- ADDENDUM FOR
- FileRequest -- Get filename from user
-
- ADDITIONS IN V1.3
- The main change in the FileRequest() function for V1.3 of
- ARP is the addition of of the ArpAllocFreq() call as the
- preferred method to allocate and initialize the input data
- structure. Use of the ArpAllocFreq() call insures upward
- compatability for future ARP releases. If you do NOT use
- ArpAllocFreq(), do not expect your calls to FileRequest to
- work under V1.4 of AmigaDOS and beyond. See "ArpAllocFreq"
- for usage notes.
-
- The "fr_reserved2" longword field, which had been initialized
- to ZERO under V1.1 of ARP, is now used to specify the Left
- and TOP edge offsets desired. If initialized to ZERO, the
- file request will be displayed at the default position, but
- if the application puts LeftEdge and TopEdge values into
- the fr_LeftEdge and fr_TopEdge fields, the request will be
- brought up at the requested position, offset by one pixel so
- that (1,0) will actually position the request at (0,0).
-
- See "ArpBase.h" for a description of the FileRequester data
- structure. Note that the desired field is still defined as
- "LONG fr_reserved2" in "arpbase.i", left as an exercise
- for the assembly language programmer.
-
- In V1.3, the invalid return values for fr_Function() calls
- has been fixed so developers can use the FRF_DoWildFunc
- function call.
-
- Note that use of the fr_Function() calls to alter the window
- using the NewWindFunc and AddGadFunc callbacks is not
- guaranteed to work under V1.4 of AmigaDOS.
