- Dragme 1.0 © G.C.Wraith (25/08/95)
-
- The applications !Index and !SetCSD both use Dragme.
-
- Dragme puts an icon on the iconbar. When this icon is
- dragged into a directory, an action file (called !RunImage
- in these examples) is called with the directory's
- pathname as a parameter. In !SetCSD !RunImage is an Obey file.
- In !Index !RunImage is a Basic file.
-
- Dragme requires:
-
- # a template file called Templates with a window called info.
- # an action file - !RunImage
- # a sprite to put on the icon bar
- # a sprite to use for dragging
- # a name for the task display
- # a title for the iconbar menu
-
- These requirements can be edited, using Zap or Edit, for
- example. Look for the -> or <- signs to indicate where they
- occur. Remember that the taskname, menu title, and sprite
- names must be padded out with ASCII null codes to make up
- precisely 12 characters. Similarly, the edited template and
- action file names should be padded with blank spaces so as to
- take up exactly the same space as the previous names. Yes, it is
- a lazy way out.
-
- I hope you find Dragme useful for your own programs.
