- DOC file for LBARGEN.ARC
-
- This is a Turbo Pascal program to write the code for dBase III Plus
- lite bar menus as shown in Bob DuCharme's LBARMENU.PRG. I changed the
- program flow a little bit in hopes of speeding it up.
-
- Now how it works...
-
- Run LBARGEN. You will be prompted FOR:
- 1. The name of the dBase command file.
- Enter up to eight characters for the file name (do not add .PRG).
-
- 2. The title for the menu screen.
-
- 3. If a procedure file is associated with this menu and the name
- of the procedure file.
-
- 4. Number of menu items - enter any number up to twenty.
-
- 5. The lines that will appear on your menu.
-
- 6. Next you will see the same number of smaller prompts for the
- command files or procedures each menu item will call:
-
- [Accounts Receivable Menu________________] [ACCTSREC]
- [Order Entry Menu________________________] [ORDENTER]
- [________________________________________] [________]
- [________________________________________] [________]
- [________________________________________] [________]
- [________________________________________] [________]
-
- If less than ten menu items are used the menu will appear double
- spaced otherwise it will be single spaced. The program will add the
- last menu selection as [X] Exit and will, when selected, issue the
- dBase command RETURN. This will allow you to build a tree structure
- of menus that will return to the next higher level each time [X] is
- selected.
-
- When you have filled in all of the blanks, the program will generate the
- code for your menu.
