Thanks for taking the time to evaluate EditField. In case you are new to
the QB4 environment, this document will, hopefully, get you started using
the EditField routine.
All of the documention needed to use the routine is in the EDITTEST.BAS file.
The EDITFLD.BAS and STATLINE.BAS files are heavily commented to help others
follow how my mind works (Good Luck!).
First, be sure the following files are on the current drive (floppy systems)
or in the current subdirectory (hard disk systems):
EDITFLD.BAS
STATLINE.BAS
EDITTEST.BAS
KBD.OBJ (From the ADVBAS Library)
XQPRINT.OBJ (From the ADVBAS Library)
CALCATTR.OBJ (From the ADVBAS Library)
Next, be sure that BC, LIB, and LINK are in the current DOS PATH. Now,
type in the following commands:
BC EDITFLD; (ENTER) 'Compiles EditField into an .OBJ file
BC STATLINE; (ENTER) 'Compiles StatLine into an .OBJ file
LIB EDIT (ENTER) 'Now, put the above .OBJ files into a .LIB
(You should be prompted that this library does not exist. You will
then be asked if you would like to create it. Answer: Y)
At the "Operations" prompt, type:
+XQPRINT.obj +KBD.OBJ +CALCATTR.OBJ +EDITFLD.OBJ +STATLINE.OBJ (ENTER)
At the "List File" prompt, press (ENTER).
Now you have a .LIB format library containing all of the necessary routines
to run EDITTEST.BAS. All that is left is to create a QuickLibrary so that
you may run the test-bed program from within the QB4 environment.
At the DOS prompt type:
link edit.lib,,,bqlb40.lib/q (ENTER)
Now, all you have to do is type "QB EDITTEST /L EDIT" and this will bring
the test-bed program up in the environment.
An alternative procedure, would be to simply include KBD.OBJ and XQPRINT.OBJ
in the EDIT.LIB and EDIT.QLB. Then type "QB EDITTEST /L EDIT"
Once in the environment, you can then "Load" EDITFLD.BAS and STATLINE.BAS
and be able to look through the source code for all three of the basic
modules.
The detail in this document assumes that you already have experience building
and maintaining .LIB & .QLB libraries. If you have any problem getting the
routines up and running, you are welcome to give Programmer's Information
Exchange BBS a call at (404) 928-0033. Join the QuickBASIC conference (#1)
and leave a comment to the Sysop describing your problem in as much detail
as possible.
Please remember, you MAY NOT distribute modified versions of the code
in this package. If you have a bug-fix or you have made an enhancement,
upload it to P.I.E. BBS as a private file. Include a seperate documentation
file describing your changes. On the next release, you will be credited in
the EditField documentation and the HISTORY file with the change.
I have put allot of time into this routine. Please do not make me regret
distributing the source by violating the conditions of release.
Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions!
