- The Button Custom Control program and demo programs and documentation were
- developed with:
-
- Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 8.00c (Visual C++ 1.52)
- Microsoft (R) Segmented Executable Linker Version 5.60.339
- Microsoft (R) Windows Resource Compiler Version 3.11
- Microsoft (R) Visual Basic Version 3.0
- Microsoft (R) Word Version 6.0c

- At this point I assume that experienced Visual Basic/C/C++ programmers
- have obtained and unpacked the SCENTBNS.ZIP file onto a temporary
- directory. I will not assume to know the details of your particular
- programming environment, so I will keep these instructions on a
- fundamental basis.
-
- First things first, print the SRCENTBN.DOC file. It contains all the
- information needed for you as a programmer to incorporate Button controls
- in your programs. This is a Microsoft Word Version 6.0 document file.
-
- The SRCENTBN.DLL file should be copied to a directory where DLL files
- are accessable on your system, usually the /windows/system directory.
- To use the Button as a Visual Basic Extention(VBX), simply copy or rename
- SRCENTBN.DLL to SRCENTBN.VBX
-
- The SRCENTBN.H file should be copied to the directory where the C/C++ compiler
- has access to header files.
-
- The SRCENTBN.LIB file should be copied to the directory where the linker
- has access to link libraries.
-
- The demonstration programs and their source code are provided as just that.
- They are for reference only to demonstrate how to use the Button
- programmer API functions (and C++ Button Class) with detailed comments.
- I would suggest you start with the source code for the demo programs as a
- basis for experimenting with incorporating Button controls in your
- programs.
-
- For the Shareware Version:
- When the Button DLL/VBX is first loaded by an application program, a dialog
- appears, indicating you have the shareware version of the Button Custom
- Control. Other than that, it is fully functional.
-
- It is my hope that you find the Button control easy and straight forward
- to use, as this is certainly my intention.
-
- *****************************************************************************
-
- You may freely distribute the shareware version of this Button control,
- but only in its original form (ie: the original ZIP file containing all
- files as distributed).
-
- Under no circumstances will the author be in any way responsible for any
- damages or losses incurred by using the Button control.
