- ⇨ !WinCtrl
- ⇨ version 1.02 (25-Nov-92)
- ⇨ by Dave Thomas, © 1992
-
- Purpose ___________________________________________________________________
-
- Some windows don't have all the gadgets round their borders, or some of the
- gadgets are not there. This program attempts to emulate the gadgets of the
- Wimp so you can move windows without title bars, scroll un-scollable windows
- etc. You can even re-size or scroll menus!
-
- Usage _____________________________________________________________________
-
- After you have loaded !WinCtrl it's icon will appear on the icon bar.
- Clicking upon this icon will bring up the main !WinCtrl window. From this
- window you can select which type of operation you wish !WinCtrl to perform.
-
- ⇨ Whole window drag - means emulate the title bar.
- ⇨ Resize window - means emulate the resize gadget.
- ⇨ Horizontal scroll - means emulate the bottom scroll bar.
- ⇨ Vertical scroll - means emulate the side scroll bar.
-
- To perform an operation, click and hold Select or Adjust inside the window
- and tap the right-hand Ctrl key. The operation will perform as if you were
- using a Wimp gadget (except it's invisible). I have re-phrased this since
- the last version in which I said to hold down the Ctrl key, because if you
- hold it down and pass over another window while performing an operation, the
- program forgets the window it was previously over and starts operating on
- the one it is over.
- Please note that dragging the Task Manager and Palette windows with the
- pointer over the moveable slider bars will cause the slider bars to become
- erroneously attatched to the pointer and slide about even when they aren't
- being dragged. It's best to try and avoid doing this! (To stop it just click
- normally on the icon again).
-
- Problems __________________________________________________________________
-
- ⇨ Some apps give address exceptions when you try to resize some of their
- windows. This unfortunately sometimes crashes !WinCtrl, I don't know what's
- causing it and there's nothing I can do about it, sorry! (Maybe someone
- could figure out what's going wrong - if you can contact me and I'll fix
- it.)
