Text File | 1995-01-06 | 43.3 KB | 1,295 lines

This is a list of all the available commands JMedia can use. Commands marked as EXTENDED cannot be used for creating RIP menus for BBSes. Internal, Macro, and all the other NON extended commands can be used for both JMedia applications and RIP BBS menus. Commands that contain x2 and y2 co-ordinates such as the Rectangle and Bar command can use a "+" in front of the x2 and y2 co-ordinate to indicate a width and height relative to the x,y co-ordinates. --------------------------------------------------------------------- SetDimensions (INTERNAL COMMAND) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Segments the screen into smaller dimensions Parameter(s): oldWidth oldHeight newWidth newHeight Example: 640 350 80 43 The SetDimensions command effects most graphics commands that contain co-ordinates, it does not effect the TextWindow command. All graphic commands following the SetDimensions command will use the new values to calculate real co-ordinates. The command can be reset at any time throughout your JMedia scripts by specifying new dimensions. To reset the command for single pixel precision just type SetDimensions 1 1 1 1 --------------------------------------------------------------------- TextWindow --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Creates a Text Window by specifying size and font to use Parameter(s): x y x2 y2 wrap font Example: TextWindow 0 0 79 42 0 0 TextWindow 0 0 +80 +43 NO 0 TextWindow 0 0 +80 +43 YES 0 Font Font Size X Range Y Range ------------------------------------------ 0 8x8 *0-79 *0-42 1 7x8 *0-90 *0-42 2 8x14 *0-79 *0-24 3 7x14 *0-90 *0-24 4 16x14 *0-39 *0-24 The wrap parameter is used if you want text that exceeds the width of the text window to continue on into the next line instead of being truncated. (*) Max range can be up to 255 rows/columns, the numbers listed are the max used when creating BBS RIP screens. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ViewPort --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Defines the graphics window Parameter(s): x y x2 y2 Example: ViewPort 0 0 649 199 ViewPort 0 0 +650 +200 --------------------------------------------------------------------- ResetWindows --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Clears both the Graphics and Text Windows by resetting them to full screen Parameter(s): none Example: ResetWindows --------------------------------------------------------------------- EraseWindow --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Clears the text window Parameter(s): none Example: EraseWindow --------------------------------------------------------------------- EraseView --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Clears the graphics window Parameter(s): none Example: EraseView --------------------------------------------------------------------- GotoXY --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Moves the text cursor to x,y co-ordinates within the text window area row & column in Text Window Parameter(s): x y Example: GotoXY 0 0 GotoXY 79 42 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Home --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Moves text cursor to 0,0 co-ordinates within the text window Parameter(s): none Example: Home --------------------------------------------------------------------- EraseEOL --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Erase the current line from cursor position to the end of the line Parameter(s): none Example: EraseEOL --------------------------------------------------------------------- Color --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Sets the drawing color for some of graphics commands Parameter(s): Color Example: Color 1 Color Blue Value Color -------------------------- 0 Black 1 Blue 2 Green 3 Cyan 4 Red 5 Magenta 6 Brown 7 LightGray 8 DarkGray 9 LightBlue 10 LightGreen 11 LightCyan 12 LightRed 13 LightMagenta 14 Yellow 15 White NOTE: Some graphic commands are not effected by the color function, you must use the SetFillStyle or SetFillPattern functions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- SetPalette --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Sets a new the 16 color palette.

The x2 and y2 parameters can be left to zero if you wish to use the size specified in the Button Style fields. For the hotkey you can use the actual letter or use the ascii value by placing the pound sign in front of the number. NOTE: The command text field actually contains three fields separated by <> characters. The first field contains the filename of an icon if the button is an icon button otherwise its left out. The second field begins after the <> separator, its the label for the button. The last field separated by another <> is the host command, it is what will be sent to the host when that button is pressed. When creating BBS screens the host command is simply a piece of text that tells the BBS what function to perform. When creating JMedia applications the host command can contain filenames and additional commands that can be executed. Refer to JMedia demos for usage. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Define --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Define a text variable Parameter(s): flag TextString Example: Define 1 text_var,60:?question?default data Refer to RipScrip Specs for additional information NOTE: This command is also used to store extended commands when creating JMedia applications. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Query --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Query the contents of a text variable Parameter(s): mode TextString Example: Query 0 this is a query $COMMAND$^m Refer to RipScrip specs for additional information --------------------------------------------------------------------- CopyRegion --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Copy screen portion up or down Parameter(s): x y x2 y2 destline Example: CopyRegion 0 0 639 39 60 NOTE: x and x2 parameters must be evenly divisible by 8. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ReadScene --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Display a local RIP file Parameter(s): filename Example: ReadScene file.RIP --------------------------------------------------------------------- FileQuery --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Query existing information on a particular file Parameter(s): mode filename Example: FileQuery 0 TEST.RIP Refer RipScrip specs for additional information --------------------------------------------------------------------- EnterBlockMode --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Enter block transfer mode with host Parameter(s): mode protocol filetype filename Example: EnterBlockMode 1 7 MENU.RIP Refer RipScrip specs for additional information --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wizard (MACRO COMMAND) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Inserts a wizard object Parameter(s): x y x2 y2 filename Example: Wizard 10 10 100 100 METWIN.WIZ Wizard 10 10 +90 +90 METWIN.WIZ There are number of wizard file that you can use wich contain the WIZ extension.

This creates the area and selects the font the browser will use to display the text file contents. See TextWindow function. 2) Button commands/hot keys must issued containing browser sub-commands. These sub-commands tell the browser to do simple things such as page up/down, home/end, and other functions you would normally find in a text file browser. You can use all the browser sub-commands or as many as you want. This allows you to truly create custom looking applications. See Button function. 3) You can use the TextColor and TextBackGround functions to select the text colors the browser will be using. Available browser sub-commands are CASE sensitive, they must be entered exactly as listed. PGUP PGDOWN HOME END MOVEUP MOVEDOWN GOTOLINE SAVEPOS RESTOREPOS EXIT --------------------------------------------------------------------- PickList (EXTENDED COMMAND) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Function: Displays a picklist file using picklist sub-commands Parameter(s): filename Example: PickList CMD.TXT You must set up the picklist command the way you set up the browser command. There are two additional commands required for the picklist, the BTextColor and BTextBackGround. These set the colors for the select bar. A picklist file is simply a file containing a series of item descriptions followed by a command to issue once that item has been selected. Item descriptions and commands are separated using <> characters. A sample picklist file might look like this: Introduction <>intro.rip^M Installation <>instal.rip^M Requirements <>req.rip^M Available picklist sub-commands are CASE sensitive, they must be entered exactly as listed. You must assign one button or hot key with the accept command, this will add the item command to JMedia's stack and exit the picklist object.
