Easiest way to do that is with a mailto: URL ... you know, in Opera 12 if you click on a link mailto:someone@mailhost.whatever it'll open a Compose tab with the To: field filled in already.

Thanks & I have just done it ...............

opera:/button/mailto:myfriend@mail.com

This custom button came up but say external action & I put it in my button.

I open M2, compose , click this button...................... nothing happen & not insert myfriend@mail.com in the cc: field ( I click the button during in cc'ed field )

Any workaround ?

Thannk you very much.

A: Try opera:/button/Go%20to%20URL,"mailto:myfriend@mail.com"

B: A button which would insert a name in either the To or CC field would be Insert,"text" - but it would only work if focus was already there. Easier to just click To or CC and pick it from the list.

Thanks !

Unfortunate above not work .

I then tried : opera:/button/insert%20"myfriend@mail.com"

When I am in M2 in the to: field, click this button, it inserted myfriend@mail.com only in the mail body in stead of I am in the To Field when I click that.

Thank you very much.

Buttons can take focus away from the field, you may need to add a delay first to allow focus to pass back to the text field.

Delay, 10 & Insert, "myfriend@mail.com"

To make it into a URL, change all the spaces to %20 and add the opera:/button/ at the beginning.

opera:/button/Delay,%2010%20&%20Insert,%20"myfriend@mail.com"

The name for the button has to be on the first action (before the &) but for Opera to know what it is there must be 3 commas before it (the first one between Insert and the text to be inserted, then the other two.)

The button has a menu, by either long-clicking or dragging down you can show the menu (or by carefully clicking the little arrow, if present).

If you write a button with a + in it, the actions after the + will only be performed after a long click or a drag down. Standard buttons will follow that with Show popup menu, "menu name" or with Show hidden popup menu (no arrow), though Pesala was known for buttons that had other actions after the +.

item= insert, "Thank you very much. Best regards, Sales team"

I still can't figure out how to make this multi function dropdown button................

I can make button for single function but want to save space with a button with 3 to 4 multi functions.

Thank you very much.

NEW QUESTION

Opera v.xx

I have 2 USB standalone version installed onto the same Window 8 system

( Opera A & Opera B using the same installation .exe file )

I am fine to make button with Opera A by paste & go the make button command just onto the address bar.

But on Opera B , not accept. When paste & go onto address bar the make button commaand

Error say:

Invalid address

Check that the address is spelled correctly, or try searching for the site.

Search with Google

My button is like this ( which is accepted in Opera copy A ) opera:/button/delay,10,,S-E-N-D&Delay,%20600%20&%20Email%20Clear%20Formatting%20&%20Delay,%20200%20&%20Open%20Font%20Dialog%20&%20Dela............etc.

Why Opera copy B not accepted ? ( I make the button just paste & go onto the address bar )

I use the same command immediately paste & go in Opera A, it is okay to let me make custom button.

Hope there is a solution in where in Opera to adjust any setting.

Thank you very much.

IF I have my custom buttonss like this :

Button2, "Delay"=Delay, 10, , "D e l l" & Email Clear Formatting & Delay, 200 & Open Font Dialog & Delay, 600 & Focus next widget .......& Send mail & Delay, 600 & Send queued mail

Button2, "蘋果"=Go to page, "http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/open/footer/news/3626368/", 1

How I am to group them into single button ?

I have seen belows but just do not know how to make correctly in my situation :

Button0, 1325210100="New contact + Show popup menu, "New Contact Menu""

Please give me some hints so that I can puzzle around in my toolbar.ini

Thank you very much.
Edmond.

First, a button involving a "+" can only have 2 functions. And - being only one button - can only show one label. Any functions before the "+" are only executed on a simple click, functions after the "+" are executed on a long click. Really, that should be all you need to know - though I wouldn't put a function that includes a Delay after the "+" as the button may still be pressed.

Button0, Hello A=

"Go to page, "http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/open/footer/news/3626368/"

• Show popup menu,

"Email Clear Formatting & blah blah...& Send mail & Delay, 600 & Send queued mail""

Thank you
