- Welcome to The Programmer's Toolkit for Clarion for Windows. Please
- be sure to read PROGTOOL.WRI for a more detailed explanation of
- the tools and features included. The list below is presented in
- alphabetical order to make it easier to locate a demo for any of
- the features in the kit.
-
- Some demos for the tools included in the programmer's toolkit may
- be found on the Demo menu, but others are scattered throughout the
- sample application. Take a look at the simple phonebook application
- by selecting FILE, then PEOPLE from the main menu. The browse is
- resizable, the edit form includes an example implementation of
- the miscellaneous notes capability, and memo timestamping is
- demonstrated as part of the miscellaneous notes editor.
- The following list of tools explains where to look for each
- of the demonstrations included in this application.
-
- AppStats - The AppStats demo displays a text file that was generated
- by using the AppStats utility template on the sample application.
-
- CommentBlock - The CommentBlock demo shows a source file that
- illustrates the effect of using the CommentBlock template. This
- source file also shows the source generated by the ScaleWindow
- template.
-
- DataList - The DataList demo displays a text file that was generated
- by using the DataList utility template on the sample application.
-
- DateSelect - There is a demo window for the DateSelect toolset.
- The DateSelect tools include a template to create the button and
- link the results to an entry field, as well as the function that
- actually displays the calendar and returns the date.
-
- LookupButton - The LookupButton template is used on the Person
- editor to select a phonebook for the person. Although the names of
- the phonebooks are displayed on the editor and in the browse, only
- a SYSID (long) is stored in the People file. Note the message
- displayed when you are adding a new person with no phonebook
- selected.
-
- LoopThruChild - Run the rolodex report to see the end result of
- using the LoopThruChild template. This report prints all the
- rolodex entries in name order, and prints phone numbers if they
- have been entered.
-
- MessageBox - The MessageBox template has a separate demo window.
- Click the buttons to see some example message boxes.
-
- MiscNotes - To see how the MiscNotes template works, look on the
- Person editor window. Note that the record for Jim Qwilleran has
- some notes attached, so the button will show an open book. All
- other entries have no notes, and will initially show a closed book.
- Add a note to any other person to see the book change from closed
- to open.
-
- ScaleWindow - This template has been used on the People browse and
- the text viewer. Resize either of these windows to see the effects
- of the ScaleWindow template on a window. Note that the minimum
- size restriction has been applied to the People browse, but not
- to the text viewer. The source code displayed by the CommentBlock
- demo also contains the code generated by the ScaleWindow template.
-
- TimedMessage - The TimedMessage template also has a separate demo
- window. Click the button to see an example timed message box. The
- text message displayed will vary depending on whether the button on
- the timed message box is pressed or not.
-
- TimeStamp - The miscellaneous notes editor has a timestamp button
- on it. Click on the button while editing a note to see how the
- template works.
-
- The OneRecord, IniField and OneToOneEdit templates are not demoed.
