WPPrgExt Workplace Shell Object Class Ver 1.5
Copyright (C) 1993 by Yong D. Lee (ydlee@cs.ukans.edu)
-------------------- Disclaimer ---------------------------
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. WPPrgExt and its author will not be
responsible for any damages caused by using this program.
The code is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind.
The author shall not be liable for any damages arising out
of your use of this program, even if he or she has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.
--------------------- Description -------------------------
This is a descendent class for WPS WPProgram object class
with option to close the parent folder when opening settings
notebook or starting program.
You can set the behavior by opening the settings notebook,
and set the check box in the Folder page at the end of
the notebook.
You can also close parent folder by pressing shift key
(either left or right) while starting program or opening
settings notebook. Pessing shift key will override the setting
in the settings notebook and always close the parent folder.
This program is tested only on OS/2 2.1. I am not sure
if it will work on OS/2 2.0.
------------------ WARNING (known problems) ---------------
If shift key is pressed while double-clicking on a folder
(program), it will open a object which has focus at
that time. That is, even though you double-click on
object A while object B is currently selected, it will
open object B anyway if shift key is pressed. This can be
annoying, but it's the behavior of WPS, and I don't know
how to change it.
-------------------- Installation -------------------------
If you have not installed previous version of WPPrgExt
class
1. Copy wpprgext.dll to the directory x:\OS2\DLL where
x is your os/2 system drive letter.
2. Type install x where x is your os/2 system drive letter.
3. Shutdown and reboot.
If you have installed previous version of WPPrgExt class
1. Type deinstl.
2. Shutdown and reboot.
3. Copy wpprgext.dll to the directory x:\OS2\DLL where
x is your os/2 system drive letter.
4. Type install x where x is your os/2 system drive letter.
5. Shutdown and reboot.
or
Just replace wpprgext.dll in your /os2/dll directory. You
should boot from the installation diskette or use a utility
like shiftrun to be able to copy the file over.
Now all your program objects on the desktop should have
additional settings page named "Folder" in the notebook.
--------------------- Deinstallation ----------------------
1. Type deinstl.
2. Shutdown and reboot.
This will restore original WPProgram class.
---------------------- Distribution -----------------------
This program and it's code be freely distributed as long
