- TBWINDO
-
- JUNE 22, 1987 - RELEASE 2.0
-
- There have be major changes from Rel. 1.0 to Rel. 2.0.
-
- The SNOCHK% variable has been completely eliminated. The assembly language
- routines were streamlined so that only one set of routines has to be used
- regardless of what kind of video adapter board you have.
-
- Windowing routines are now automatically multi-level. The MakeWindow
- procedure now saves only that portion of the screen affected and the
- RemoveWindow procedure serves to reverse that.
-
- Three additional window procedures have been added. ClearWindow - will
- clear only the window area. PrtWindow and PrtCWindow - Fast print
- routines that make use of the window coordinates established by the call
- to MakeWindow.
-
- The SaveScrn, RestScrn and Scroll procedures were eliminated. The two screen
- procedures were replaced with QRest and QSave. These procedures allow for
- partial screen saves. The scroll procedure was eliminated because I think
- most people don't use scrolling in a window, and if you do there are easier
- ways to accomplish it.
-
- AUGUST 5, 1987 - RELEASE 3.0
-
- Added the MakeMenu point and shoot type menu procedure.
-
- AUGUST 18, 1987 - RELEASE 3.1
-
- Added the WindowXY window relative locate procedure.
-
- SEPTEMBER 29, 1987 - RELEASE 3.2
-
- Added a DEFINT A-Z statement at the beginning of TBWINDO.INC to
- eliminate all those % signs.
-
- Redesigned the MakeMenu procedure. Decided I overthought the problem
- and simplified it. Now makes it easier to pop a window then a menu or
- pop from one menu to another menu etc. Watch you sharing of variables
- as this gets tricky. The TBMDEM32.BAS program is a short demo that will
- give you a rough template to follow. Thanks to Dave Weldon for making
- me rethink this.
-
- Enjoy......
