WPSHELL is a collection of Workplace Shell samples. The samples are pre-release versions of the Workplace Shell samples to be released with a future OS/2 Toolkit.
The following samples are provided:
o BROWSE
The Browse-O-Matic sample displays file-system objects in a hex or text format in a PM window.
o TEXT FOLDER
The TextFolder sample allows only Plain Text objects to be placed in the folder. Objects that aren't Plain Text are rejected. Objects are considered to be Plain Text if the Associated Type in the Settings is set to Plain Text. If no type is set, the folder checks the first 500 bytes. If any characters are control- or extended- ASCII characters, the object is rejected.
o WPS TUTOR
The WPS Tutor sample explains the order in which object methods are invoked by the Workplace Shell. As a method for the sample object class is executed, the method's name and a description of its function are displayed in a Presentation Manager window.
This object class subclasses the WPDataFile class. Most WPS instance and class methods are overridden so that information about the methods can be displayed to the user.
This sample is designed to be more of a tutorial for Workplace Shell programming than a programming exercise.
