All,
There was a lot of discussion on the TS forum last Saturday about being able
to reverse direction when moving through the bandstack registers. I was
playing around with it today and came up with a method for doing this using
a Shift+Click to go backwards through the register. Unfortunately, I did
not see a way to modify Eric's ThreadSafe Control class to make the mod in
only one place so it would have to be added to each band button click method
in console.cs. Here's an example for the 20 meter band button:
Unmodified code snippet from btnBand20_Click():
...
if(last_band.Equals("20M"))
band_20m_index = (band_20m_index+1)%band_20m_register;
...
Modified:
...
if(last_band.Equals("20M"))
//BT 9/4/05 Move down if shift key depressed with click
if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Shift) == Keys.Shift)
band_20m_index = (band_20m_index-1)%band_20m_register;
else
band_20m_index = (band_20m_index+1)%band_20m_register;
//original line
// Don't let the index go negative
if(band_20m_index < 0)
band_20m_index = 0;
...
Clicking the band button works as usual, doing a Shift+Click moves backwards
through the register. It stops at the bottom of the register, might be
worth a little more code to make it circular.
The code seems to work fine but I have not done any extensive testing.
