CHYDALE MOUSE DRIVER
346,50
Integrate mouse with your Clipper application using the Chydale Mouse
driver and avoid trouble of programming the mouse. One line of code
added to your source code enables mouse support for MENU TO, MEMOEDIT,
GETs, ACHOICE, DBEDIT and more. A unique new BUTTON facility allows to
associate and action with a region on the screen.
The ChyDale Mouse Driver has been designed for developers who need to
integrate a mouse in their applications without having to program it.
To use the Mouse Driver with Clipper 5.0, it is only necessary to add
1 line of source code, recompile and relink. All of Clipper's user
interface wait states are then fully supported. The GET system, DBEDIT.
MEMOEDIT, MENU TO and ACHOICE. This allows programmers to quickly add
in mouse functionality without the complex coding normally associated
with mouse drivers.
Programmers wishing to add new features to existing applications may
utilise additional functionality. For example "buttons" and additional
parameters allowing DBEDIT() and ACHOICE() function to be re-sizeable
and moveable.
Norton Guides are supplied with the product.
Features:
MENU TO
Use of the Mouse Driver enhances Clipper's MENU TO command, allowing
item selection to be made by mouse. The full source code to this
replacement command is provided. ChyDale Software has supplied some
enhancements to the existing built-in command enabling menus to be
saved on execution (MENU TO SAVE) changing the supplied source
code will permit further enhancement.
MEMOEDIT
End users finding moving around a large memo field very frustrating.
With the Mouse Driver a simple point and click will move the
cursor automatically. Clicking outside the memoedit area initiates
a page down, page up, pan right or pan left.
GET SYSTEM
Screens with many fields can take some time to navigate. The Mouse
allows the user to click on a field and have the cursor move to it
automatically. Any "validation: or "when" clauses are respected.
The cursor remains in the same place if a field cannot be reached
by normal cursor movements. The Mouse Driver fully respects
picture clauses and allows the user to move around inside a
selected field.
ACHOICE
The Mouse Driver enables existing ACHOICE menus to work with a
mouse. A user may move around ACHOICE by clicking outside ACHOICE
box, the mouse Driver will then PageUp or PageDown, allowing hidden
options to be viewed. As with normal ACHOICE menus the Mouse Driver
will only permit enabled options to be selected.
DBEDIT
Users may wish to navigate withing DBEDIT window and click on
individual fields. If the mouse is clicked outside the DBEDIT
box the either a pan right/left or a page up/down sequence is
initiated. By passing additional parameters to the DBEDIT and
ACHOICE, they can be transformed into "sizeable" and/or
"moveable" objects.
BUTTONS
ChyDale Software has now added BUTTONS to the Clipper language.
These allow "Regions" on the screen to be "associated" with an
action, for example a function call. Buttons greatly enhance a
developer's ability to create easy to use applications.
25/43/50 LINE mode support. Mouse driver has been written to work
with STANDARD screen driver supplied by Clipper, enabling other
add-on products to be used. Therefore, all Clipper video modes
are supported, 25, 43 and 50 line with all collumn modes.
