  11.  
  12.     This class is now open source, I have included the sourcecode in this
  13. archive. Please see the "COPYING" file for the details of the GNU GPL and
  14. what it means to the distribution of this archive.

  16.  
  17.     TWFmultiLED is a fairly simple implementation of a "LED-like" indicator
  18. which provides the programmer with a new method for communicating program
  19. state to the user. Unlike other similar implementations, TWFmultiLED allows
  20. both the user and programmer to specify both the shape of the indicator and
  21. it's colour.
  22.  
  23.     Via the preferences program the user can specify the RGB makeup of the 6
  24. internal colours (used to represent the states "Off", "On", "Ok", "Loading",
  25. "Error" and "Panic") and the default shape of the indicator. The programmer
  26. can abide by the user's choice of shape, or override it and use one of the
  27. other shapes. The programmer can also set the indicator to any of the 6 user
  28. defined colours or to a custom colour the programmer specifies.
  29.  
  30. TWFmultiLED's features include:
  31.  
  32.     - 10 user definable "preset" colours.
  33.     - 1 programmer definable colour (specified by RGB value)
  34.     - 6 possible shapes:
  35.  
  36.            5 pixel diameter circle
  37.           11 pixel diameter circle
  38.          5x5 square
  39.        11x11 square
  40.         11x5 rectangle
  41.        13x11 rectangle
  42.  
  43.     - Shape can be set by the user or, if required, by the programmer.
  44.     - Automatic turn off after a user or programmer definable delay.
  45.  
  46. Latest updates available from the support site at
  47.

  49.  
  50.  
  51. TWFmultiLED.mcc changes since v12.4
  52.  
  53.     - Fixed enforcer hits in Set() method caused by MUIM_GetConfigItem being
  54.       used before the app was valid.
  55.  
  56.     - TimeOut is not retriggered if colour is set to 0.
  57.  
  58.     - Added range check to timeout period.
  59.  
  60.     - Timeout now actually works properly (It was not activated if the timeout
  61.       was specified during initialisation.
  62.  
  63.  
  64. TWFmultiLED.mcp changes since v12.5
  65.  
  66.     - Added test page to preferences
