DrWimpC - Application Help

Downloads

On many occasions when a button is selected your application 's response is to open a menu or another window. DrWimpC app Builder lets you link a defined menu or a template from one of the application's template files to a template or template/icon combination so that for windows created from the templates if the menu button is pressed while the mouse pointer is over the window/icon the linked menu is opened automatically. At the same time your application is informed of the menu button press and so it can make adjustments to the menu or its state before it is opened by the DrWimpC library. Similarly, if the <SELECT> or <ADJUST> button is pressed over a window/icon with a linked window, the linked window is opened automatically. Your application is also informed so that it can react to the window being opened.

Using the barobject window as an example, <ADJUST> clicking on the window/icon you want the menu or template to be linked to, will open the Click Action window. The illustration shows the result of an <ADJUST> click over the barobject group icon.

Of course if you have any template functions associated with the linked menu or template to do with opening the linked menu or window, these will also be called automatically when DrWimpC library opens the linked menu or window.

You can specify a menu or template to be opened as a menu by pressing <MENU> over the Menu Name button. This will open a selector menu that lists either the Defined Menus or the Template files (and their templates in a further sub menu). One of the menus or Template File/Template items can be selected and linked to the template/icon combination.

For example, to link the Barmenu (the Auto/Manual menu that appears when <MENU> is pressed over the barobject) open the Sub Menu Types menu from the Menu Name button, follow the Menus submenu arrow and tick the Barmenu item.

Or, to link a window created from the bartmpl/barw template to the barobject to open when <SELECT> is pressed over the barobject, open the Click Type menu and tick the bartmpl/barw template file and template items.
