-----------------------------------------------------------------------
TSDWIN.LIB, an Interface Library specifically designed to be
used with Clipper 5.01, is being developed and distributed
through the Shareware concept.
TSDWIN is a Clipper programming tool designed to allow
the user to create a complex user interface with minimum
effort. TSDWIN does not interfere with the specific design of
any application. TSD Ltd. makes every attempt to ensure that
the programmer has complete control over the design of his
interface. TSDWIN just frees the task from much of the
everyday book-keeping.
All its functions are configurable by the programmer. The
library ensures consistency of various video components
(colour, cursor shape and position, window border, window
shadow, headers and footers, fill characters) with any function
call to the library. It also makes any standard Clipper output
function available through a library function call to ensure
proper colour and screen/window placement on the display.
TSDWIN is a granular library. The 'Kernel' functions, which are
necessary in order to use the minimum capabilities of TSDWIN,
occupy about 23K. Any other functions are linked only if
called. TSDWIN uses the so-called 'object' structure which
became possible with the array capabilities introduced in
Clipper 5.0. However, in order that Clipper programmers can
make the transition easily, TSDWIN function calls are done in
the normal manner. Header files allowing Object calling
conventions will be made available later.
TSDWIN makes use of several 'C' and 'ASM' routines to speed
processing. There are several extra classes included which are
derived from the window class. Three different types of
messaging functions are available through calls to the
functions in the Message, Area Message and Alert Message
classes. The Alert message class forms part of a DialogBox
Class to be released in early fall. That class will attempt to
make Windows 3.0 operating methods ( both keyboard and mouse )
available in a simple way to Clipper programmers. While the
interface will be text mode, the default methods for user
manipulation will be familiar to Windows 3.0 users.
In TSDWIN V1.50 there have been many extensions to the browse
functions as well as the addition of automatic mouse supoort
for most TSDWIN operations.
TSDWIN can be purchased in one of 3 ways:
a. Library only. ($75.00 US)
b. Library and MAXI functions source ( Functions which
make calls to the kernel ) ($115.00 US)
c. Library and complete source ($180.00 US)
For more information or to purchase TSDWIN please contact by
