BoilerPlate is a program which gets you started on a new OWL program by
generating the appropriate boiler plate code. With BoilerPlate, you start
by using Resource Workshop or WRT to design your primary resources (menu,
accelerator, cursor, etc). BoilerPlate then uses the resource file (and
additional information you supply) to generate code for your application
and main window objects, skeleton methods for menu selections, window
message handlers, etc. You'll be able to compile and run the code but
until you flesh out the skeleton routines, it won't do much.
Here's the files included in this package:
BLRPLATE.EXE The main program
BLRPLATE.HLP Its help file
The following are data files which BoilerPlate needs
SKEL.DAT Skeleton source file
MESSAGES.DAT Info on wm_xxxx messages
NOTIF.DAT Info on notification methods
PROCS.DAT Info on OWL methods
Two demo RES, INC files for experimentation
TDLGW.RES A TDlgWindow demo
TDLGW.INC Its include
TWIND.RES A TWindow demo
TWIND.INC Its Include
BLRPLATE.DOC Doc file
README This file
Installation
BLRPLATE.EXE, BLRPLATE.HLP, and all the .DAT file should be copied to a
single directory. The remaining files are optional. To run BoilerPlate,
use the File|Run command from Program Manager. You can also install
BoilerPlate as an icon with Program Manager's File|New.
The DOC file is formatted to print using the DOS COPY command. To print
the docs, line up the paper in the printer so the top of the paper is
just under the print head. From the DOS prompt:
>COPY BLRPLATE.DOC PRN<enter>
The use of BoilerPlate is free. However, if you find it useful, have
suggestions, or find bugs, I'd like to hear from you. Future support,
changes will probably depend on how useful it turns out to be.
Source code for BoilerPlate is available for $20 (need not be sent in
advance).
