- DESQview 2.2 API Tools
-
- Quarterdeck is developing a full set of tools to assist developers
- in creating DESQview-specific programs and workstations. The first
- six of these tools are:
-
-
- DESQview API Reference Manual
-
- This is the primary source of information about the DESQview API. It
- contains all you need to know to write assembly language programs
- that take full advantage of DESQview's capabilities. The Reference
- manual comes with an include file containing symbols and macros to
- aid you in development. AVAILABLE NOW!
-
-
- DESQview API C Library
-
- The DESQview API C Library provides C Language interfaces for the
- entire set of API functions. It supports the Lattice C, Metaware
- C, Microsoft C, and Turbo C compilers for all memory models. Included
- with the C Library package is a copy of the API Reference Manual and
- source code for the library. AVAILABLE NOW!
-
-
- DESQview API Pascal Library
-
- The DESQview API Pascal Library provides Pascal Language interfaces for the
- entire set of API functions. It supports the Turbo Pascal V4.0 and V5.0
- compilers. Included with the Pascal Library package is a copy of the
- API Reference Manual and source code for the library. AVAILABLE NOW!
-
-
- DESQview API Debugger
-
- The DESQview API Debugger is an interactive tool that enables the
- API programmer to trace and single step through API calls from several
- concurrently running DESQview-specific programs. Trace information
- is reported symbolically along with the program counter, registers,
- and stack at the time of the call. Trace conditions can be specified
- so that only those callls of interest are reported. AVAILABLE NOW!
-
-
- DESQview Panel Design Tool
-
- The DESQview Panel Design Tool is an interactive tool to aid you
- in designing windows, menus, help screens, error messages, and forms.
- It includes an editor that lets you construct an image of your panel
- using simple commands to enter, edit, copy, and move text as well
- as draw lines and boxes. You can then define the characteristics
- of the window that will contain the panel, such as its position, size,
- and title. Finally, you can specify the locations and types of fields
- in the panel.
-
- The Panel Design Tool automatically generates all the DESQview API data
- streams necessary to display and take input from your panel. These
- data streams may be grouped together into panel libraries and stored
- on disk or as part of your program. AVAILABLE NOW!
-
-
- DESQview Pulldown Menu Manager
-
- The DESQview Pulldown Menu Manager is an interactive tool to aid you in
- designing pulldown menus. This DESQview API tool assists you in giving
- your DOS program an OS/2-like look and feel.
