Short: Example C code for using LockIBase()
Uploader: dcross@mail.netshop.net (DC Ross)
Author: dcross@mail.netshop.net (DC Ross)
Type: dev/c
Requires: Workbench 2.0+
Distribution: Public Domain
IBase.c
programmed by DC Ross (e-mail: dcross@mail.netshop.net)

Description:
This is a little programme I wrote today to test the functions LockIBase()
and UnlockIBase(). By using a copy of IntuitionBase, you can access quite a
few useful feature of Intuition, such as the addresses of all Intuition
Screens and Windows (should work with CUSTOM and PUBLIC screens; I have only
tested PUBLIC). Handy if you want your window to open on a screen with a
specific name.
I haven't bothered to look through my old Workbench 1.3 Includes to see
if this can be made to work on Workbench 1.2/1.3. If I ever feel I need
this programme on my Workbench 1.3 A500 I will try to figure it out, but
until then, you are on your own for Wb1.3 compatability.
This code was created using the very sparce information in the ROM Kernal
Reference Manual: Libraries 3rd Edition for Workbench 2.04. The information
can be found in Chapter 11: Intuition Special Functions on page 283.
Send any comments, bug reports, suggestions, etc. to me via e-mail:
dcross@mail.netshop.net.
Compiling:
Used SAS/C 6.00 with the default options in SCOptions. Doesn't need math
or any other special options set.
Requirements:
Workbench/Kickstart 2.x+ (tested on Wb3.0)
Any CPU
256K+ memory
Release Notes:
This small example programme is placed on the Public Domain. I accept no
responsibility for any damage/loss. Use at your own risk.
Feel free to use any/all of this code in your own work.
