I have this tool but i'm not able to to configure it.
Is it possible to change icon to the toolbar button for this user-defined tool?

You cannot change toolbar buttons unless you hack the TextPad.exe file, and that may be against the license...

Anyway I see you've got my tool :D

My program works by (1) finding a macro on the macro toolbar and then (2) sending automated keystrokes to run the macro.

What specific problems do you have? I'll try to help best I can; however, I only have an English version of TextPad for testing...

Can you show specifics of how you have your Tool configured, and explain what you are trying to do with it?

Right-click on the toolbar, select Customize

Under Commands, select Macros. then UUUUUPS.
(I wanted to add - drag your macro to the toolbar, but there are only the commands to record a macro)

Seems like Textpad does not (yet) support Macros on Toolbars...

1) Write down the name of the macro.
2) Configure > Preferences > Tools > Add > Program
3) Point it to "Macro Toolbar.exe" > Apply
4) Configure the tool:
Parameter: is the name of the macro in quotes.
Initial Folder: $FileDir

5) View > Toolbars > Customize > add the tool icon/button

Hope that helps

Notes: Whenever you start a new instance of TextPad, you may have to click on the Macros menu at least once in order for the toolbar button to work. (It appears TextPad does not parse the list of available macros until you click the Macros menu.)

CrisCia, try http://students.cec.wustl.edu/~plg1/Mac ... talian.exe

Italian and English versions of TextPad were different.... I hope I fixed the problem.

look at Configura > Strumenti > Preferenze
If you only see one tool, delete it, and create the tool again.
(Maybe you created three other tools before and deleted them, but TextPad did not re-number tool #4.)
