This event demo is an exploration tool, to give you a feel for how the Paradox 4.0 interface operates. It is NOT a polished application. Go ahead and bash away at it. In particular, check out the difference or operating under GetEvent as opposed to Wait Workspace. Note that the mouse event names are composite names generated by the event manager.
These are the menu choices of the Demo Menu:
"Wait Workspace" places the desktop under the control of a Wait Workspace command.
"Wait Table" places the desktop under the control of a Wait Table command.
"Wait Record" places the desktop under the control of a Wait Record command.
"Wait Field" places the desktop under the control of a Wait Field command.
"GetEvent" places the desktop under the control of a GetEvent loop.
"Tracer menu" gives options which let you control the output of the Tracer, or "Load Tracer" lets you load the tracer if you have previously unloaded it.
"Show help" loads this help window if it had been previously unloaded.
"Set Menubar" restores the ShowPulldown menu on the top line of the screen if you have removed it with the ClearMenubar selection.
"Quit demo" removes all windows from the desktop and exits the application.
These are the menu choices of the Tracer Menu:
"Trace settings" lets you select a combination of TRIGGER, EVENT, MOUSE, KEYCODE, or MESSAGE events to trace in the Event Tracer Window. Each event listed has an Event number, a window number, the event index (as used by EventMan). In addition you can control whether the tracer output is written to the EVENTS.TXT file.
"Show traces" lets you restore the Event Tracer window to the desktop if you've previously closed it.
"View EVENTS.TXT" lets you view (and edit) the disk file to which tracer output is (optionally) directed.
"Quit tracer" lets you unload the event tracer. You can reload it from the event demo menu.
