- RES2TEMP 0.01 - Convert Resource files to Template files
-
- Msg entry
- ---------
- This is a simple application that I knocked up as part of my learning to
- program Acorn's User Interface Toolbox. It's purpose is simple enough: when
- a Toolbox Resource file is dragged to its icon bar icon, it will output a
- Templates file containing copies of all the Window objects defined in that
- Resource file.
-
- Why? you might ask. Indeed. Well, I quite like ResEd, and I thought it was a
- shame that you couldn't use it to design Template files as well as Resource
- files. So I wrote this. Unfortunately the resulting template definitions
- aren't ideal, because of some of the internal workings of the Window
- module. For example, option and radio buttons are actually two separate
- icons (one for the button, one for the text), and writable fields depend
- on the application handling cursor key movement between icons.
-
- Nevertheless, this might possibly prove useful in knocking up Style Guide
- compliant window definitions.
