type of extensions .TBR and .DLX

[berri2]

Hi all,

.TBR extension on NX is for NX customized toolbars I think.

And what is .DLX file extension for?

Thanks.

.dlx are the files created from using block styler to make your own dialogs.

Hi,

Which programs I need for creating .TBR and .DLX files?

Visual Studio?...

Thanks.

I believe the .dlx extension is also used for the "dialog memory" files. These files are created by NX as you use the software. When you interact with a dialog box and press OK, the values/options you used are written to a .dlx file so the next time you use the same dialog it fills out the values with those you last used.

@cowski, you're right, brain fart on my part, .dlg are the block styler files.
the .dlx are the dialog memory files.

Hi all thanks,

And .TBR files how can be done?

Thanks.

For .tbr files, I don't think you need anything more than a text editor. Search for "tbr" in the NX help for info and/or look at the ug_standard.tbr file for an example (in the UGII_BASE_DIR/UGII/menus directory), don't forget to make a backup copy before you modify it!

Toolbar files (those with a .tbr extension) are created manually. I'm not aware of any scheme or function which would create such a Toolbar file automatically. And while it is true that you can create an actual 'TOOLBAR' using the interactive Customize functionality, the result is NOT a .tbr file but rather as additions to an .mtx file which captures the changes and edits made to your menus and toolbars either by toggeling on/off toolbars, enabling/disabling the display of individual icons, or changes made using the Customize functions. These .mtx files are the basis for the system defined and user defined Roles.

Anyway, I hope that clears-up this issue.

Actually .dlg is the extension for user interface styler dialog files and the .dlx are for block styler dialog files.
