Description:
==========
NewObject is a programming tool for the OS/2 operating system,
that will allow you to register and/or replace a class with the WPS
(Work Place Shell). It will also allow you to remove any class
registered with the WPS.
This program is mainly intended as a programming tool for wps
programmers, but its usefulness is not limited to programmers alone.
Disclaimer:
=========
This product is provided to you "AS IS", without warranty of any kind.
In no way, shall the I be liable for any damages arising out
of your use of this program.
Using the program:
================
I am only providing a description of all the controls in the program at
this time, because it should be obvious to any wps programmer how
to use it, and besides what do you want for free.
If you really don't understand something, send me an email and I
will try to help you out.
Understanding program controls:
===========================
1. Class Name - is the name of the class you want to register with the wps.
2. Path to .dll file - is the complete path and name of the .dll file you want
to register.
3. Register - used to register a class.
4. Create Instance - will allow you to create an instance of a class.
5. Deregister - will deregister the class listed in the 'Class Name' entry field.
6. Classes - will show you all the classes registered with the wps and
allow you to remove them.
7. Class to Replace - the name of the class you want to replace.
8. Register & Replace - used to register and replace a class.
9. Restore & Deregister - used to restore the class listed in 'Class to Replace',
to its previous state and deregister the class listed in 'Class Name'.
10. About - Press it and see.
11. Save Data - will save the 'Class Name', 'Path to .dll file' & 'Class to Replace'
entry fields to the NewObj.ini file. This allows you to quickly test your class
again without entering the same data all the time, during development.
12. Clear - will erase all entry fields.
13. Exit - will Close the program.
Create Instance Dialog box:
=======================
1. Class - You may change this to any class name you want,
by default it will contain the class you entered in the
'Class Name' field of the main dialog box.
2. Title - This value is required to create an object. It can be
any name that follows the OS/2 naming convention.
3. Setup String - This is an optional value that allows some
control over the object being created.
4. Location - Any valid path to create the object in, the
default is the desktop.
Registered Classes Dialog box:
=========================
1. Select the class to deregister and press the 'Deregister' button.
You will be prompted to confirm deregistering a class using this method,
because of the possible problems a user could get into deregistering a
system class.
