- Hi,
- I was wondering if anybody out there has some more examples code
- for interfaces generated by Appmaker, with annotations where
- application specific code was inserted to make the program funtional.
- Are there by any chance internet sites, or BBSs that have a section
- dedicated to Appmaker stuff?
- In particular, it is possible to extend the functionality of Appmaker,
- so I was wondering if there are extension moduls available somewhere.
- What I am particularly looking for would be a custom control that
- lets you set a number (similar to the way you set the time in the
- general control panel) such that you have a edit box with a number
- and two arrows (up and down) such that when you click on the arrows
- the number will be incremented or decremented.
- The picture buttons and scroll bars that are placed in
- the middle of the window do not have automatic repetion.
- But the Trackcontrol that is called by both the scroll bar and
- the picture button routine allows passing of a function that
- will allow automatic repetition. And I did find the automatic
- repetion for the window scroll bars, and pasted it into
- the one for the scroll bars that were placed in the middle
- of the screen, thus managing to make them autorepeat scrolling.
- Now I just want a routine that rather than moving a thumb box,
- increases or decreases a number in a box.
- Also, can I somewhere set the minimal size of a window?
- At the moment, if you have a palette in the main window,
- you can shrink it so much that part of the pallette is covered up.
- Or alternatively,
- how can you put floating palettes in Appmaker generated code?
- Thanks,
- Thomas
