The assmebly support macros for the bgui.library operate simular to the C
versions of the macros. There are a couple of exceptions though:
o The macro require V38.3 of the library! This is due to the usage of the
GROUP_Inverted and PAGE_Inverted tags. The stuff will work on lower
versions only the GUI is inverted (I.E. The last object will be first and
the first object last).
o The layout macros:
FixMinWidth
FixMinHeight
Weight
FixWidth
FixHeight
Align
FixMinSize
FixSize
NoAlign
In the C and E macro support these can be specified directly after a
EndObject macro. In the assembly macros these can only be specified after
the EndMember macro. This must be done on the same line e.g.:
C version:
StartMember,
Button( "Hello", 0 ), FixMinHeight,
EndMember
Asm version:
StartMember
Button hello,0
Endmember FixMinHeight
hello: dc.b 'Hello',0
Also when you specify more than one layout macro you must seperate them by
a comma:
C version:
StartMember,
Button( "Hello", 0 ), FixMinHeight, Weight( 100 ),
EndMember
Asm version:
Startmember
Button hello,0
EndMember FixMinHeight,,Weight,100
hello: dc.b 'Hello',0
Please note the double comma between FixMinHeight and Weight. The EndMember
macro is interpreted like this:
EndMember [macro1,argmacro1,macro2,argmacro2,...]
So if the layout macro specified does not require an argument you still
need to pass an empty argument. Upto seven macro/arg pairs can be passed.
o The HGroupObject and VGroupObject automatically pass a GROUP_Inverted tag.
The PageObject macro automatically passes a PAGE_Inverted tag. Do not
change this or your GUI will be created with the first object at the end of
the window. If you create custom group or page macros please make sure that
you add these tags.
o The following macros are to be found in the assembly macros which you will
not find in the C and E macros:
DOMETHOD object,methodID[,arg1,args2,...]
This macro will invoke method 'methodID' on object 'object'. Upto
eight extra arguments can be passed to this macro. This should be
enough for most methods.
DOGADGETMETHOD object,win,req,methodID[,arg1,arg2,...]
The same as the DOMETHOD macro only this will call BGUI_DoGadgetMethod
and add a GadgetInfo structure to the method so that the object can
do visual updates. This macro can take upto six extra arguments.
PUTC value1[,value2,...]
This macro pushes upto 15 immediate or absolute values on the stack.
The value you pass will get a '#' prepended to it so only immediate
and absolute values are allowed. All object creation macros use this
macro.
PUTV value1[,value2,...]
The same as PUTC only the values will not get a '#' prepended so you
can add all sorts of data to the stack.
For the rest the assembly macros should be pretty straight forward. Please
look at the supplied demo program "Demo.s"
Enjoy,
