FileRequest(39.0) ARP Programmers Manual FileRequest(39.0)
ADDENDUM FOR
FileRequest -- Get filename from user
ADDITIONS IN V1.3
The main change in the FileRequest() function for V1.3 of
ARP is the addition of of the ArpAllocFreq() call as the
preferred method to allocate and initialize the input data
structure. Use of the ArpAllocFreq() call insures upward
compatability for future ARP releases. If you do NOT use
ArpAllocFreq(), do not expect your calls to FileRequest to
work under V1.4 of AmigaDOS and beyond. See "ArpAllocFreq"
for usage notes.
The "fr_reserved2" longword field, which had been initialized
to ZERO under V1.1 of ARP, is now used to specify the Left
and TOP edge offsets desired. If initialized to ZERO, the
file request will be displayed at the default position, but
if the application puts LeftEdge and TopEdge values into
the fr_LeftEdge and fr_TopEdge fields, the request will be
brought up at the requested position, offset by one pixel so
that (1,0) will actually position the request at (0,0).
See "ArpBase.h" for a description of the FileRequester data
structure. Note that the desired field is still defined as
"LONG fr_reserved2" in "arpbase.i", left as an exercise
for the assembly language programmer.
In V1.3, the invalid return values for fr_Function() calls
has been fixed so developers can use the FRF_DoWildFunc
function call.
Note that use of the fr_Function() calls to alter the window
using the NewWindFunc and AddGadFunc callbacks is not
guaranteed to work under V1.4 of AmigaDOS.
