DESQview 2.2 API Tools
Quarterdeck is developing a full set of tools to assist developers
in creating DESQview-specific programs and workstations. The first
six of these tools are:
DESQview API Reference Manual
This is the primary source of information about the DESQview API. It
contains all you need to know to write assembly language programs
that take full advantage of DESQview's capabilities. The Reference
manual comes with an include file containing symbols and macros to
aid you in development. AVAILABLE NOW!
DESQview API C Library
The DESQview API C Library provides C Language interfaces for the
entire set of API functions. It supports the Lattice C, Metaware
C, Microsoft C, and Turbo C compilers for all memory models. Included
with the C Library package is a copy of the API Reference Manual and
source code for the library. AVAILABLE NOW!
DESQview API Pascal Library
The DESQview API Pascal Library provides Pascal Language interfaces for the
entire set of API functions. It supports the Turbo Pascal V4.0 and V5.0
compilers. Included with the Pascal Library package is a copy of the
API Reference Manual and source code for the library. AVAILABLE NOW!
DESQview API Debugger
The DESQview API Debugger is an interactive tool that enables the
API programmer to trace and single step through API calls from several
concurrently running DESQview-specific programs. Trace information
is reported symbolically along with the program counter, registers,
and stack at the time of the call. Trace conditions can be specified
so that only those callls of interest are reported. AVAILABLE NOW!
DESQview Panel Design Tool
The DESQview Panel Design Tool is an interactive tool to aid you
in designing windows, menus, help screens, error messages, and forms.
It includes an editor that lets you construct an image of your panel
using simple commands to enter, edit, copy, and move text as well
as draw lines and boxes. You can then define the characteristics
of the window that will contain the panel, such as its position, size,
and title. Finally, you can specify the locations and types of fields
in the panel.
The Panel Design Tool automatically generates all the DESQview API data
streams necessary to display and take input from your panel. These
data streams may be grouped together into panel libraries and stored
on disk or as part of your program. AVAILABLE NOW!
DESQview Pulldown Menu Manager
The DESQview Pulldown Menu Manager is an interactive tool to aid you in
designing pulldown menus. This DESQview API tool assists you in giving
your DOS program an OS/2-like look and feel.
