
I know a little bit of the history behind this. But years have passed by, Could we make another approach to Jordan Russell to ask for permission to use his TB2K code freely. I am sure he is not making any money from this.
I vote for this! I purchased a license of both TBX and Sp last year when I started using this, but obviously not dealing with the patching would be fantastic.
That would be ideal. I asked Jordan about this a couple years back with no luck.
How about asking one more time. If he wants money, I could contribute some.
Message from Jordan:
Sorry for the delay.
Indeed the project hasn't been updated in ages, and years ago I actually
did intend to switch it to the "zlib" license like Toolbar97, but didn't
get around to it and then kind of forgot about it.
I won't be able to work on this in the very near future, but at some
point I will look into uploading the code into a GitHub repository under
a new license, which you could then fork and modify as needed, and if
appropriate, submit pull requests.
I've just needed to made a minor change to Tb2Item.pas, changed the _tbDropdownComboArrowWidth constant to global variable, so that I can customize the width of the little dropdown arrow button on the right side of a split toolbar button.
Now I wish we have a public repo for Toolbar 2000 so that I can commit my changes.
After so many years of using all the VCL UI control libraries, I must say Toolbar 2000 + SpTbxLib is the best menu/toolbar control set.
Hi, everyone, I'd like you have a look at https://github.com/plashenkov/Toolbar2000 if they can do it, why not you?
just a hint, I'm not too familiar with these licenses
