* 3D Macros for FoxPro/W, (C) 1993, Steve Aylor - JSA/Micro
Don't spend hundreds of dollars on similar utilities, or change Genscrn.prg,
just load these macros and you've got everything you need to create dazzling
screens.
These macros were inspired by the September 1993 issue of FoxPro Advisor, a
must for every serious FoxPro developer.
******************************
* INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS *
******************************
Copy the following files to your FoxPro/W directory:
Threed.fky
3D.exe
That's all there it to it.
HOW TO USE 3D MACROS:
From the FoxPro/W main menu choose Program... Macros...
Then click Restore...
Choose Threed.fky (The macros are now loaded)
To prepair the screen for the 3D macros Press ALT-0, you must press ALT-0
before you begin each screen.
You can have these macros load every time you start FoxPro by saving them as
the default macros.
3D MACRO KEYS:
ALT-0 = Prepair Scrn Builder ALT-8 = Raised, Light
ALT-1 = Inset, 1-Line ALT-CTRL-8 = Raised, Dark
ALT-2 = Panel, 1-Line ALT-9 = Recessed, Light
ALT-3 = Inset, 2-Line ALT-CTRL-9 = Recessed, Dark
ALT-4 = Panel, 2-Line
ALT-5 = Text, Noontime ALT-R = Raised
ALT-6 = Text, Blocked ALT-H = High-Rise
ALT-I = Inset
CTRL-F1 = Help ALT-D = Deep-Set
ALT-S = Shadow
TIPS:
1. Group Objects immediately after they have been created to keep them
together.
2. Use fonts that are common to all of your users - fonts that are not
available to your users will be converted to the (alphabetically) closest
font in the font list.
3. Use ALT-Print Screen to capture the screen and convert non-standard fonts
to bitmaps. Then display them as bitmaps.
4. Use Noon Time (ALT-S) to create deeper 3D effects with larger fonts. Move
the top layer up one to create the "3D Tips!" effect.
5. With ALT-6, use any color other than black. ALT-8 (9) and ALT-CTRL-8 (9)
work best with colors other than dark grey.
6. With ALT-1, ALT-2, ALT-3 and ALT-4 overlap circles and rectangles and
select them all to create interesting 3D effects.
7. Experiment, you can create some interesting effects by trying different
things.
