- Controlling Workbench From Scripit
- ----------------------------------
-
-
- In order to have Scripit control Workbench, there are a couple of things you
- must do:
-
- 1. Copy the 'XitLoadWB' file to your C: directory.
-
- 2. Change the line in your s:startup-sequence that says 'LoadWB' to
- 'XitLoadWB'.
-
- Now, the next time you reboot, XitLoadWB will take over the loading of
- Workbench itself, (i.e. the 'LoadWB' line will not be needed since it will
- be run by ScripitLoadWB.) You still need LoadWB in your C: directory, though.
- What this program does is to hook itself to WB after loading it, and
- becomes an interface between Scripit and WB, receiving commands from Scripit
- and telling Workbench what to do.
-
-
- With the Scripit WB commands, you do not need to 'SELECT' the Workbench
- window, all WB commands will automatically do that, and will restore
- the previously selected window.
-
-
- The following is a list of the Scripit WB Commands:
-
-
-
- Workbench Commands: For use with Workbench only
- ------------------------------------------------
-
- WB SELECT <icon>
-
- Selects (single-clicks) a Workbench icon.
- (Will automatically deselect any icons previously selected.)
-
- WB OPEN <icon>
-
- Opens (double-clicks) a Workbench icon. This will open a
- drawer's window, or invoke a tool or project.
- (Will automatically deselect any icons previously selected.)
-
- WB CLOSE <drawer>
-
- Closes a Workbench drawer.
-
- WB DESELECT Deselects all icons.
-
- WB SHIFTSELECT <icon_1> <icon_2> ..... <icon_N>
-
- Shift-selects a list of icons.
-
- WB SHIFTOPEN <icon_1> <icon_2> ..... <icon_N>
-
- Shift-selects a list of icons, and shift-double-clicks on
- the last icon in the list.
-
- WB SNAPSHOT This will 'Snapshot' the currently selected icons. Use either
- the 'WB SELECT' command to select the icon, or the
- 'WB SHIFTSELECT' command to select multiple icons, then issue
- this command.
-
- WB CLEANUP This will 'Clean Up' the currently selected drawer.
-
- WB REDRAW This will 'Redraw' the Workbench screen.
-
- WB INFO This will bring up the 'Info' window about the select icon.
-
- WB MENU <menu> <item>
-
- Simulates selecting the specified menu/menuitem. e.g.
- WB MENU Disk "Empty Trash" will trigger the Empty Trash menu.
-
- WB DRAG <icon> <move_x> <move_y> <steps>
-
- Drags the WB icon by the specified x,y coordinates.
- (x & y can be either positive or negative)
- Specifying <steps> will make the drag smoother by showing
- the icon actually moving. The number of steps is the number
- of times the icon will be display on route. (I find that
- 20 to 30 steps are good for long moves.)
-
- WB DRAGTO <icon> <destination_x> <destination_y> <steps>
-
- Drags the WB icon to the specified x,y coordinates.
- (x & y can only be positive.)
-
- WB DRAGOVER <icon1> <icon2> <steps>
-
- Drags icon1 and moves it on top of icon2. This will achieve
- different results based on what icon1 and icon2 are.
- (e.g. copy disk or move icon into drawer)
