The Widget Font
Quick Reference
The font TBKMMWID.FON supplied with Multimedia ToolBook is installed dynamically into your system when ToolBook is started with TBKMM.SBK as a system book. The file TBKMMWID.FON itself must be in the DOS path.
This font contains symbols for many multimedia controls and operations. This table shows the ANSI values with the corresponding characters.rs.
You can type any character by holding the Alt key down and typing the ANSI value of the character on the numeric keypad, with enough leading zeros for a total of 4 digits. Release the Alt key when you have finished typing the ANSI value.
Some characters in this font are designed to be used in pairs, for instance
The next page explains some of the advantages and disadvantages of using this special font...

wait parameter. This delays subsequent OpenScript statements from executing until the wave file finishes playing and closes.
The Play and Notify button specifies itself as the notification object . Its buttonDown handler plays a wave file, but its tbkmmNotify handler closes the wave file.

Widget: A small contrivance.
This book contains a collection of widgets and scripts that you can use in your own applications. These widgets use the multimedia extensions to ToolBook and the underlying Microsoft multimedia extensions to Windows.
When the devices and drivers are available, the widgets in this book are fully functional. Some require data files.

You can use the widgets in several ways:
* Copy the generic buttons from the Simple Button pages, then paste them into your applications. After right-clicking them to assign them a wave, MIDI, bitmap or animation file, they'll play that file when you click them.
* Copy widgets and control panels, then paste them into your applications. You can modify them to suit your particular requirements.
* Use widget scripts as examples for your own scripts.

7. Click the button with your LEFT mouse button to show the bitmap.
8. Click the bitmap to close it. If its in an overlapped window, press Alt+F4 to close it.
9. To assign a different bitmap to the button, RIGHT click it again...
These buttons let you show device independent bitmaps (DIBs) in their own windows.
They use the translateWindowMessage control structure to trap mouse clicks in the bitmap window. This sends a ToolBook message. The message's handler closes the bitmap file. The Overlapped Window Style button also traps a windows destroy message..

Generic: 3D Objects
1. Copy one of these objects to the clipboard.
2. Go to your own ToolBook application and make sure you're at Author level.
3. Paste the object from the clipboard into your own application.
4. Resize it or reposition it.
Notes:
The 3D objects on this page are simple graphic objects that can be useful in your layouts. They are intended to be used on a gray background. These objects are actually groups; don't use too many at a time.
3D fields are made of a group of 3 objects in which the field itself is the first element (the farthest) and the shadow and highlight are 90 degree angledLines.
Other objects are made of various graphic objects, with the shadow as one element, the highlight as the middle element (or vice-versa, depending on whether the object is recessed), and the object itself as the last element.
Some of these objects, such as 3D fields and rectangles, can be resized with no side effects. The others are automatically repaired when you resize them.
The TBKMM.SBK sysBook script contains a handler for the sized message. The sized message is sent to objects after they're resized at author level. The txClassName user property determines how these groups are repaired when they're resized. You can change the properties of the field object in the 3D field by placing the focus in it, and then referring to it as "the focus" in the Command window. The Field Properties menu command also becomes available when the focus is in a field, so you can display the Field Properties dialog box. When your layout is final, ToolBook performance will be slightly better if you ungroup graphics that do not have to be grouped.
These objects can be copied to your application to give it a 3D appearance.

1. Copy a slider to the clipboard.
2. Go to your own ToolBook application and make sure you're at Author level.
3. Paste the slider from the clipboard into your own application and name it "slider", or any name you wish.
To set the position of a slider:
In OpenScript, say:
set sliderPosition of group "slider" to 1
The sliderPosition can be any value between 0 and 1.
To get the position of a slider:
In OpenScript, say:
get sliderPosition of group "slider"
The position of the slider will be stored the OpenScript variable "it".med "slider".
To get the position of a slider:
get its SliderPosition.
To set the position of a slider: a slider: is property can be "vSliderThumb" or

To give your slider a name, select it and then choose the "Group Properties" menu item from the "Object" menu.
Sliders are grouped ToolBook objects that provide a way to control and display the position of multimedia elements.
The topmost object in these groups is called a "thumb" object. You can read and set the position of the thumb. The SliderPosition is always expressed as a floating point number between 0 and 1. When the thumb object of a horizontal slider is at the far left position, its parent's SliderPosition will be 0. If the thumb object is at the far right, its parent's SliderPosition will be 1.
This page has a script which displays the sliderPosition in a text field. If you try the same thing, make sure to forward the buttonStillDown message to the sysbook.ssage to the sysbook.

1. Click the Roll the Wheel button to see animation during wave audio.
Notes:
Wave audio files can be be played during animation sequences without interruption by using the yieldApp( ) function from TBKWIN.DLL. The yieldApp( ) function is linked in the enterBook handler in the sysBook. The hold parameter for the play command prevents a lapse in the animation when the sound file finishes playing.
The picture of the wheel is actually a special character from the Widgets font. There are 4 textlines in the field, each with a different Widget font character. The wheel rolls by setting the scroll property of the text field while moving it to the right.the text field while moving it to the right.y of the text field while moving it to the right.

Multimedia, MCI and Toolbook
Multimedia, MCI and ToolBook
Multimedia ToolBook allows you to use all the devices shown on the map page. These Widgets rely on Windows' Media Control Interface (MCI).
MCI is a string interface that allows you to make standard function calls to a various devices without having to worry about the type or make of the device. This standard protocol simplifies multimedia development.ment......................owing applications can run on a wider range of hardware.
Multimedia Devices
Multimedia devices are either simple or complex.
Simple devices include videodisc and CD players. No data file name is associated with them. To open and play them, you specify the device name in the function call.
Complex devices include wave audio, MIDI and animation players. To open and play them, you specify a media file name in the function call. These include .wav , .mid , .mmm , .fli and .flc files.
using them..
For best performance, close multimedia data files after using them.

Devices and media files can be opened with an alias . This allows you to refer to a device or a file name with a name that's easier to type or is meaningful.
Make sure to close multimedia data files after using them. You can open media files in an enterPage handler for fast performance.
Simple devices like CD and videodisc can be opened with the shareable parameter. This allows multiple applications to use the same device....
