This is the user distribution of GadUtil library. If you are interested
in developing programs that uses this library, you should get the
distribution from dev/gui on Aminet.
For advanced "normal" users:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two versions of the library are included: one "normal" every-day-use
version and one "debug" version. If you experience any trouble running
a program that uses gadutil, you should rename the normal version in libs:,
copy the debug version to libs, and rename it to gadutil.library. Reverse
this to change back to the normal version. Don't forget to "flush" all
unused libraries or reboot before testing the program again.
Changes overview:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* 37.10 (28-Sep-97)
GU_NoCreate now works on individual gadgets. Useful to create invisible
gadgets that helps you place the other objects in the window.
6 new tags added that will allow you to save the object's calculated
left,
top, right and bottom edge, as well as the gadget's width and height.
E includes added to the distribution.
* 37.9 (22-Dec-96)
6 new tags added for the help functions. It is now possible to set a
default
help text that will be shown if no gadget is under the pointer.
GU_DefWTitle - default window title
GU_DefLocWTitle - localized window title
GU_DefSTitle - default screen title
GU_DefLocSTitle - localized screen title
GU_DefHelpText - default help text
GU_DefLocHelpText - localized help text
A little bug removed from the help routines. Versions beore 37.9 could
display two different help text at the same time (in different gadgets
or
the screen or window title).
A new include file is included in the distribution now. Now it should be
possible to compile the examples with older versions of the system
include
files (OS 2.0x includes are supported now)
A third archive with the HTML version of the GadUtil documentation is
included in the distribution now. Also included with this archive is
some
pictures of applications using GadUtil.
The distribution has changed a bit, resulting in that the archive with
all
files became smaller (developer archive only).
* 37.8 (15-Jul-96)
Some bug fixes in the new help functions. If 0 was used as data on a
GU_HelpText
tag with a gadget that shows the help text in the window's or screen's
title,
there were some enforcer hits
Deleted the separate autodoc files. Appended some information on the
contents of
the GU_Public structure to the autodocs. More info about SCRTITLE_HELP
and
WINTITLE_HELP was also appended.
Changed the help function so that all gadgets and title bars that are
used to
display help strings is cleared if the mouse pointer is outside all
gadgets that
have help texts.
* 37.7 (12-Jul-96)
Bug fix in the prototype for GU_ChangeStr (two parameters was mixed up).
GU_ChangeStr now works for both STRING_KIND and TEXT_KIND gadgets. If the
gadget isn't a STRING or TEXT gadget nothing is done.
Bug fix in GU_CoordsInGadBox function. The register D3 was trashed in all
earlier versions of GU.
Three new tags allows any STRING or TEXT_KIND gadget to show a (localized)
help text for each gadget in the window. These tags also works with the
special gadgets (BEVELBOX, LABEL, PROGRESS). The gadgets attached to the
window is scanned in sequential order. If a BEVELBOX_KIND gadget matches
the pointer position, this gadget's help string will have the lowest
priority. If another BEVELBOX is found inside this, the help string for
that one will be used if there is no gadget inside that box. The help
text can also be displayed in the window/screen title.
The TEXT_KIND, STRING_KIND, NUMBER_KIND and INTEGER_KIND gadget's current
value can now be read from the gu_Active field in the structure that
gg_UserData points to.
* 37.6 (15-Jun-96)
gu_Active in the structure that gg_UserData points to was not updated
when using any routine that used GU_SetGadgetAttrsA(). Now it checks
the gu_Active value to see if it is out of the gadget's limits.
gng_Flags and gng_GadgetText is now cleared before creation of every
new gadget.
The LAYOUTA_Spacing tag for LISTVIEW_KIND gadgets is now used to
determine the height of the gadget. If the height of a gadget should
be about 4 lines (GU_HeightFactor, 4), the height of the gadget is
calculated to 4*(font height+value of LAYOUTA_Spacing tag). The same
method is used for the GU_AddHeiLines tag.
Hotkeys for LISTVIEW_KIND gadgets works as they should again. In v37.5
of GadUtil (and probably some earlier ones), the listview didn't scroll
down when you selected the next entry.
Inserted pragmas and prototypes for tagcalls (pragmas only for SAS/C).
It is possible to create stub routines for the tagcalls for other
compilers by using fd2pragma 2.0.
Inserted links to the include files in the index file for GadUtil.guide.
* 37.5 (29-May-96)
Bug in PROGRESS_KIND gadget removed. If the gadget was set to
show x/0 (also 0/0), a division by zero was done.
Two new constants added to the include files: GADUTIL_VER and
GADUTIL_REV.
Bug fixes in test (demo) programs. The FPF_DISKFONT flag in the
TextAttr structure was unset in all demo programs. Replaced the
manual version check in the demo programs with the GadUtil function
GU_CheckVersion. Removed unnecessary IDCMP flags from the demo
programs and replaced GadTools IDCMP with the GU_MinimumIDCMP tag.
* 37.4 (14-May-96)
Created a new gadget kind: LABEL_KIND. This gadget kind is used
to place text relative to other gadgets, bevel boxes, and other
texts. Can use the same type of shadows that the text for the
bevel box.
Implemented a new function in the library: GU_CloseFont. Works
like graphics CloseFont, but takes the parameter in A0 instead
of A1.
Replaced the list sort routine with a new one that sorts better.
Wrote a new document, "GadUtil.index", that have a list over all
gadutil functions, sorted by what they do. There are also some
shortcuts to all tags for gadutil's own gadget kinds.
Created two new flags for BEVELBOX_KIND and LABEL_KIND:
BB_3DTEXT - can be used as a replacement for GUBB_3DText, TRUE
LB_3DTEXT - can be used as a replacement for GULB_3DText, TRUE
* 37.3 (10-May-96)
Enforcer hits fixed in the code that handles the GU_AdjustLeft
and GU_AdjustRight tags.
A new function to clear the inner part of a window was added.
A new function to size (and move, if necessary) a window was
added.
Bug fix in assembly language include file.
* 37.2 (02-May-96)
Started programming in StormC and did some tests with the library,
noticed that there was a couple of errors in some include files.
GU_UpdateProgress was wrongly specified in the FD/clib files.
The output of GU_GetGadgetPtr was specified as (struct Gadget *),
this is now corrected.
Included an example in C that uses the PROGRESS_KIND gadget.
* 37.1 (01-May-96)
IMAGE_KIND gadget bug fix. The color of the unselected image of
the gadget was wrong, if the image used more than 4 colors.
* 37.0 (29-Apr-96)
A new function that checks the library's revision added.
Two new tags added: GU_FractWidth and GU_FractHeight. Suggested
by Morten Amundsen.
Some small bug fixes in 'C' include files (unterminated comments).
Cleaned up BetterTest.c a bit (removed some {}). Bug fix on the last line of
the example (GT_ReplyIMsg -> GU_ReplyIMsg).
Added support for StormC in both installer script and include-
file installer. Created dictionary for StormC, so that all words
that belongs to GadUtil (functions, tags and constants) is shown
in another color.
* 36.60 (24-Feb-96)
Uses the screen's font as the gadget font if no GU_DefTextAttr or
GU_TextAttr tag is used. Bug fix from v36.59. Changed some docs,
assembled all examples, changed installation scripts.
* 36.59 (06-Jan-96)
More docs completed (all docs, finally). Bug fix in the GU_AutoWidth,
GU_AdjustLeft and GU_AdjustRight tags. The underscore character was
counted as a normal one. This made gadgets without hotkeys one char
smaller than other gadgets. A new function that sorts one or two
lists was added. Some new constants added in include files.
Changed GU_MinimumIDCMP to support hotkeys. Changed PROGRESS_KIND
to use GU_GadgetText and GU_LocaleText. Uses the screen's font as
the gadget font if no GU_DefTextAttr or GU_TextAttr tag is used.
* 36.58 (01-Jan-96)
SLIDER_KIND and SCROLLER_KIND gadgets returned wrong result in
im->Code if the gadget was changes using the hotkey. Bug reported
by Lukasz Szelag.
* 36.57 (10-Dec-95)
Some more docs finished. A memory loss bug was fixed.
* 36.56 (10-Oct-95)
Changed some routines, so that hotkeys can't be used on disabled
gadgets. Made it possible to disable IMAGE_KIND, FILE_KIND and
DRAWER_KIND gadgets.
* 36.55 (30-Sep-95)
Bug fix in the hotkey part of the library. Wrong code were sent back
when using GU_LabelHotkey with a LISTVIEW_KIND gadget. A new gadget
kind was created, PROGRESS_KIND.
* 36.54 (06-Jul-95)
Added support for GU_AutoWidth to CYCLE_KIND gadgets.
* 36.53 (05-Jul-95)
3 new tags and 4 new flags was added for the BEVELBOX_KIND gadget.
BEVELBOX_KIND gadgets can now have a shadow added to the text in the
border. The "sun" can be placed in 4 different places. GU_MinimumIDCMP
tag was added.
* 36.52 (25-Jun-95)
First public release. Some new flags for the BEVELBOX_KIND gadget was
added. Supports a total of 100 bevelbox kinds.
