- Shazam and DLGDSN for Turbo Pascal with Turbo Vision
-
- Recently there have been several questions about Shazam and DLGDSN. The
- enclosed information about these programs was posted to comp.lang.pascal
- in Mid November 1992. At the end of this post is a list of FTP sites
- where these programs are available. Have fun. :-)

- DLGDSN - (C) David Baldwin
- An excellent dialog design toolkit that implements a WYSIWYG
- user-interface. You design the dialog on-screen, and once you are
- satisfied, select the 'Write Source' option.
- Allows the user to enter: Static Text, RadioButtons, Buttons,
- CheckBoxes, InputLines, Labels and ListBoxes.
- You can also set the help-context of each object, and the
- pointer names.
- The source-code also includes the DATAREC.
-
- * Dialog Boxes can be written directly to a resource file.
- * You can TRY the operation of the Dialog at any stage during
- the design process.
- * The 'Order Mode' allows you to set the order in which the
- user will Tab to each object.
-
- SHAZAM - (C) Jonathan Stein
- Complete application generator for Turbo Vision. Allows you
- to quickly and simply design and generate your user interface.
- Using this program is extremely simple, but the power that it
- provides is astronomical.
- All you are required to do is write a short .DEF (Definition)
- file,
- and SHAZAM will generate all the necessary code to create your
- application.
-
- * Using my 386, the total time to generate and compile using the /b
- (Build) compiler option, was ...... 12 secs!
- * When creating the .DEF file, you can design context-sensitive
- status
- lines, set hot-keys, design nested menus and even link in your
- custom written procedures.
- * By the way, SHAZAM also generates and compiles help text.
-
-
- TVHC - (C) Borland International
- Turbo Vision Help Compiler comes with the original TP6 Disks.
- Designed specifically to allow the programmer to write help
- text for applications.
- * Note: You don't have to recompile your program to change the
- help text, as this is compile and stored in a Stream.
