RES2TEMP 0.01 - Convert Resource files to Template files
Msg entry
---------
This is a simple application that I knocked up as part of my learning to
program Acorn's User Interface Toolbox. It's purpose is simple enough: when
a Toolbox Resource file is dragged to its icon bar icon, it will output a
Templates file containing copies of all the Window objects defined in that
Resource file.
Why? you might ask. Indeed. Well, I quite like ResEd, and I thought it was a
shame that you couldn't use it to design Template files as well as Resource
files. So I wrote this. Unfortunately the resulting template definitions
aren't ideal, because of some of the internal workings of the Window
module. For example, option and radio buttons are actually two separate
icons (one for the button, one for the text), and writable fields depend
on the application handling cursor key movement between icons.
Nevertheless, this might possibly prove useful in knocking up Style Guide
compliant window definitions.
