- AIB ... public domain Amiga Interface Builder by Doug Dyer
- More fun for the whole family...
-
- --------------------------
- Hello World
-
- Hi. This was a project I did in about two weeks in '91. It was never
- finished, but it is successful in some things such as the menu
- construction. The reason for releasing this is so others have gadtools
- example source, and perhaps someone might want to finish it?
-
- I sortuv ran out of steam... and AIB sat in a drawer hidden away. The
- source code is real poor because this was just a learning experience and I
- added things as I went along.
-
- Really, the only thing yet to be done (other than generating source) is to
- generate gadtools in the window. I tried a purely gadtools driven interface
- for AIB which worked great for windows and menus, but because gadtools are
- so rigid, it was hard to think of a flexible enough interface. Ill leave it
- to you.
-

-
- --------------------------
- AIB and its uses
-
- AIB is a breeze to create windows/menus. Watch the "Sketchpad" window
- which is the developing application. As you build menus, etc., this
- window is reset with the new information.
-
- You may pick the user prefs fonts, or your own.
-
-
-
- --------------------------
- Compiling
-
- This source should compile using SAS C and the os2.04 includes without
- any fancy assigns, etc. Just type "lmk" in the source directory.
-
-
-
- --------------------------
- Bugs and whatnot
-
- besides the incompletion... there is one bug I recently observed (which is
- trivial): the menu construction for submenu items ignores toggle items (they
- are "normal" entries).
-
-
- --------------------------
- Version
-
-
- This source code is completely public domain. I hope it helps someone as
- I had to tear through include files, magazine articles, etc.
- If you do do something neat to AIB (er...like finish it) please let me know
- cause Id like to see it.
-
- Thanks!
