- WORKPLACE SHELL SAMPLE README
- -----------------------------
-
- This sample application is a beta version of a sample to be released
- with the OS/2 Toolkit. The WPS Tutor sample helps the user understand
- 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 to the user 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.
-
- This Workplace Shell sample can be used by installing it using the
- INSTALL.CMD file located in this subdirectory. This installation
- procedure copies the required DLLs and executable files to the
- appropriate TKBETA subdirectories. The procedure assumes that your
- CONFIG.SYS file has already been modified so that the WPS classes can
- be found. For example,
-
- TKBETA\OS2BIN should be in PATH
- TKBETA\DLL should be in LIBPATH
- TKBETA\OS2HELP should be in HELP
- TKBETA\OS2LIB should be in LIB
-
- INSTALL.CMD registers the class with the Workplace Shell. Also, an
- instance of this object class is created on the desktop.
-
- The OS/2 Toolkit Version 2.x is required to build the sample.
- A makefile (with the extension .MAK) is supplied with the sample.
- This file references the OS2H, the SC and the OS2LIB directories in
- the TKBETA directory structure. In order to build the sample, either
- (1) the makefile must be modified to reference the OS2H, the SC and
- the OS2LIB files in the TOOLKT2x directory structure, or (2) the OS2H,
- the SC and the OS2LIB files must be copied to the TKBETA directory
- structure.
