Subject: IntuiSup.library

hai all,

Here it is : the missing doc about IntuiSup. I write from my own experiences
and with help from some of you :)

It is not a real doc, but a kind of How to use' for beginners like me !

Good reading !

IntuiSup.library                                               IntuiSup.library


                            The missing DOC


Note : this file is *NOT* a part of the IntuiSup archive. I write it only
because there are some other users who will ask them a lot of question about
using this library, and may be are as I am, a beginner in programmation.
There are some things that I don't know about this library. So don't ask me
what does one function do. It is only a summary with some comments.
the (?) means that I don't know what exactly does this function. I don't try
it yet !
This file is more a 'How to use' and 'whre to find that' file than a
technical one, where I can read nothing. All what you will read comes
directly from my own experience. There is no Doc, except a brief description
of the command.

All of this can be found in the example file semed in the archive...



I       What is the IntuiSup.library ?

        It is a gadget library compatible with all Amigas system from 1.3
    up to 3.0. It is written by Torsten J�rgenleit.
    The library can be found on Aminet sites, in the 'utils/libs' directory.


II      What does this library do more than the others ?

        Well, for 2.0+ system user, this library is only usefull in the way of
    how you program it in your code.
    For 1.3 system users, like me, it is a open door to the 2.0 system without
    having it !
    Here are the features that IntuiSup allows :

        - 3D look,
        - all 2.0 gadgets,
        - locale available under 1.3 !
        - and a Editor, but unfortunately, it produces C codes :(


III     How to link IntuiSup with Amiga E ? What about the E modules ?

        This is a critical point. The only way for E user to use an shared
    library, is to convert the pragmas and the include files into E modules.

    Pragmas : you can find the pragmas file called 'IntuiSup.h'
            Beware, there is many 'IntuiSup.h' files in the archive.
            Then use the Pragmas2module program to convert it. Place the
            resulting 'IntuiSup.m' in the EMODULES: directory.

    Include : There is no IntuiSup.i file in the package. The only way to do
            is to convert the include 'IntuiSup.h' (not the same as the
            Pragmas one) with a C processor into 'IntuiSup.i'. And then
            convert this latter file with Iconvert (which need the SAS/C
            Includes and A68k). Place the result in the 'EMODULES:Libraries/'
            directory.

    That's it for the modules !

    Note 1 : I translated these files in E modules, but modified some constants
        (They are very very long : some are 25 chars long !)

    Note 2 : In the Include file, you will find a structure for the gadgets
        with a C union within. Just erase this structure, we don't use it
        as far as we will use E lists and the GadgetData structure.


IV      Is there something special in the use of IntuiSup ?

        Yes, it is the internal variable, which is used in fast all the
    fonctions. This is the only way to the library to know where it is !
    This is because the IntuiSup modify all Intuition messages by adding
    its own. So it is not very painful to add this library in your code,
    because all message will be send through intuition. The only minor
    difference is to replace the functions GetMsg() and ReplyMsg() with
    IGetMsg() and IReply(). That's all !
    For the lists and structures, lists must be 0-terminated.
    (INTUISUP_DATA_END = 0)


V       About the gadgets, how do we code them ?

        Simple, we will use lists to create our gadget.
    The way to do it is :

    DEF gadgets

    gadgets:=[ type,flags,x,y,w,h,text,textattr,data1,data2,data3,
               type,flags,x,y,w,h,text,textattr,data1,data2,data3,
               .......
                  0,    0,0,0,0,0,   0,       0,    0,    0,    0 ]:gadgetdata


    Note that you must have at least in the 'emodules:libraries/intuisup.m'
    module the gadgetdata structure. The union can be deleted. This is the
    object equivalent to the C structure we must have :

        OBJECT GadgetData [
            gd_Types,
            gd_Flags,
            gd_LeftEdge,
            gd_Width,
            gd_Height,
            gd_Text,
            gd_TextAttr : textattr
            gd_Data1,
            gd_Data2,
            gd_Data3 ]

    You will notice that the string gadget need a 4th Data. You can add this
    one in this 'onject' before compiling the module, but don't forget to add
    a 4th NIL data in ALL gadgets...

    Entries :
            Note that these entries are definied as constant.

        type : one of the ten gadgets (1..11)
                 1 = Button
                 2 = Check
                 3 = Mutual Exclude (mx)
                 4 = String
                 5 = Integer
                 6 = Slider
                 7 = Scroller
                 8 = Cycle
                 9 = Count
                10 = ListView
                11 = Palette

        flags : 13 flags are available
                1    = gadget disabled (ghosted)
                2    = no border
                4    = High Comp (?)
                8    = vertical orientation
                16   = Hot Key
                32   = No text Output
                64   = Text is displayed on the left  side of the gadget
                128  = ----------------- ------ right ------- ----------
                512  = -----------------        above         ----------
                1024 = -----------------        under         ----------
                2048 = Button toggle
                4096 = Button image
        x,y,w,h : coordinates of the gadget
        text : a pointer to a string or a dynamic string
        textattr : pointer to the TextAttributes strutures or a list

        datas :
            here are the meaning of the 3 (or 4) datas for each kind of
            gadgets :

            Button :
                data 1 : button state : 0 = not selected, 1 = selected
                data 2 : button image (not selected)
                data 3 : button image (when selected)
            Check :
                data 1 : check state : 0 = not selected, 1 = selected
                data 2 : check pad1 (?)
                data 3 : check pad2 (?)
            Mutual exclude (MX) :
                data 1 : # of pixel sepring 2 radio gadgets
                data 2 : num of the active entry
                data 3 : pointer to a text array or a 0-terminated list
            String :
                data 1 : length of the input
                data 2 : offset of the next string gadget to be activated
                data 3 : offset of the previous string gadget to be activated
                data 4 : default text that is displayed
            Integer :
                Same as String
            Slider :
                data 1 : minimum level
                data 2 : maximum level
                data 3 : current position
            Scroller :
                data 1 : # of visible entries
                data 2 : # of total entries
                data 3 : cuurent entry (the top one)
            Cycle :
                data 1 : # of pixel separing pop up cycle (?)
                data 2 : # of current cycle text pointer text array (?)
                data 3 : pointer to cycle text pointer array (?)
            Count :
                data 1 : minimum value
                data 2 : maximum value
                data 3 : current default value
            ListView :
                data 1 : # of pixel separating 2 entries
                data 2 : current entry (the top one)
                data 3 : pointer to a List structure
            Palette :
                data 1 : # of bitplanes to be displayed
                data 2 : first color in the palette (?)
                data 3 : selected color


    Example :

        DEF gadget,internalvar,txtattr,gadgetlist

        internamvar:=IgetRenderInfos(screen,RENDERINFOSFLAGS)
        txtattr:=['topaz',8,0,0] : textattr
        gad:=[  1,   0, 10, 15,120, 13,'Archiver',txtattr,0,0,0,
                3,     1,530,167,120, 13,'Suffix',txtattr,0,0,['Always',
                                                                      'Never',
                                                                      NIL],
                1,     0,370, 15,120, 13,'Debug' ,txtattr,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ] : gadgetdata

        gadgetlist:=IcreateGadgets(internalvar,gad,0,0,NIL)

    Note that you can't pass this gadgetlist in the declaration of a window..
    To display the gadget, you must call the IdisplayGadgets(window,gadgetlist)
    function.
    The same is to remove a list of gadget from a window, you must call the
    IremoveGadgets(gadgetlist) and then, if you don't want to use anymore
    this list, call IfreeGadgetList(gadgetlist).


VI      Are there other structure ?

        Yes :
    the BorderData, which allows yu to draw 3D border
    the TextData , which allows to pass text and text flags to some functions
    NOte that it is possible to make an E list of any number of Data, in the
    form of the GadgetData above.


VII     And about requesters ?

        Sorry, but I prefer to use the great ReqTools.library
    However, requester and auto resquet can be made. There is no file
    requester :(
    The structure is called 'RequesterData' :

        OBJECT RequestData [
            rd_LeftEdge,
            rd_TopEdge,
            rd_Width,
            rd_Height,
            rd_Flags,
            rd_Title,
            rd_Texts : TextAttr
            rd_Borders : BorderData
            rd_Gadgets : GadgetData ]


VIII    Do you try then menus ?

        No, not yet. May be sooner as I'm thinking :)
        The structure is named 'MenuData' :

            OBJECT MenuData [
                md_Type,
                md_Flags,
                md_Name,
                md_CommandKey,
                md_MutualExclude ]


Conclusion :

        Well this is folks ! I hope that you will enjoy using this library.
    I think more particularly to 1.3 system users like me. If some one else
    is making a 'How to use' file; pease mail it me before end of July 94
    (I'm returning to France, yes I'm French, studying in Germany !)

Does anyone have some good example sources that show how to use
"|" in E?  The only sample program that uses it is 'ReWriteGfx'
and I can't make heads or tails of its use in that program...

Have fun

Subject: Amiga Shopper


[Sorry if this has made it once already, but the list has been playing up...]

My Amiga Shopper article has made it to press!  It's in Issue 35 (March 1994)
on pages 62-63.  There's been a small amount of editing done, but all the
bad puns still seem to be there.  The article was submitted about 6 months
ago so it's a little out of date.  In particular it refers to the forth-coming
E version 2.5 (which should now be 3.0 of course).

For the uninitiated: Amiga Shopper is a UK magazine which does not review any
games, just the serious stuff.  I think it's available (mail order) around
the world (there was a recent comp.sys.amiga.review, and I think the author
was Australian).

I'd like to post the review here, but I've only got the unedited version and
I'm not sure where I'd stand on Copyright... [It's not that good, anyway!]

Subject: IntuiSup doc2

Hi all,

well, I repost the doc I wrote about the IntuiSup.library

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

IntuiSup.library                                               IntuiSup.library


                            The missing DOC


Note : this file is *NOT* a part of the IntuiSup archive. I write it only
because there are some other users who will ask them a lot of question about
using this library, and may be are as I am, a beginner in programmation.
There are some things that I don't know about this library. So don't ask me
what does one function do. It is only a summary with some comments.
the (?) means that I don't know what exactly does this function. I don't try
it yet !
This file is more a 'How to use' and 'whre to find that' file than a
technical one, where I can read nothing. All what you will read comes
directly from my own experience. There is no Doc, except a brief description
of the command.

All of this can be found in the example file semed in the archive...



I       What is the IntuiSup.library ?

        It is a gadget library compatible with all Amigas system from 1.3
    up to 3.0. It is written by Torsten J�rgenleit.
    The library can be found on Aminet sites, in the 'utils/libs' directory.


II      What does this library do more than the others ?

        Well, for 2.0+ system user, this library is only usefull in the way of
    how you program it in your code.
    For 1.3 system users, like me, it is a open door to the 2.0 system without
    having it !
    Here are the features that IntuiSup allows :

        - 3D look,
        - all 2.0 gadgets,
        - locale available under 1.3 !
        - and a Editor, but unfortunately, it produces C codes :(


III     How to link IntuiSup with Amiga E ? What about the E modules ?

        This is a critical point. The only way for E user to use an shared
    library, is to convert the pragmas and the include files into E modules.

    Pragmas : you can find the pragmas file called 'IntuiSup.h'
            Beware, there is many 'IntuiSup.h' files in the archive.
            Then use the Pragmas2module program to convert it. Place the
            resulting 'IntuiSup.m' in the EMODULES: directory.

    Include : There is no IntuiSup.i file in the package. The only way to do
            is to convert the include 'IntuiSup.h' (not the same as the
            Pragmas one) with a C processor into 'IntuiSup.i'. And then
            convert this latter file with Iconvert (which need the SAS/C
            Includes and A68k). Place the result in the 'EMODULES:Libraries/'
            directory.

    That's it for the modules !

    Note 1 : I translated these files in E modules, but modified some constants
        (They are very very long : some are 25 chars long !)

    Note 2 : In the Include file, you will find a structure for the gadgets
        with a C union within. Just erase this structure, we don't use it
        as far as we will use E lists and the GadgetData structure.


IV      Is there something special in the use of IntuiSup ?

        Yes, it is the internal variable, which is used in fast all the
    fonctions. This is the only way to the library to know where it is !
    This is because the IntuiSup modify all Intuition messages by adding
    its own. So it is not very painful to add this library in your code,
    because all message will be send through intuition. The only minor
    difference is to replace the functions GetMsg() and ReplyMsg() with
    IGetMsg() and IReply(). That's all !
    For the lists and structures, lists must be 0-terminated.
    (INTUISUP_DATA_END = 0)


V       About the gadgets, how do we code them ?

        Simple, we will use lists to create our gadget.
    The way to do it is :

    DEF gadgets

    gadgets:=[ type,flags,x,y,w,h,text,textattr,data1,data2,data3,
               type,flags,x,y,w,h,text,textattr,data1,data2,data3,
               .......
                  0,    0,0,0,0,0,   0,       0,    0,    0,    0 ]:gadgetdata


    Note that you must have at least in the 'emodules:libraries/intuisup.m'
    module the gadgetdata structure. The union can be deleted. This is the
    object equivalent to the C structure we must have :

        OBJECT GadgetData [
            gd_Types,
            gd_Flags,
            gd_LeftEdge,
            gd_Width,
            gd_Height,
            gd_Text,
            gd_TextAttr : textattr
            gd_Data1,
            gd_Data2,
            gd_Data3 ]

    You will notice that the string gadget need a 4th Data. You can add this
    one in this 'onject' before compiling the module, but don't forget to add
    a 4th NIL data in ALL gadgets...

    Entries :
            Note that these entries are definied as constant.

        type : one of the ten gadgets (1..11)
                 1 = Button
                 2 = Check
                 3 = Mutual Exclude (mx)
                 4 = String
                 5 = Integer
                 6 = Slider
                 7 = Scroller
                 8 = Cycle
                 9 = Count
                10 = ListView
                11 = Palette

        flags : 13 flags are available
                1    = gadget disabled (ghosted)
                2    = no border
                4    = Highlight with Complement colours
                8    = vertical orientation
                16   = Hot Key
                32   = No text Output
                64   = Text is displayed on the left  side of the gadget
                128  = ----------------- ------ right ------- ----------
                512  = -----------------        above         ----------
                1024 = -----------------        under         ----------
                2048 = Button toggle
                4096 = Button image
        x,y,w,h : coordinates of the gadget
        text : a pointer to a string or a dynamic string
        textattr : pointer to the TextAttributes strutures or a list

        datas :
            here are the meaning of the 3 (or 4) datas for each kind of
            gadgets :

            Button :
                data 1 : button state : 0 = not selected, 1 = selected
                data 2 : button image (not selected)
                data 3 : button image (when selected)
            Check :
                data 1 : check state : 0 = not selected, 1 = selected
                data 2 : check pad1 (?)
                data 3 : check pad2 (?)
            Mutual exclude (MX) :
                data 1 : # of pixel sepring 2 radio gadgets
                data 2 : num of the active entry
                data 3 : pointer to a text array or a 0-terminated list
            String :
                data 1 : length of the input
                data 2 : offset of the next string gadget to be activated
                data 3 : offset of the previous string gadget to be activated
                data 4 : default text that is displayed
            Integer :
                Same as String
            Slider :
                data 1 : minimum level
                data 2 : maximum level
                data 3 : current position
            Scroller :
                data 1 : # of visible entries
                data 2 : # of total entries
                data 3 : cuurent entry (the top one)
            Cycle :
                data 1 : # of pixel separing pop up cycle (?)
                data 2 : # of current cycle text pointer text array (?)
                data 3 : pointer to cycle text pointer array (?)
            Count :
                data 1 : minimum value
                data 2 : maximum value
                data 3 : current default value
            ListView :
                data 1 : # of pixel separating 2 entries
                data 2 : current entry (the top one)
                data 3 : pointer to a List structure
            Palette :
                data 1 : # of bitplanes to be displayed
                data 2 : first color in the palette (?)
                data 3 : selected color


    Example :

        DEF gadget,internalvar,txtattr,gadgetlist

        internamvar:=IgetRenderInfos(screen,RENDERINFOSFLAGS)
        txtattr:=['topaz',8,0,0] : textattr
        gad:=[  1,   0, 10, 15,120, 13,'Archiver',txtattr,0,0,0,
                3,     1,530,167,120, 13,'Suffix',txtattr,0,0,['Always',
                                                                      'Never',
                                                                      NIL],
                1,     0,370, 15,120, 13,'Debug' ,txtattr,0,0,0,
                0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 ] : gadgetdata

        gadgetlist:=IcreateGadgets(internalvar,gad,0,0,NIL)

    Note that you can't pass this gadgetlist in the declaration of a window..
    To display the gadget, you must call the IdisplayGadgets(window,gadgetlist)
    function.
    The same is to remove a list of gadget from a window, you must call the
    IremoveGadgets(gadgetlist) and then, if you don't want to use anymore
    this list, call IfreeGadgetList(gadgetlist).


VI      Are there other structure ?

        Yes :
    the BorderData, which allows yu to draw 3D border
    the TextData , which allows to pass text and text flags to some functions
    NOte that it is possible to make an E list of any number of Data, in the
    form of the GadgetData above.


VII     And about requesters ?

        Sorry, but I prefer to use the great ReqTools.library
    However, requester and auto resquet can be made. There is no file
    requester :(
    The structure is called 'RequesterData' :

        OBJECT RequestData [
            rd_LeftEdge,
            rd_TopEdge,
            rd_Width,
            rd_Height,
            rd_Flags,
            rd_Title,
            rd_Texts : TextAttr
            rd_Borders : BorderData
            rd_Gadgets : GadgetData ]


VIII    Do you try then menus ?

        No, not yet. May be sooner as I'm thinking :)
        The structure is named 'MenuData' :

            OBJECT MenuData [
                md_Type,
                md_Flags,
                md_Name,
                md_CommandKey,
                md_MutualExclude ]


Conclusion :

        Well this is folks ! I hope that you will enjoy using this library.
    I think more particularly to 1.3 system users like me. If some one else
    is making a 'How to use' file; pease mail it me before end of July 94
    (I'm returning to France, yes I'm French, studying in Germany !)

Subject: ARRAY OF OBJECT

Hi all,

I use the filerequest of the ReqTools.library. Having the MULTISELECT tag set
to ON. I want to save the list of the files wich is in the rtfilelist structure

I try to make a object with 2 string item in it. That's work fine. But it is
only for one file... (path and name). How could I make an array of this object
I try to declare my array as an ARRAY OF myobject. I always have a GURU.

Here is an example, I don't know if this runs (it is a 'souvenir'), but you
will quickly understand, what I mean :)

    OBJECT myobject
        path : LONG,
        NAME : LONG
    ENDOBJECT

    DEF myarray[10] : ARRAY OF LONG

    PROC main()
        path:=String(20)
        name:=String(30)
    /* etc... */
    ENDPROC
Does anybody have a suggestion ? or have another way to do it.

Note : I want to make with this list a list View...

Thanx, bye !

By popular demand, or so it seems...

Gadtools ListView Example.  This isn't intuisup, Olivier,
but I would imagine you could apply the same concepts.

UUencoded since it's _just_ over 200 lines.

Enjoy.

Hmm, O.k. I'll check it out. I'll post another msg with the routine that

Is there any special things I should be looking for when I
"InitIFFasDOS"?

(-5) is a stream read error...

I wonder if the problem isn't because the iff_stream portion of the
structure isn't being initialized properly in the RKM example.

I'm currently doing something like this...

Open (file,...
PutLong (iff.stream,file)

/* set up my propchunks here */

err:=ParseIFF(iff)

IF err<>0 THEN boom(err)

etc...

As I said, I'll post the code later.

Subject: Egads.e (from dev/e in Aminet)

Is it just my machine or is anyone having trouble compiling this? It keeps
choking at the first DEF statement with an "unknown object identifier" error.
I don't know what the problem is, certainly the code before that references
all the modules properly. Barry, anyone?

    Ok, I have tried that. But, before I waste your time with my code,
I'll load the code with debug statements pointing to the error. (It's
quite obvious where the memory is dissapearing when you load it with
enough debug code.)

    No doubt. (I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!)
