- 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.
-

- 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',

-
- 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.
