How to Create `Advance Clickable Buttons` on CMD with Mouse Hover Enabled | Button Function 2.0 By Gls
Today, In this article - I'm gonna share with you my New creation in the field of Batch Programming. This will definitely help you in making your batch programs much more simpler and Advanced. In the previous project, Speecher - A Pro Text-to-Speech Engine in Batch | By PaperTronics - When PaperTronics and I were talking on the Email about few problems related to the working of the project. I Personally analyzed few things from his genuine questions related to the usage and syntax of the Button function 1.0.
I Noticed that, The Implementation is quite smart in Button function 1.0 - But, The usage for the End User (i.e. Main Programmer) is quite difficult. Although, this method provides a lot of flexibility to them. But, in a way - this one doesn't seems to be efficient way of achieving the goal of displaying Button. because, User (i.e. Main Programmer) need to first generate the code for the button and then has to fit it into the console using another line of code (by calling Batbox plugin).
The main Problem arises, when They have to write the code to check for the button click. Because, It makes is Very Difficult for the programmers to calculate the length of the button and then, Write according to that. More the buttons on the console, more will be the mess in the main code. So, To reduce this mess. And, Taking the Batch programming to a new level. I started working on the Button function version 2.0, And Just because - We Also have The Ultimate - GetInput Plugin By Aacini. I Decided to also enhance the output by enabling the Mouse Hover. So, Lets Talk more about this new Button Function Version 2.0 By Gls.

How to use it?
The Usage of this version 2.0 of Button Function is quite similar to the version 1.0. But, Not exactly Same. As you have read above, we’ve removed the unnecessary parameters from the syntax. So, we are afraid that you can’t directly replace button function v.1.0 with 2.0 in you projects – unless you do a little change in them. But, You don’t need to change them completely – so Don’t afraid. 😇
