===========================================================================
1. Many changes and improvements have been made to the Knowledge
Base of CASE:PM since it's initial release. As a result, the code
generated by the product is different than that of the previous
version.
We have made it possible for you to take advantage of these
improvements in your current work, even if you have started
adding your own code to the generated source, using our regeneration
feature. Through this facility, the code we have generated will
be replaced by the equivelant code from the newer Knowledge
Base, preserving code you have added.
To do this, first make a backup of all files involved with the
application (just in case!). Next, load the appropriate .WIN file
and select Generate. When asked whether you wish to generate or
re-generate, choose RE-GENERATE. Once this process is complete,
load your source and check to make sure that your added code is still
where you expect it.
If any code seems to be missing, Check the hard disk for a file with a
.CUL extension. Code in this file was 'lost' in that CASE:PM was not able
to figure out where it should go in the new application. Use your editor
to integrate any code in this file back into the application. It should be
noted that should a problem occur bringing an application up-to-date,
that it will be a one time occurrance. Once this code is re-integrated into
the application, Regeneration still be able to keep track of the code
as if it were originally created with this version.
2. This release of CASE:PM is capable of reading the output files
from CASE:W Corporate Edition for Windows 3.0. If you intend to use
this feature to generate applications for both platforms, you should be
aware of the following:
- CASE:PM 2.1 will convert the Windows dialogs to PM resources.
see the documentation addendum for a complete explanation of this
facility.
- In converting dialogs, the size of entry fields may not come across
correctly. These can be adjusted by modifying the appropriate .DLG
file with an editor, or by compiling the .DLG file with the resource
compiler for use with the dialog editor. To accomplish this, first
add the following line or two to the top of the .DLG file:
#include <os2.h>
#inlcude "dlghdr.h" (if your dialog uses a .h or header file,
replace the text in quotes with it's
name.)
Next, compile the .DLG file with the resource compiler with the
following command:
RC -R DLGNAME.DLG where DLGNAME.DLG is the name of the .DLG
file your working on.
The result of this compile will be a .RES file that shares the same
name as your dialog (.DLG) file. This file can then be loaded into
the dialog editor and modified.
