Short: The MUI requester improver
Author: Matthias.Bethke@stud.uni-erlangen.de
Uploader: Matthias.Bethke@stud.uni-erlangen.de
Version: 1.6
Type: util/cdity
If you like ARQ's functionality but find it a little old-fashioned,
have a look at this! It's a MUIfied rewrite with similar features
(new imagery, ARexx support, keyboard control etc.) and some new ones.
New since V1.4:
V1.5b 19-Apr-9 - although it doesn't show very much, V1.5b is a
major rewrite! Trying to patch other
intuition.library requester functions and add
some features I found myself adding hacks and
kludges to keep MRQ's main function a drop-in
replacement for EasyRequestArgs(). No good.
Now all the actual patch does is to allocate a
message with some space to hold various data that
needs to be kept while a requester is open. This
it sends to MRQ's message port and just waits for
a reply. The main MRQ process handles everything
else. This makes for much better decoupling of
MRQ and the process (now it may even be a simple
task) calling EasyRequestArgs() than before.
V1.6 27-Jul-98 - this version had to be written twice - lost all
the source back to the V1.5 backup after almost
finishing 1.6. Well, should be really clean now
:-)
- saved 2K again by replacing the last stdio
sprintf() calls with a RawDoFmt()-based version
from my recent mb_utils.lib. Back under 20K again!
- bugfix: MRQ's public messageport wasn't properly
removed. I guess V1.5b had introduced this,
- new names for the OK_IMG/CANCEL_IMG tooltypes
- implemented IBUTTONSBYTEXT
- completed the Windozeish set of imagebuttons
- some optimizations, button creation code made
somewhat less messy :)
If you had any previous version of MRQ installed, BEWARE: some tooltype names
have changed!
