; ------------------------ MEMOPAD.TXT ---------------------
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; This is the help text file for the MEMOPAD application. It
|
|||
|
; includes the help text that a D-Flat application would use
|
|||
|
; for the user interface.
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; There can be a help window with a helptag name for each
|
|||
|
; command in commands.h, each menu label on the menu bar
|
|||
|
; as defined in menus.c, and each dialog box name in dialogs.c
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; There can be other help windows as well. Some of them will
|
|||
|
; be displayed as the result of hypertext and definition key
|
|||
|
; words embedded in the help text of other help windows. Others
|
|||
|
; can be implemented from within an application software system.
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; Following is the format for a help window:
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; <20><><EFBFBD> (1st column of each line)
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; ; anything with a semicolon in the 1st column is a comment
|
|||
|
; <helptag> (names the help window)
|
|||
|
; [<<]<helptag> (names the previous window in chain)
|
|||
|
; [>>]<helptag> (names the next window in chain)
|
|||
|
; Help Window Title (displays in window's title bar)
|
|||
|
; Help text follows until next helptag occurs
|
|||
|
; Hypertext reference [..keyword]<helptag> embedded in text
|
|||
|
; Definition reference [**keyword]<helptag> embedded in text
|
|||
|
; <helptag> (names another window)
|
|||
|
;
|
|||
|
; Notes:
|
|||
|
; 1. A hypertext reference, when selected, causes the
|
|||
|
; associated help window named by the <helptag> to
|
|||
|
; become the active help window.
|
|||
|
; 2. A definition reference, when selected, displays
|
|||
|
; a momentary window with the text of the associated
|
|||
|
; help window named by the <helptag>. The window
|
|||
|
; closes when the user releases the Enter key or
|
|||
|
; mouse button.
|
|||
|
; 3. A definition window has no title.
|
|||
|
; 4. The last window is followed by the <end> helptag.
|
|||
|
; 5. The window's height and width adjust to the text.
|
|||
|
; 6. The [..], [**], and <helptags> do not display and
|
|||
|
; do not figure in the width of the line in which
|
|||
|
; they occur.

Document Window
|

A Document Window contains the data that you work

|
|||
|

|
|||
|
When a different window has the focus, the border
|
|||
|
is a single line.

The window's [..Scroll Bars]<scrollbar>, if any, are positioned

Scroll Bars
|
|||
|
You use Scroll Bars to scroll a window's data with the
|
|||
|
mouse. A window can have one or two Scroll Bars - one
|
|||
|
at the right and one at the bottom parts of the
|
|||
|
window's Border. The Scroll Bar at the right scrolls
|
|||
|
the document's data up and down. The Scroll Bar on
|
|||
|
the bottom scrolls the window's data right and left.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To scroll a window a line at a time, click the arrow
|
|||
|
tokens at either end of the Scroll Bar. The Scroll Bar
|
|||
|
includes a slider box that indicates the relative
|
|||
|
position of the window's display with respect to the
|
|||
|
total document. You can page to an approximate position
|
|||
|
within the document by clicking inside the Scroll Bar.
|
|||
|
You can drag the slider box in either direction to
|
|||
|
scroll the document.

Definitions
|
|||

|
|||
|
the definition, a window displays in the upper left

Extended Help
|
|||
|
The MEMOPAD program has few features and procedures
|
|||
|
that are not taken directly from the SAA/CUA
|
|||
|
interface that D-Flat implements. The [..Log Messages]<ID_LOG>
|
|||
|
and [..Display]<ID_DISPLAY> selections on the [..Options]<Options> menu are
|
|||
|
unique to MEMOPAD and would not necessarily be in
|
|||
|
an application. Some of the Display features would
|
|||
|
be useful to a user who is not developing D-Flat
|
|||
|
programs. Others, such as the [..Title]<ID_TITLE>, [..Border]<ID_BORDER>,
|
|||
|
[..Status Bar]<ID_STATUSBAR>, and [..Texture]<ID_TEXTURE> check boxes on the [..Display]<Display>
|
|||
|
dialog box, are to allow a programmer to see how
|
|||
|
the screen looks with these features enabled and
|
|||
|
disabled.

<inactive>
|
|||
|
An inactive menu command is one that is, for
|
|||
|
the moment, not available. The command becomes
|
|||
|
active at another time when conditions within
|
|||
|
the program require or permit its use.

<shortcut>
|
|||
|
Function keys are key combinations that
|
|||
|
you can press to execute a menu command
|
|||
|
without selecting the pull-down menu
|
|||
|
itself. Not all menu commands have
|
|||
|
function keys. The most frequently used
|
|||
|
operations do.

|
|||
|
<logging>
|
|||
|
The message log is a debug tool. You should
|
|||
|
delete it from the system by turning off the
|
|||
|
INCLUDE_LOGGING global definition in dflat.h.
|
|||
|
You should then eliminate references to it in
|
|||
|
the MEMOPAD.TXT help database.

<MoreWins>
|
|||
|
A menu can have only so many selections.
|
|||
|
The length of the screen is the limiting
|
|||
|
factor. The CUA standard defines nine
|
|||
|
windows as the maximum number of windows
|
|||
|
that the Window menu can display. The
|
|||
|
Windows menu has the More Windows command
|
|||
|
to provide a way for you to choose from
|
|||
|
the rest of the document windows.
