[Maptitude] DK Tip

[Larry Manire]

(During the course 
of my daily DK work, when I come across "tricks" I have used, I will post them 
to the list, and accumulate them in the DK_aids.exe.)
 
Here are two simple 
DK tips for buttons on a dialog box, in this case OK and Cancel buttons I 
usually put at the bottom right.
 
1. Separate buttons 
with a one or more character text item with "after, same" positions, to space 
out the buttons, then use "after,same" on all subsequent spacers and 
buttons.  To move the set of buttons you only have to change the row 
and column on the first button.
 
2. To make all 
buttons of a set look the same use the width parameter, in this example it is 
6.
 
Example:
 
  Button "OK" 58,9,6  
default    do
       ...
    
endItem      text ' ' after, 
same            
  Button "Cancel" after, same,6     
do
       
...    endItem
(These 
may be obvious to the experienced programmer but less so to the 
beginner.)
