- The really nice thing about ToolMaker is that I have a window with
- 9 gadgets(buttons), each one opens a window, each window has a
- set of gadgets(integer, string, checkmark, button, listview, ect)
- with a wide variety. By using the "userdata structures" option, I
- really only had to modify one file, the rest is completely generated
- by ToolMaker. The file "ease_events.c" contains stubs for each
- gadget.
-
- This means I can add to my gadgets, reposition things, move things
- around and regenerate the source with little impact on my code. The
- whole user interface(well, nearly the whole interface) has it's source
- in the file "ease.tm" which is maitained by ToolMaker.
-
- Sure, I am limited in the font processing, and only 10 windows, but
- from what I have seen, it does make "MY" work alot less.
