MNIcon - enhanced icon class for the Workplace Shell (release 1.0: 02/21/93)
"MNIcon" class is a replacement for the default "WPIcon" class. It adds the
'drag & drop' functionality to the icon class so that, to set the icon of an
object, you can simply drag and drop it on an icon file (*.ICO).
(Should this reach IBM: please include this kind of feature in OS/2 2.1 !)
The archive contains the following files:
MNIcon.doc this file
MNIcon.c class source
MNIcon.csc SOM class definition
MNIcon.dll class dll
install.cmd installation script
This program is a freeware; I hope this tiny gadget will make the already great
Workplace Shell even easier and more fun to use.
1. Installation
1) copy MNIcon.dll to a directory listed in your LIBPATH (e.g.,
C:\OS2\DLL);
2) execute "install.cmd" script.
2. Usage
To set the icon of an (non-icon) object to the icon of a *.ICO file,
1) open a view of the folder containing the *.ICO file so that you can
see the icon;
2) drag the object and drop it on the icon of the *.ICO file.
You can drop multiple objects on an icon.
You cannot drop a *.ICO icon file object on another *.ICO icon file object.
3. Compilation
This program is compiled with IBM C Set/2 (with ToolKit). To re-build,
type "nmake -f MNIcon.mak".
3. Note
This program has been tested on OS/2 2.0 with Service Pack.
Although the program seems working so far, please use it at your own risk.
