TOOLBAR2
DESCRIPTION:
The Tool Bar Sample 2 demonstrates multiple toolbars and direct
manipulation (ie. drag/drop) of toolbars and toolbar buttons
within a simple editor. The File toolbar, Cut/Copy/Paste Edit
toolbar, and the Font toolbar locations and attributes can be
modified in the Toolbar notebook under the Options menu item.
Toolbar buttons appear as bitmaps, bitmaps and text, or just
text. In addition, a toolbar can be positioned on top, bottom,
left, right, free floating, or hidden. Toolbars can be dragged
to new locations within the application or dragged outside the
application to create a free floating toolbar. Toolbar buttons
can also be dragged to reorder the buttons in a toolbar, move the
button to a different toolbar, or delete the button from the
toolbar. The File and Edit menu items can also be dragged to a
toolbar and a representative toolbar button is created. Classed
used include IToolBar, IToolBarButton, IFlyText,
IFlyOverHelpHandler, and IMultiLineEdit.
PROJECT LOCATION:
Inside the IOC Samples folder (inside the VisualAge C++ Samples
folder).
SOURCE FILE LOCATION:
X:\ibmcpp\samples\ioc\tbar2
where X: is the drive you installed the samples and document
component of VisualAge C++.
HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE:
FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
To run the prebuilt project, open the Samples folder on your
OS/2 desktop then double-click on the project's icon to open
the project view of the sample. Click on the RUN button of
the project's toolbar.
FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
Simply type the name of the .EXE file, that is:
TBAR2
If the sample fails to execute or abnormally ends, you can
get more information about the failure by turning on the
ICLUI trace. This is done by setting the environment
variable ICLUI_TRACE as follows:
set ICLUI_TRACE=ON
set ICLUI_TRACETO=STDERR
The second export controls where the trace information is
reported. With tracing turned on, ICLUI exception text will
be written to a standard error file. For example:
hello1 >hello1.out 2>&1
The exception data is now in the file hello1.out.
HOW TO BUILD THE SAMPLE PROJECT YOURSELF:
FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
Open the Samples folder on your OS/2 desktop then
double-click on the project's icon to open the project view
of the sample. In the upper half of the project window you
will see the icons of the files associated with the sample.
From the Project pulldown, select Build -> Rebuild All. To run
the sample project, see HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE PROJECT above.
FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
- A command file is provided to allow rebuilding of the
WorkFrame projects from the command line. Simply type:
BUILD
To run the sample project, see HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE PROJECT
above.
- The sample application can also be built by entering:
NMAKE
with no options while in the directory containing the
sample application files. The makefile is named
Makefile
To clean up the files generated from running make, enter:
NMAKE CLEAN
while in the directory containing the sample program files.
SOFTWARE/HARDWARE PREREQUISITES:
o IBM VisualAge C++
o OS/2 2.1 or Warp
o IBM or compatible 386 and up.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
o For more information on the creation and use of projects in
the WorkFrame environment, see the VisualAge C++ for OS/2
User's Guide.
o For more information on the User Interface Classes, see the
VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Open Class Library User's Guide.
Both books can be found online. To access an online book, simply
open the main VisualAge C++ desktop folder, then open the
Information Folder inside. To view a book, double-click on that
book's icon.
