- Description:
-
- WimpExtension is designed to make the task of programming the Wimp easier. It
- also enables you to use 3D icons (like Impression). It is designed to enable
- you, when you are writing your programs, to think less 'It's a Desktop
- program' and more 'It's a program to do ...'.
-
- You use WimpExtension by a set of SWI (BASIC's SYS) commands. There are calls
- to put icons on the iconbar, to change the pointer shape, to pop icons in and
- out, link windows so they move about together (for toolboxes and
- windows-in-windows), there are facilities for options window handling, for
- dialogue boxes, for controlling indirected icons, for loading templates, for
- colour menus, for RAM templates, for dragging icons, for menu handling, for
- draw-files and sprites, for immediate windows, for memory management, etc.,
- etc.
