Even though this program is freely distributable, it has taken 3 months of hard work, & I would be grateful for any feedback (money!, postcards, any Amos code or programs written in GUIAmos). Thanks! My address is......... Andrew Fisher Level 9 Software Ingleside 60 Burgh Lane Mattishall E Dereham Norfolk NR20 3QR >*************************************************************************> (Unfortunately this program saves out ascii text that is only FULLY compatible with AMOSPro, but some of the Gadgets are compatable with the other versions of Amos, (see list below) What is it? When I write programs in amos, I find it increasingly difficult to create a decent interface that is easy to use and quick to put together, the interface used to take longer than writing the main code!! Therefore I decided to make GUIAmos (Graphical User Interface Amos), it aids you in the design of your interface's, including.... GADGET: COMPATIBLE VERSIONS 6 Types of Bevel Box (All versions) Buttons (All Versions) Tick Box's (All Versions) Block Box's (All Versions) Horozontal Sliders (Amos Pro/Amos 1.1+) Horozontal Scrollers (Amos Pro/Amos 1.1+) Vertical Sliders (Amos Pro/Amos 1.1+) Vertical Scrollers (Amos Pro/Amos 1.1+) Text zones (Amos Pro) Number zones (Amos Pro) GetFile (All Versions) Toggle gadgets (All Versions) Menus (All Versions) When you have set out your interface you can save out the code as ascii text, and import it into Amos. You can then add the rest of your code to the gadgets and your next super utility is winging it's way to the PD librarys! Easy! Remember ** You will recieve any GUIAmos Updates, FREE of charge! *** ************************************************************************** THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW: You can turn the rather slow but useful Cross pointer on/off by pressing the DEL button There is also Online Help by pressing HELP Drawing screen = The screen that is blank when you load GUIAmos, this is where the graphics (Buttons etc) are drawn . Icon Screen = The screen that has all of the coordinates of the mouse pointer, sizes of box's etc, and the icons representing each gadget. ************************************************************************** HOW TO START GUIAmos: You can run GUIAmos from Hard Drive or Floppy, to install onto HD just drag it into the draw you want it to load from. Double click on it's Icon, after a few secs you will be presented with a screen showing the Level 9 Software logo, (click the mouse button). >>>>>>>>>>> You will now see a screen showing different screen resouloutions (Written in GUIAmos). Click on your desired resouloution and the maximum number of colours (4 is the minimum, because they are needed for the 3D look buttons etc). When you are sure, click on the button marked (Start GUIAmos) >>>>>>>>>>> Prefs: You will then see another screen, (Sorry about all of these separate screens but it keeps things simple!), this is the preferences screen. Here are the prefs you can set: Detect Zones: (Tick Box) If the tick is in the box it means that GUIAmos will automatically check if you place a gadget on top of another gadget (It slows the program down though). If you can manage without this checking, and want the extra speed leave it off! >>>>>>>>>>> Set Zone loop: (Tick box) If the tick is not in the box it means that when the code is saved out the part of the code where the zones are set will be like this... eg. Reserve Zone 34 Set Zone 1,10,32 to 90,70 Set Zone 2,90,29 to 190,78 Set Zone 3,5,10 to 34,32 | ** Up to 34 ** But if it is ticked it will appear like this (more compact)... Reserve Zone 34 For I=1 To 34 If TYPE(I)=1 or TYPE(I)=4 or TYPE(I)=6 or TYPE(I)=7 or TYPE(I)=23 Set Zone i,X1(i),Y1(i) To X2(i),Y2(i) End If Next I >>>>>>>>>>> Rems in code: (Tick Box) If this gadget is ticked it means that all of my remarks (to explain the final code), will be in the code. But if it is off, they will not be saved along with the code (i.e when you know how the program works and don't need my feeble remarks!). >>>>>>>>>>> Save Zone List: (Tick Box) If this is ticked a seperate ascii file will be created which will aid you in knowing what each and every Amos Zone (using the Set Zone command) is. (it will be saved as (file.ZONES), where file is, this will be your file name). NOTE: The Text/Numric zones do not use Amos zones so will be displayed as (Variable 1) etc. e.g EACH OF THE ZONES AND THERE GADGETS ( 1) A Button ( 2) A Tick Box,Type=Tick,Status=Off ( 3) A Tick Box,Type=Tick,Status=On ( 4) A Tick Box,Type=Block,Status=Off ( 5) A Tick Box,Type=Block,Status=On ( 6) A Horozontal Slider,Divs= 80,Pos 1 ( 7) A Vertical Slider,Divs= 86,Pos 1 (The numbers in brackets are the Zone numbers) >>>>>>>>>>> Tick Box XSize: (Slider) If you drag this slider it will adjust the X size of the tick box and the newly sized Tick box is displayed at the bottom of the screen >>>>>>>>>>> Tick Box YSize: (Slider) If you drag this slider it will adjust the Y size of the tick box and the newly sized Tick box is displayed at the bottom of the screen >>>>>>>>>>> Get file Xsize: (Slider) If you drag this slider it will adjust the X size of the getfile gadget and the newly sized Getfile is displayed at the bottom of the screen >>>>>>>>>>> Get File YSize: (Slider) If you drag this slider it will adjust the Y size of the getfile gadget and the newly sized Getfile is displayed at the bottom of the screen >>>>>>>>>>> WB Look title bar: (Tick Box) When selected this draws a bar, similar to the one on the wb screen >>>>>>>>>>> Auto Save IFF a GUI: (Tick Box) Automatically saves the Iff file with the file name "GUI", otherwise it will ask you for a name. Press Go! And the program will start. ************************************************************************** HOW TO USE THE EDITOR: I will now explain all of the buttons and options involved in GUIAmos, including the variables that the gadget affects in the finished code.
