Messenger Delivers
By Kirk Chase, Anaheim, CA
Got The Message?
I was going over the editorial calendar for MacTutor a few weeks back. I was trying to schedule all the fine articles we have on file for future publication. In short, I was trying to do the impossible. But I do get a feeling of “accomplishment” if I come away without feeling terrible for not placing everyone’s article or without a headache.
To continue, I came across Paul Potts article, and scheduled it for April for our “Dialog” issue. I chided myself for not being as good with my modal dialogs. It was so easy to make them a little more friendlier to the user. I decided to come up with a set of useful dialog routines of my own.
When writing an application, there are many dialogs that are similar in nature. They usually have one to three buttons with a message similar to, “Save changes to ”, “You cannot do that!”, or “I am deleting all funds in your Swiss bank account.” If you’re like most people, you have a general dialog box and a general set of routines to put it up with your message in it. It is usually not as robust as it should be. I decided to write a few routines for a general message dialog, Messenger.
Messenger Structure
The heart of messenger is located in the global variable, MInfo. This structure contains the information needed to put up a dialog box with/without an icon and from 0 to 3 buttons. The structure is declared as follows:
/* 1 */ typedef struct DialogInfo { short defaultItem; int Buttons; int dPlace; short dIcon; Rect IconRect; Rect Button1Rect; Rect Button2Rect; Rect Button3Rect; Rect TextRect; Rect dRect; int Arrange; ProcPtr AddFilter; Str255 Button1; Str255 Button2; Str255 Button3; Str255 CharEquiv; } DialogInfo, *DialogInfoPointer, **DialogInfoHandle; extern DialogInfo MInfo;
defaultItem: Indicates the button considered the default, or the button which responds to return or enter key. It draws a bold, rounded rectangle around that button.
Buttons: The number of buttons in the dialog. Valid numbers are 0 through 3. If there are 0 buttons then a mouse click, return, or enter will exit the dialog.
dPlace: The dialog is placed in the center or top third of the screen.
dIcon: Specifies the resource ID of the icon or -1 if no icon. You may call the stop, note, or caution icons with their appropriate constant values.
IconRect, Button1Rect, Button2Rect, Button3Rect, TextRect, and dRect: These are the enclosing rectangles for the icon, buttons, text, and dialog. You need only set the top left point to (0,0) and the bottom right point to the width and height of the object. The dialog handler will take care of positioning them for you.
Button1, Button2, Button3: The titles of the buttons to display.
CharEquiv: The character equivalents for the buttons. Two characters may be specified for each button: the first two for button 1, the next two for button 2, and the last two for button 3.
Arrange: This flag has a valid value of HORIZONTAL or VERTICAL, depending on if you want your buttons across the bottom or down the right side.
AddFilter: In addition to the Messenger’s own filter proc which handles character equivalents, updates, and so forth, an additional filter may be designated for further processing. Just pass nil if none, or pass a filter proc of the form:
/* 2 */ pascal Boolean MyFilter(itemHit, theDialog);
itemHit is the item number of the dialog hit; theDialog is the dialog pointer, and you return true if you wish to exit the modal dialog loop and false if not.
Messenger Routines and Globals
menu_height: This is a global of the height in pixels the menu is. It is initialized in InitMessage().
InitMessage: This call is made to put valid values in the MInfo structure. You may modify them to your default dialog style. Call this at the beginning of your application and whenever you wish to reset the default values.
GetMInfo, SetMInfo: I like those calls to GetPort and SetPort, and so I have implemented similar calls. With GetMInfo, you store the old values of MInfo, and with SetMInfo, you set it to your values.
DoMessage: This is the main routine that does all the work. It takes the values in MInfo, creates the dialog, arranges the items, sets the ParamText with the strings you pass, and calls ModalDialog. It returns the number of the last item hit, or 0 if something went wrong.
Message: This is a standard, general dialog routine. It handles those dialogs with familiar button titles such as “OK”.
There are a few other routines, such as positioning a small rectangle in the center or the top third of a larger rectangle (such as screenBits.bounds). The routine will find the top third or center line of the larger rectangle and then centers the smaller rectangle on that line. BoldRect() is used for hiliting the default button. SaveChanges() allows you to pass the file name and a “before closing/quitting” string. AnOSError() is an error handler that returns FALSE if no error is passed to it; otherwise it puts up an appropriate dialog and returns TRUE.
The Code
Messenger.h: This is the header file for Messenger. Include this file in your main routine to call InitMessage, and also include it in every file that makes use of the Messenger routines.
Messenger.c: This is the code for Messenger. I would suggest, again, that you change InitMessage to the set up that you are most likely to use in your application.
About.c: In this file, there are a couple of examples of how to use Messenger. The D_About procedure puts up an About dialog. D_Example procedure shows the use of the additional filter procedure.
Messenger.r: This is the resource file for messenger. Be sure to include it in your resource file. Also, do not use the same IDs for the templates.
Where to go from here?
One direction to go is to improve on the routines. How about three character equivalents? Or get rid of the resource file and do everything in memory? Or add functionality to the positioning routines? Perhaps a few more general dialog routines could be added.
THINK C 4.0 have ‘Estr’ resource types for their class library. These are string resources with English error messages whose IDs correspond to error numbers. For those who are still having difficulty with OOP, perhaps you could extend the error dialog to handle them.
Oh, and try to have meaningful dialogs (I couldn’t help myself).
