Balloons.ext is an external package for use with 4th Dimension. It is a
freeware utility that enables localized Balloon Help and changing Balloon
Help messages during runtime. With the package, you can display text from
string resources and 4th Dimension variables. You can also display styled
text and pictures.



T o   i n s t a l l   t h e   p a c k a g e

Copy the package with the 4D External Mover into your structure file. The
package will work with 4D Server, 4th Dimension 3.0 or higher and System
7.0 or higher.



T o   u s e   t h e   p a c k a g e

You do not need to call any external procedures. The package installs
itself automatically during startup. You can specify Balloon Help for
objects in a layout by clicking the 'Balloon Help' button in the object
info dialog. See the 4D Design Reference for details. You can specify
dynamic balloon help the same way as you would do it for static text
elements.



R e s o u r c e   B a l l o o n s

To display the contents of a STR# resource, say string 1 of resource 15000,
you set the Balloon Help text to

    :15000,1

The STR# resource should be in your structure or .res file, otherwise no
balloon will be shown.

To display the contents of a PICT resource, say resource 15000, you set the
Balloon Help text to

    :P15000

To display the contents of a styled text resource, say resource 15000, you
set the Balloon Help text to

    :T15000

Styled text resources are a combination of 'TEXT' and 'styl' resources.
They can be created easily with ResEdit.

To display the contents of a 'STR ' resource, say 15000, you set the
Balloon help text to

    :S15000


V a r i a b l e   B a l l o o n s

Displaying variables enables you to change the balloon help message
according to the state of your program. For example, if a checkbox is
checked you might display a different help message for it then when it is
unchecked. This significantly improves the effectiveness of balloon help.
To display the value of a 4D variable, say myVariable, you set the Balloon
Help text to

    <myVariable>

The balloon will show the value of process and interprocess (=D7) variables
of type C_STRING or C_TEXT. If the variable is not defined (e.g. in Design
Mode), or not of the correct type, the balloon will display the name of the
variable. If the variable is of type C_TEXT, only the first 255 characters
of the text will be shown.

Subject: BLOBMgr v.1.0

Liam,

This is version 1.0 of BLOBMgr. It should go to the 4d archive.
Here is a short description of the package:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

4th Dimension(R) provides a big variety of data types: text, numeric,
date, time, pictures and even subfiles! However, it lacks a binary
variable-length data type known as BLOB (BINARY LARGE OBJECT).
BLOBs are quite common in other DBMSes and they are mostly used for
storing disk files in databases.

BLOBMgr External Kit is a set of routines that give 4th Dimension(R) the
capability of storing (and retrieving) any kind of Macintosh(R) disk
files in the form of BLOBs. Picture variables and fields are used for
storing BLOBs.

Funny you should say that I was going to send it to you anyway. :-) I
didn't include the ACI one simply because this one does more. The ACI one
used a default box size when you were dragging and could only handle I
think 10 active drop areas. This one has two commands one draggs the text
wiht a default box the other takes the dimentions of the drag box as
parameters and doesn't have a maximun limit. The package includes some more
stuff as well.

HierMenus
AddHMenu(Int1;Int2;Str3;Str4;Int5)

This external adds a hierarchical menu onto a menu item in a normal 4D menu.

Int1 is the "Parent" menu ID.
Int2 is the "Parent" item ID.
Str3 is the title for the submenu (this is unused now, pass anything.)
Str4 is the Item list for the submenu (items in a string separated by semicolons, metacharacters can be used.)

Use this external ONLY with menus that will be trapped for using the Menu Selected command (i.e. menus you would use while in a layout procedure.)  The submenu items cannot call 4D globals!

eg.
AddHMenu(2;3;"title";
                            "One;Two;Three";5)

will add a submenu to item 3 of menu 2 (the one immediately after  the "Edit" menu).  The submenu will contain three items, labeled "One", "Two", and "Three".  Any menu selection in the submenu will return a menu ID of 5.

Some Metacharacters are

"!" - item has a check mark eg. "!%"
"/" - item has a kbd equiv. eg "/A"
"(" -  item is disabled
"-" - item is a dividing line

Subject: PictBundle 1.1.1

Dang,I just don't seem to be able to get this quite right. Last week I sent
version 1.1.1 with a bug fix.

Here's yet another upload.

THIS UPLOAD CONTAINS NO BUG FIXES OR NEW FEATURES OR ANY CODE CHANGES AT ALL.

But it does have the *!@# Finder comment and External Mover comment edited so
they say 1.1.1 instead of 1.1

Argh.

I decided to correct this oversight and send it to avoid confusion in the
future. You might wish to post a notice explaining to those who downloaded a
file that was described as being 1.1.1 in the library, that they do not need to
download this latest upload. They probably should do a Get Info on the external
file and edit the Finder comment to avoid future confusion.

Sorry.

From: [e-mail] (Brian Hutchison)
Subject: PlayString External update

This is an update to the PlayString external for 4th Dimension. The
original had occasional crashing problems when used with the new Apple
Sound Manager 3.0. This file should replace the original in the appropriate
archive.

PlayString is a free and simple external procedure for 4th Dimension that
will play sounds associated with characters in a string. The sounds and
characters used by PlayString are user configurable. PlayString also allows
control of the Macintosh sound volume.

Some possible uses are:

     Dialing the phone
     Reading characters aloud
     Creating Voicemail-type messages

Enjoy!

I believe the modifier keys are cumulative i.e. for command-shift you would

Subject: other stuff

ReadWriteVar, $25 shareware, read and write variables to external files. This
covers a lot of functionality already available in 4D, but:

1)  It uses regular Mac OS file references, not 4D's bizarro document
references, whatever they are, so you can use normal OS calls on the files if
you wish to do something not provided in this package.

2) When you ask it to write an array, it writes the whole array out, very
quickly. As opposed to 4D, where it just writes out the integer corresponding
to the current selection and you have to write a loop to write out the
elements. It's 20-50 times faster than the equivalent compiled 4D code for text
arrays, which is the worst case. Arrays of fixed-length items are much faster.

no additional calls needed.

Subject: Timers BinHex

Timers, free, uses the Time Manager to get accurate timings with a
resolution of at most a millisecond, down to 20 microseconds,
depending on your hardware.  Much more precise and accurate than
counting ticks because it doesn't get "paused" if interrupts are
disabled. Includes Think C source code.
