And maybe you want to add this Functionality directly toπTFileCopy rather than deriving a new Object.π}π 13 05-28-9313:53ALL SWAG SUPPORT TEAM OOPINFO.PAS IMPORT 240 dp My understanding of OOP revolves around three principles:ππ ENCAPSULATION: All data-Types, Procedures, Functions are placedπ within a new Type of wrapper called an Object.ππ This new wrapper is very simillar to a standardπ Record structure, except that it also containsπ the routines that will act on the data-Typesπ within the Object.ππ The Object-oriented style of Programming requiresπ that you should ONLY use the routines within theπ Object to modify/retrieve each Object's data-Types.π (ie: Don't access the Variables directly.)πππ Structured Style OOP Styleπ ================ =========π MyRecord = Record MyObject = Objectπ 1st Variable; 1st Variable;π 2nd Variable; 2nd Variable;π 3rd Variable 3rd Variable;π end; Procedure One;π Procedure Two;π Function One;π Function Two;π end;ππ inHERITANCE: This gives you the ability to make a new Object byπ cloning an old Object. The new Object will containπ all the abilities of the old Object.π (ie: Variables, Procedures/Functions).ππ You can add additional abilities to this new Object,π or replace old ones.ππ +--------------+π | New Object |π | +--------+ |π | | Old | |π | | Object | |π | +--------+ |π +--------------+ππ With Inheritance, you don't have to go back andπ re-Write old routines to modify them into newπ ones. Instead, simply clone the old Object andπ add or replace Variables/Procedures/Functions.ππ This makes the whole process of rewriting/modifyingπ a Program MUCH faster/easier. Also there is lessπ chance of creating new bugs from your old bug-freeπ source-code.πππ POLYMorPHISM: The name Sounds intimidating, but the concept isπ simple.ππ Polymorphism allows one Procedure/Function toπ act differently between one Object and all itsπ descendants. (Clones)ππ These Type of "polymorphic" Procedures/Functionsπ know which Object they are working on, and actπ accordingly. For example:ππ Say you've created an Object (Object-1) thatπ contains a Procedure called DrawWindow, to drawπ the main screen of a Program.ππ DrawWindow relies on another Procedure SetBorderπ within Object-1, to set the borders used in theπ main screen.ππ Now you clone Object-2 from Object-1.ππ You want to use Object-2 to handle pop-up Windows,π but you want the pop-ups to have a different borderπ style.ππ if you call the DrawWindow Procedure that Object-2π inherited from Object-1, you'll end up With a Windowπ With the wrong border-style.ππ to get around this you could change the SetBorderπ Procedure to a "Virtual" Procedure, and add aπ second identically named "Virtual" Procedureπ (SetBorder) within Object-2.ππ A "Virtual" Procedure relies on a "Virtual Table"π (Which is basicly a Chart to indicate whichπ "Virtual" routine belongs to which Object)π to, indicate which version of the identicallyπ named Procedures should be used within differentπ Objects.ππ So within Object-1, the DrawWindow routine willπ use the SetBorder Procedure within Object-1.ππ Within Object-2, the inherited DrawWindow routineπ will use the other SetBorder Procedure that belongsπ to Object-2.ππ This works because the "Virtual Table" tells theπ DrawWindow routine which SetBorder Procedure toπ use For each different Object.ππ So a call to the SetBorder Procedure now actsπ differently, depending on which Object called it.π This is "polymorphism" in action.πππ OOP LANGUAGE LinGO: The following are some of the proper names Forπ OOP syntax.ππ Structured Programming OOP Programmingπ ====================== ===============π Variables Instancesπ Procedures/Functions Methodsπ Types Classesπ Records Objectsππ{π> i have a parent Object defined With Procedure a and b.π> i have a child Object With Procedure a, b and c.ππ> when i declare say john being a child, i can use a, b, or c With noπ> problem. when i declare john as being a parent, i can use a or b.ππ> if i declare john as being a parent and initialise it withπ> new (childPTR,init) it seems i have access to the parent fieldsππAfter reading twice, I understand you mean Object classes dealing With humans,πnot trees (happen to have parents & childs too).ππ> parent a,b,c,d,e,fπ (bad)π> parent a,bπ (good)π> child a,b,cπ> child2 a,b,dπ> child3 a,b,e,fπ (redefine a, b For childs as Far as they differ from parent a,b)ππNext example could be offensive For christians, atheists and media-people.π}ππTypeπ TParent = Object { opt.

I also don't think that dynamicπ-> Array Objects are very good examples of OOP. (For example, whatπ-> do extend the dynamic-Array Object into, via inheiritance???)π->π-> ...Something more like a generic "Menu" or "Line-Editor" Objectπ-> might be a better example.ππWell I don't know exactly what you are trying to do With your dynamicπArray but it can be OOP'ed. Linked lists are a prime example (I hopeπthis is close) By using OOP to Write link lists you can come up withπObjects such as:ππTypeπ ListPtr = ^List;π NodePtr = ^ListNode;ππ List (Object)π TNode : Pointer; {Pointer to the top Record}π BNode : Pointer; {Pointer ro the bottom Record}π CurNode : Pointer; {Current Pointer}ππ Constructor Init; {Initializes List Object}π Destructor Done; Virtual; {Destroys the list and all its nodes}ππ Function top (Var Node : ListNode) : NodePtr;π Function Bottom (Var Node : ListNode) : NodePtr;π Function Next (Var Node : ListNode) : NodePtr;π Function Prev (Var Node : ListNode) : NodePtr;π Function Current(Var Node : ListNode) : NodePtr;ππ Procedure AttachBeFore (Var Node : ListNode);π Procedure AttachAfter (Var Node : ListNode);π Procedure Detach (Var NodePtr : Pointer);ππ end;ππ ListNode = Object;π Prev : NodePtr;π Next : NodePtr;ππ Constructor Init;π Destructor Done; Virtual;ππ end;ππThe list Object is just that. It has the basic operations you would doπwith a list. You can have more than one list but only one set ofπmethods will be linked in. The List node Dosn't have much other thanπthe Pointers to link them into a list and an Init, done methods. Soundsπlike a ton of work just to implement a list but there is so much you canπdo easely With OOP that you would have a hard time doing conventionally.πOne example, because the ListNode's Done Destructor is Virtual the Doneπof the list can accually tranvirs the list and destroy all Objects inπthe list. One list can accually contain Objects that are not theπsame!!! Yep it sure can. As long as an Object is dirived from ListNodeπthe list can handel it. Try to do that using conventional methods!!ππI'm assuming that your dynamic Array will do something similar which isπwhy I suggested it. A Menu and Line editor Objects are High levelπObjects that should be based on smaller Objects. I'd assume that a lineπeditor would be a Complex list of Strings so the list and ListNodeπObjects would need to be built. See what I mean???ππthen you get into Abstract Objects. These are Objects that defineπcommon methods For its decendants but do not accually have any code toπsuport them. This way you have set up a standard set of routines thatπall decendants would have and Programs could be written using them. THeπresults of which would be a Program that could handel any Object basedπon the abstract.ππ-> RM>I have mixed feeling on this. I see OOP and Object as tools For aπ-> RM>Program to manipulate.π->π-> RM> IE: File Objects, Screen Objects, ect then bind them togetherπ-> RM> in a Program using conventional style coding.π->π-> ...to my understanding of the OOP style of Programming, this wouldπ-> be a "NO-NO".ππOK well With the exception of TApplication Object in Turbo Vision aπProgram is a speciaized code that more than likely can't be of any useπFor decendants.

This is an ABSTRACT Object. It only defines a common set ofπroutines that its decendants will have.ππ2. notice the Procedure Abstract. It will generate a runtime errorπ211. This is not defined by TP. Every Method of an Object has to doπsomthing. if we just did nothing we could launch our Program intoπspace. By having all methods call Abstract it will error out theπProgram and you will know that you have called and abstract method.ππ3. I'm sure some may question why some are Procedures and some areπFunctions ie Open is a Function and close is a Boolean. What I basedπthem on is if an error check a mandatory it will be a Function Boolean;πThis way loops will be clean. Open in a network Open will require aπcheck because it may be locked. Which brings up point 4.ππ4. We are not even finished With this Object yet. We still have toπdefine a standard error reporting / checking methods and also lock loopπcontrol methods. not to mention some kind of common data and methods toπmanipulate that data. Moving to point 5.ππ5. Where does it end??? Well we hvae added quite a few Virtual methodsπWhile thsi is not bad it does have a negative side. All Virtual methodsπwill be linked in to the final EXE weather it is used or not. There areπvalid reasions For this but you don't want to make everything Virtual ifπit Dosn't have to be. My thinking is this. if it should be a standardπroutine For all decendants then it should be Virtual. if requiredπmethods call a method then why not make it Virtual (this will becomeπmore apparent in network methods and expanding this Object)ππNow personally I get a feeling that the DateTime and Attr methodsπshouldnn't be there or at least not Virtual as the vast majority ofπPrograms will not need them and its pushing the limits of Operatingπsystem spisific methods. SO it will probly be a Dos only Object. (Yesπthere are others that have this but I think its over kill) The sameπgoes For the copy and rename methods so I would lean to removing themπfrom this Object and define them in decendants.ππSo what do you think we need to have For error checking / reportingπmethods??? Do you think we could use more / different methods???πππ{π DW> I am trying to teach myself about Object orientated Programming andπ DW> about 'inheritence'. This is my code using Records.ππThe idea of Object oriented Programing is what is refered to asπencapsulation. Your data and the Functions that manipulate it areπgrouped together. As an example, in a traditional Program, a linkedπlist would look something like:π}ππTypeπ Linked_List =π Recordπ Data : Integer; {Some data}π Next : ^Linked_List; {Next data}π Prev : ^Linked_List; {Prev data}π end;ππthen you would have a whole slew of Functions that took Linked_List as aπparameter. Under OOP, it would look more likeππTypeπ Linked_List =π Objectπ Data : Integer;π Next : ^Linked_List;π Prev : ^Linked_List;ππ Constructor Init(); {Initializes Linked_List}π Destructor DeInit(); {Deinitializes Linked_List}π Procedure AddItem(aData : Integer);π Procedure GetItem(Var aData : Integer);π end;ππthen, to add an item to a particular list, the code would look like:πThis_Linked_List.AddItem(10);ππThis is easier to understand. An easy way to think about this is thatπan Object is an entity sitting out there. You tell it what you want toπdo, instead of calling a Function you can't identify. Inheritanceπallows you to make a linked list that holds a different Type, but Usesπthe same Interface funtions. More importantly, using the same methodπand Pointers, you could have both Types in the same list, depending onπhow you implemented it.ππIt helps debugging time, because if you wanted to add a Walk_ListπFunction, you could add it and get it working For the parent Object, andπ(since the mechanics of it would be the same For ANY Linked List), youπcould Write it once and use it without problems. That is a clearπadvantage. Other Uses include:ππ(For a door Type Program) and Input/Output Object that serves as a baseπFor a console Object and a modem Object, and thusly allows you to treatπthe two as the same device, allowing you to easily use both.ππ(For a BBS Message base kit) a Generic Message Object that serves as aπbase For a set of Objects, each of which implements a different BBS'πdata structures. Using this kit, a Program could send a message to anyπof the BBSes just by knowing the core Object's mechanics.ππ(For Windows) a Generic Object represents a Generic Window. Byπinheritance, you inherit the Functionality of the original Window. Byπcreating an Object derived from the generic Window, you can addπadditional Functionality, without having to first Write routines toπmirror existing Functionality.ππ(For Sound) a Generic Object represents a generic Sound device.πSpecific child Object translate basic commands (note on, note off, etc)πto device specific commands. Again, the Program doesn't have to knowπwhether there is a PC speaker or an Adlib or a SoundBlaster--all it hasπto know is that it calls note_on to start a note and note_off to end aπnote.ππThere are thousands on thousands of other examples. if you read throughπthe turbo guides to turbovision or to Object oriented Programming, theyπwill help you understand. Also, a good book on Object orientedπProgramming doesn't hurt ;>.πππππ{π> Now, the questions:π> 1. How do I discretly get the Lat & Long into separateπ> Collections? In other Words (psuedocode):ππNo need For seperate collections, put all the inFormation in a Singleπcollection.ππ> Any hints would be appreciated.

I would like to Write an editor. Theπ> problem is I dont understand a thing about Pointers (which everyoneπ> seems to use For editors).ππ I'm certainly no TP expert, but I might be able to help out With theπPointers. Pointers are just special 4-Byte Variables that contain (πpoint to) a specific position in memory. You can also make a Pointerπact like the thing to which it is pointing is a particular Type ofπVariable (Byte, String, etc). Unlike normal Var Variables, however, theseπVariables are what's referred to as Virtual -- they aren't fixed in theπ.EXE code like Var Vars, so you can have as many of them as you like,πwithin memory Constraints. Each is created when needed using the GetMemπstatement. This statement makes a request For some more memory to beπused in the heap (all left-over memory when the Program loads usually).ππWhat you need in a editor is to be able to somehow link the Stringsπthat make up the document into what's called a list (first line, next,π... , last line). The easiest way to visualize this is a bunch of peopleπin a line holding hands, each hand being a Pointer. The hand is not theπentire person, it just connects to the next one. So, what you do isπuse a Record that contains one String For one line of Text, a Pointer toπthe previous line of Text in the document, and a Pointer to the next lineπin the document. A Record like this should do it:π {+------------------------- Usually used in starting a Type of Pointer}π {|+------------------------ Points to a String in the document }π {|| +----------- This is usedto mean that PStringItem is }π || | to be a Pointer pointing to a Record }π || | known as TStringItem }π {vv vπType PStringItem = ^TStringItem;π TStringItem : Recordπ LineOText : String [160]; {Double the screen width should do it}π NextLine : PStringItem; {Points to the next line in memory}π PrevLine : PStringItem; {Points to the previous line in memory}π end;ππIn your editor main Program, useππVar FirstLine, LastLine, StartLine, CurrLine : PStringItem;ππto create Varibles giving you `bookmarks' to the first line in theπFile, last in the File, the one the cursor is on, and the one thatπstarts the screen. All of these will change.ππto create the first line in the document, use:ππGetMem (FirstLine, Sizeof (TStringItem)); {get memory enough For one line}πCurrLine := FirstLine; {of course, only one line in the doc so Far!}πLastLine := FirstLine;πStartLine := FirstLine;πFirstLine^.NextLine := nil; {nil means no particular place-- there's no}πFirstLine^.PrevLine := nil; {line beFore of after FirstLine yet }ππNow the Variable FirstLine will contain the address of the newly createdπVariable. to address that Variable, use the carrot (^), like this:ππFirstLine^.LineOText := 'Hello World!');ππto make a new line in the list just get more memory For another line:ππGetMem (LastLine^.NextLine, Sizeof (TStringItem));πLastLine := LastLine^.NextLine;ππThis will get more memory and set the last line in the File'sπnext line Pointer to the new String, then make the new String theπlast line.ππDeleting a line is almost as simple. You use the FreeMem Procedureπto release the memory used by a Variable. if it's in the middle of theπlist, just set the to-be-deleted's next line's previous line to theπto-be deleted's previous line, and the previous line's next to the oneπafter the one to be deleted, essentially removing it from the list andπthen tieing the peices back together. You can then kill off the memoryπused by that line.ππ{Delete current line}πif CurrLine^.NextLine <> nil then {there's a line after this one}π CurrLine^.NextLine^.PrevLine := CurrLine^.PrevLine;πif CurrLine^.PrevLine <> nil then {there's a line beFore this one}π CurrLine^.PrevLine^.NextLine := CurrLine^.NextLine;πFreeMem (CurrLine, Sizeof (TStringItem));ππto insert a line, just do about the opposite.ππif you don't understand, I won't blame you, I'm half asleep anyway...πbut I hoe it clears some of the fog. if the manual isn't helpfulπenough now, try tom Swan's _Mastering Turbo Pascal_, an excellentπbook.π 14 05-28-9313:53ALL SWAG SUPPORT TEAM OOPMENU.PAS IMPORT 17 dC {πMenus in TV are instances of class tMenuBar, accessed via Pointer TypeπpMenuBar.

After describingπthe error, the Borland representative agreed that it was a bug and thatπit hasn't been reported. ThereFore, I will describe the bug here and giveπa fix to the problem.ππProblem:πRecall, HELPFile.PAS is the Turbo Vision Unit that TVDEMO.PAS Uses toπprovide on-line help to Turbo Vision Programs. The problem that occurredπwas that if a help panel was brought up that did not contain a crossπreference entry (i.e. hyperText link), and the user pressed [Tab] orπShift+[Tab] then a run-time error is generated. notE: the run-timeπerror is generated if the Program is Compiled With Range Checking on.πif Range checking is off, then unpredicatable results occur.ππto see the bug in action, do the following:ππFire up Turbo Pascal 6 and load the TVDEMO.PAS Program (by default it existsπin the TVDEMOS subdirectory). Make sure Range checking is turned on.πThe option is in Options|Compiler. You will also want to turn debuggingπon in both the TVDEMO.PAS and HELPFile.PAS Files. to do this, you mustπedit the source code of both Files and change the {$D-} option to {$D+}πat the beginning of both Files.ππOnce you have done the above, press Ctrl+F9 to run TVDEMO. When TVDEMOπcomes up, press F1 to bring up the help Window. Now, press Shift+[Tab]πor [Tab] and a RunTime error 201 will occur.ππThis bug arises from the fact that the HELPFile.PAS Unit assumes thatπthere will always be at least one cross reference field on a help panel.πObviously, this is an invalid assumption.ππLuckily, there is an easy solution to the problem. The following showsπhow to change the HELPFile.PAS Program so that this error doesn't occur.πThe only Procedure that needs to be changed is THelpViewer.HandleEvent.ππ*)ππProcedure THelpViewer.HandleEvent(Var Event: TEvent);πVarπ KeyPoint, Mouse: TPoint;π KeyLength: Byte;π KeyRef: Integer;π KeyCount: Integer;π{ 1.

I have a fewπother, less general objects which I may spread around later.ππThese objects have not been used enough to verify they are 100% bug free, soπif you find any problems, or have any comments, please send me some Emailπ( D.Cook on Genie ).ππ OBJECTS:ππTDateView - A date text box, much like TClockView in TVDemos.ππTPushButton - A descendend of TButton, with "feel" for keyboard users.ππTNum_Box - A number only input box with an adjustable number of digitsπ before and after the decimal point, along with selectableπ negative number acceptance.ππTLinked_Dialog - A descendent of TDialog which allows you to set "Links"π between items ( i.e. item selection through cursor keys ).ππAlso, FormatDate, a function used by TDateView is provided.πππ ╔═════════════╗π ║ TDateView ║π ╚═════════════╝πππTDateView is almost identicle to TClockView ( in TVDemos - Gadget.Pas ).ππINITIALIZATION:ππTDateView is initialized by sending TDateView a TRect giving it's location.ππUSAGE:ππOnce TDateView is initialized, an occasional call to TDateView.Update keepsπthe displayed date current.ππExample:ππ Var TR : TRect ;π DateV : TDateView ;π Beginπ TR.Assign( 60 , 0 , 78 , 1 );π DateV.Init( TR );π DateV.Update ;π End;ππππ ╔═══════════════╗π ║ TPushButton ║π ╚═══════════════╝πππTPushButton is identicle to TButton in every way except that when it isπ"pressed", it actually draws itself pressed.ππThis gives visual feedback to those using non-mouse systems.ππThe delay values in TPushButton.Press may need to be altered to adjust theπ"feel".ππ ╔════════════╗π ║ TNum_Box ║π ╚════════════╝πππTNum_Box is a numerical entry box with definable precision.ππINITIALIZATION:ππTNum_Box is initialized by sending TNum_Box.Init:π Location : TPointπ Max Digits before the decimal point : Integerπ Max Digits after the decimal point : Integerπ Negative Numbers allowed flag : Booleanπ Default Value : ExtendedππIf the digits after the decimal point = 0, no decimal point is displayedπ( or excepted ).ππIf negative numbers are allowed, one extra space is reserved for a negativeπsign. No digits can be entered in this spot.ππOnly Backspace is used to edit the numberical field.ππUSAGE:ππThe value of the input box can be read directly from TNum_Box.Curr_Val.ππThis value may not be up to date if editing is still taking place, or noπdata has been entered. To ensure a correct reading, a call toπTNum_Box.Update_Value is recommended.ππAfter initilization, the box is displayed with blanks for the number of digits.πIf you wish to display the default value instead, use TNum_Box.Update_Value.ππExample:ππ Var TP : TPoint ;π Int_Box1 : TNum_Box ;π Int_Box2 : TNum_Box ;π Flt_Box1 : TNum_Box ;π Beginπ Tp.X := 10 ;π Tp.Y := 5 ;ππ (* Define a box at 10,5 with 3 digits, no decimals, no negatives and aπ default of 0 *)ππ Int_Box1.Init( TP , 3 , 0 , False , 0 )ππ TP.X := 15 ;ππ (* Define a box at 10,15 with 5 digits, no decimals, negatives and aπ default of 1. Then, update the box displaying the default *)ππ Int_Box2.Init( TP , 5 , 0 , True , 1 )π Int_Box2.Update_Value ;ππ TP.X := 25 ;ππ (* Define a box at 10,25 with 5 digits, 2 decimal places , negatives andπ a default of 0. Leave the box a blank. *)ππ flt_Box1.Init( TP , 5 , 2 , True , 0 )ππ End;ππ ╔══════════════════╗π ║ TLinked_Dialog ║π ╚══════════════════╝πππTLinked_Dialog is descendant of TDialog with improved cursor movement betweenπfields.ππDeveloping for a non-mouse system ( even a mouse system ) where your dialogsπhave over about 10 fields gets a bit ugly. The tab key becomes impracticleπand setting hotkeys for each field may not be practicle.ππThe program EXAMPLE.PAS is not an exageration, it is a SIMPLIFIED version ofπa dialog I am developing at work. Try getting to a field #54 via tabs!ππTLinked_Dialog solves the problem by having the Dialog jump between linksπyou define. Cursor keys are used to select the link direction, though 2 spareπlinks are defined for object future use or for object use.ππ Example of a linking: 11π 21 22π 31ππ Object 21 would want links defined for 11 ( DLink_Up ), 22 ( DLink_Right ),π and 31 ( DLink_Down ).ππ Once the links are defined, HandleEvent switches the focus according to theπ cursor keys.πππINITIALIZATION:ππTDialog is initialized exactly the same as TDialog. ( Refer to the Turbo Visionπmanual for details. )ππTLinked_Dialog.Init calls TDialog.Init and the initialized a collection ofπlinks to track item linking.ππUSAGE:ππOnce TLinked_Dialog is initialized, you insert items into the TLinked_Dialogπjust as you would a normal dialog.ππAfter the items are inserted, you set up links.ππ***** NOTE: Do not set up links for an item before it is inserted! *****ππLinks are created by calling TLinked_Dialog.Set_Link withπ Item to set link for : PViewπ Direction of link : Integerπ Use the constants:π DLink_Up, Dlink_Down, DLink_Right,π DLink_Left, DLink_Spare1, Dlink_Spare2π Pointer to linked item : PointerππAll links are 1 way. If you wish Button55 <--> Button56, you must defineπtwo links, Button55 right to Button56 and Button56 left to Button55. This isπbecause multiple items may be linked to the same item, which would make findingπthe reverse link impossible.ππYou can select another object via a link by calling TLinked_Dialog.Select_Linkπwith the link direction. The currently selected object's link will be tracedπto the next object ( If possible ).ππExample:ππ Var TR : TRect ;π TP : TPoint ;π TLD : TLinked_Dialog ;π Butt1 : TPushButton ;π Box1 : TNum_Box ;π Box2 : TNum_Box ;π Box3 : TNum_Box ;π Box4 : TNum_Box ;ππ Beginπ TR.Assign( 10 , 1 , 70 , 10 );π TLD.Init( TR ,'Test Linked Dialog');πππ (* Set up a button and insert it *)ππ TR.Assign( 5 , 3 , 15 , 5 );π Butt1.Init(TR,'~P~ush',cmOk,bfDefault));π TLD.Insert( Butt1 );ππ (* Set up box1 and insert it *)π TP.Y := 8 ;π TP.X := 3 ;ππ Box1.Init( TP , 3 , 2 , FALSE , 1 );π TLD.Insert( Box1 );ππ (* Set up box2 and insert it *)π TP.X := TP.X + 10 ;ππ Box2.Init( TP , 3 , 2 , FALSE , 1 );π TLD.Insert( Box2 );ππ TP.Y := 9 ;π TP.X := 3 ;ππ (* Set up box3 and insert it *)ππ Box3.Init( TP , 3 , 2 , FALSE , 1 );π TLD.Insert( Box3 );ππ TP.X := TP.X + 10 ;ππ (* Set up box and insert it *)ππ Box4.Init( TP , 3 , 2 , FALSE , 1 );π TLD.Insert( Box4 );ππ (* Boxes at [1] [2] *)π (* [3] [4] *)ππ (* Link Box1 -> Box2 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX1 , DLink_Right , @BOX2 );ππ (* Link Box1 <- Box2 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX2 , DLink_Left , @BOX1 );ππ (* Link Box3 -> Box4 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX3 , DLink_Right , @BOX4 );ππ (* Link Box3 <- Box4 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX4 , DLink_Left , @BOX3 );ππ (* Link Box1 -> Box3 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX1 , DLink_Down , @BOX3 );ππ (* Link Box1 <- Box3 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX3 , DLink_Up , @BOX1 );ππ (* Link Box2 -> Box4 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX2 , DLink_Down , @BOX4 );ππ (* Link Box2 <- Box4 *)π TDL.Set_Link( @BOX4 , DLink_Up , @BOX2 );ππEnd;πππ}ππ{ Note: Tab Size = 4 }ππ(* Set conditions to allow for "Extended" type *)π{$N+,E+}ππ(**************************************************************************)π(* *)π(* Library of objects for Turbo Vision V1.00 *)π(* *)π(* By: Devin Cook *)π(* copyright (c) 1990 MSD *)π(* Public Domain Object library *)π(* *)π(* Object: TDateView *)π(* Same as TClockView, except displays the date *)π(* *)π(* Object: TPushButton *)π(* Same as TButton, except button "Show" press by keyboard *)π(* *)π(* Object: TNum_Box *)π(* An editable number only entry box - configurable *)π(* *)π(* Object: TLinked_Dialog *)π(* A normal dialog which handles cursor links to other *)π(* items *)π(* *)π(* Func: FormatDate *)π(* Formats a date into a string *)π(* *)π(**************************************************************************)ππ{$F+,O+,S-,D+}ππInterfaceππUses Crt, Dos, Objects, Views, Dialogs, Drivers;ππ(* Constents for Linked_Dialog *)ππConst DLink_Left = 1 ;π DLink_Right = 2 ;π DLink_Up = 3 ;π DLink_Down = 4 ;π DLink_Spare1 = 5 ;π DLink_Spare2 = 6 ;ππTypeππ(**************************************************************************)π(* *)π(* Object: TDateView *)π(* *)π(* Desc: TDateView is a static text object of the date, in a formated *)π(* string, usually placed on the status or menu lines. *)π(* *)π(* Format: Sun Dec 16, 1990 *)π(* *)π(* This format can be altered by changing Function FormatDate. *)π(* *)π(* Init: Initialization is done by supply a TRect to the INIT method. *)π(* *)π(* Note: The UPDATE method checks to see if the Day-of-Week value still *)π(* matches the system Day-of-Week, and updates it's view if they *)π(* don't match.
