- BoilerPlate is a program which gets you started on a new OWL program by
- generating the appropriate boiler plate code. With BoilerPlate, you start
- by using Resource Workshop or WRT to design your primary resources (menu,
- accelerator, cursor, etc). BoilerPlate then uses the resource file (and
- additional information you supply) to generate code for your application
- and main window objects, skeleton methods for menu selections, window
- message handlers, etc. You'll be able to compile and run the code but
- until you flesh out the skeleton routines, it won't do much.
-
- Here's the files included in this package:
-
- BLRPLATE.EXE The main program
- BLRPLATE.HLP Its help file
-
- The following are data files which BoilerPlate needs
- SKEL.DAT Skeleton source file
- MESSAGES.DAT Info on wm_xxxx messages
- NOTIF.DAT Info on notification methods
- PROCS.DAT Info on OWL methods
-
- Two demo RES, INC files for experimentation
- TDLGW.RES A TDlgWindow demo
- TDLGW.INC Its include
- TWIND.RES A TWindow demo
- TWIND.INC Its Include
-
- BLRPLATE.DOC Doc file
- README This file
-
- Installation
-
- BLRPLATE.EXE, BLRPLATE.HLP, and all the .DAT file should be copied to a
- single directory. The remaining files are optional. To run BoilerPlate,
- use the File|Run command from Program Manager. You can also install
- BoilerPlate as an icon with Program Manager's File|New.
-
- The DOC file is formatted to print using the DOS COPY command. To print
- the docs, line up the paper in the printer so the top of the paper is
- just under the print head. From the DOS prompt:
-
- >COPY BLRPLATE.DOC PRN<enter>
-
- The use of BoilerPlate is free. However, if you find it useful, have
- suggestions, or find bugs, I'd like to hear from you. Future support,
- changes will probably depend on how useful it turns out to be.
-
- Source code for BoilerPlate is available for $20 (need not be sent in
- advance).
