- I'm currently using TV 1.03 (the version included in BC++ 3.1) to develop
- a big professional project. After a few days studying the examples and the
- doc I began to specify and to code my application (Yes, it is an interactive
- process since I didn't really know what I could do with the package and how).
- I must admit that almost anything I needed was included in the package:
- lists without any data in memory (the acces method is user-defined),
- interactions between dialog boxes,...
-
- Even if it isn't always simple to guess which mechanism to use, you can
- easily read the examples and the sources (fortunatly it is well-coded
- in C++ which is readable because there aren't almost any comment).
- I now have a very powerful and complex application and it works!!!
-
- The only two points I have to tudy know are how to have a multiple-choice
- list (like TCheckBox but with any number of items - at least more than 16)
- and how to put my modules in overlay because I still have a problem to overlay
- my own modules using TV.
-
- For the graphical question, I found on SIMTEL something for Turbo Pascal
- which you link with your application (it's a TPU) and, miracle, your program is
- now in graphical mode. (You only have to add an initialization line).
- By a graphical application I mean that you open a file-viewer window like
- in text mode but you also can open a grphical window on the desktop with an
- animation in it; and you always have the ability to move/resize/zoom all the
- windows. It looks great, BUT... is it usable with C++ version ?
- I contacted the author and wait for an answer.
- Some more info in the future
