EASIER TO OPEN EXCEL FILES

We have added a new button command to CD-Menu Creator that makes it easier to open Excel files from menu interfaces. The name of the command is Open Excel File, and it gives you more control when you open Excel files. You can for example send special parameters to Excel when the Excel file is opened.

This new command is available in CD-Menu Creator 2015 version 8.0.8 and later. If you have an older version of CD-Menu Creator you can upgrade to the latest version of the tool from this order page.

WHICH VIDEO FORMATS DOES CD-MENU CREATOR SUPPORT?

In CD-Menu Creator you can add a video clip or a movie to a menu interface. You can show the video directly in a menu window, or you can show the video in a separate window that is opened when the end-user clicks on a menu button.

Using a video in a menu interface may improve the end-user´s first impression of your product, but when you select a video to a menu you should be aware of that not all video formats and CODECS are supported by CD-Menu Creator or by the system, as default.

We will give you more information in this blog post:

HOW TO MAKE A MENU ALWAYS STAY ON THE TOP

When a user opens a menu interface created with CD-Menu Creator, the menu interface will only stay on the top (above other windows) as long as the user does not click on another window or does not activate another program via Windows’ task bar. However, there is an option in CD-Menu Creator that you can use to assure that the menu window is always on the top, also if the user clicks on another window or activates another program. We will explain more in this blog post:

HOW TO VIEW SOURCE PATHS OF FILES IN VISUAL INSTALLER

As default, source paths for files in the file list are not shown in Visual Installer, but it is easy to turn on a setting, so source file paths will be shown in the editor.
