CDMenuProCDMenuPro is a software tool for creating individual menu applications with graphically illustrated user interfaces. You or the user can use the menu to start programs and documents with buttons.
Your time is preciousInvest your time in the creative design of your menu rather than learning how to use a difficult-to-use software application or spending hours reading a manual.
Creative menu designLet your imagination run wild. With the help of background images and bitmap action buttons, the menu designer has complete control over how the graphically illustrated user interface will look. Frameless windows without Windows title bars are also incredibly easy to create.
CDMenuPro is easy to useCDMenuPro uses drag-&-drop to enable you to drag menu objects such as buttons, List boxes, texts, text fields and pop-up menus from the object bar into the Menu Window. Then all you do is link these objects to your documents or programs. Absolutely no programming knowledge is necessary.
Visual EditorUsing the Visual Editor, you can create your own individual menu interface in no time at all. Making documents or programs start automatically is child's play. CDMenuPro creates all the files needed to make autostart possible. You can create your own buttons using your graphics software or with CDMenuPro's very own Buttoncreator (included).
Starting documentsAny registered document type (Html, PPT, PPS, XLS, DOC, TXT,...) can be linked to the buttons. Indeed, CDMenuPro is even able to find the right viewer or reader to enable the user to see the file. The Business Edition also comes complete with a starter program for PowerPoint and Pdf files, which searches the target system for these programs and offers to install the PowerPoint viewer or Acrobat Reader should these not be available.
Starting programsAny executable program (exe, bat) can be linked with the buttons. A line containing run-time parameters can also be handed over with each program cue.
TrailerCDMenuPro also makes it possible for your to design your own individual splash screen and/or AVI video trailer to provider your users with introductory information about the CD. You can also include background music.
Multimedia characteristicsIn addition to this, the integrated Soundplayer and AVI Videoplayer enable you to link any button with a wav, mid, or avi file. Other multimedia files can be played on the Windows Media-Player program.
Drive and program iconsA bitmap converter will help you to create your own icon, which can be used as a drive and/or program icon. A tutorial on how to create an icon is included.
CDMenuPro as a front-end programOf course, CDMenuPro is not solely attached to the autostart function. It can also be used for floppy discs, as a front-end program or as a desktop menu.
No software-specific runtime modules neededUsers of CDMenuPro will also benefit from the fact that it does not need its own runtime modules, DLLs and the like. CDMenuPro makes no changes to registry files or other system and/or Ini files. This means that CDMenuPro does not have to be installed on the target system.
AutoplayThe autoplay or autorun feature of the 32 bit Windows operating system makes it possible to start a program automatically when a CD or DVD is put into the CD ROM drive.
User-friendly CDTake advantage of this autoplay feature to create a professional start for your CD. Offer your users a clear and concise menu interface that provides information about what the CD is about, what's on the CD and copyright details, as well as presenting a wide range of clear actions.
