The project in this folder is here to show you how MacZoop is generally used to make real applications, as well as to show off some of the more advanced classes and dialog support.
This opens PICT files into a GWorld using ZGWorldWindows, so you can look at how graphics works. Drag/Drop is supported- try dragging PICT files or clippings into an open window. (Dragging from the window is not implemented here, though to do so would be simple).
ZGWorldWindow also illustrates the correct use of the palette manager and picture utilites package to make the best use of indexed-colour screens.
It also opens a number of dialogs based on ZDialog to show the different types. Dialog 1 is a moveable modal dialog featuring buttons, icons, PICTs, edit fields, user items, pop-up controls, 'ictb' resource usage and colour. Dialog 2 is a simple non-moveable modal dialog, and Dialog 3 is modeless dialog with fields, buttons and a user item. All of them are handled by the basic ZDialog class.
Version 1.8.2 improves a number of features in the demo:
Test Progress Dialog shows how the progress dialog looks and behaves. This simply loops 10,000 times updating the progress bar. This now displays "time remaining".
Scan Folder shows off the ZFolderScanner class- it allows you to pick a folder with a standard file dialog, then it uses a progress dialog to list every file in the folder hierarchy as it is encountered. It doesn't actually do anything with the files.
Test Notification... waits 5 seconds, then throws an exception. The 5 seconds gives you enough time to switch the app into the background- if you do so you'll see how the Notification operates.
You can now open several different standard window types, since New has been reorganised into a hierarchical menu.
Font and Style menus have been added so you can see how these operate when a text window is active.
The "modal" dialog demo shows how the password field flag option operates.
If you have installed Navigation Services, the demo will now use these new interfaces.
