[Ql-Users] SMSQmulator 1.23

2014-01-25 Thread Wolfgang Lenerz


Hi all,

v. 1.23 of SMSQmulator can be downloaded.

(www.wlenerz.com/SMSQmulator)

This uses SMSQE 3.18.

You might want to updgrade, there was bug in the directory creation 
routine for WIN drives.



Have fun.

Wolfgang

[Ql-Users] SMSQE 3.18

2014-01-25 Thread Wolfgang Lenerz

Hi all,

SMSQE 3.18 is out (www.wlenerz.com/smsqe)

This allows programs that are devised for it to have a CSIZE for 
application subwindows other than 0,0.



You can find a demo program for that at www.lenerz.com/QLStuff



Application subwindow text objects may now have character sizes other 
than 0,0.

Of course, this only applies to programs specially written to take
advantage of these xiszes.

The values for the csizes are stored in the working definition at 
previously unused locations ($26 and $27).
The values are the same as those for the CSIZE command i.e. 0 to 3 for 
the x csize and 0 or 1 for the y csize. Behaviour if other values are 
given is undefined.


Note that the csizes are, of course, the same for all objects of a menu
application sub-window (but different appsubwdw may have different csizes).

How to use these:

1 - For the machine code programmer :

The values are stored at offsets

wwa_xcsz equ$26
wwa_ycsz equ$27

in the working definition, as byte-sized values.
The key files have been amended to suit.

You may also set these sizes in a menu appsub definition which will
be converted to a working definition by the standard setup vector. In that
case set the values BELOW the start of the normal defintion : at -4 of the
start, set a flag, i.e. a long word 'XTND' and at -6 set a word with the
x (-6) and y (-5) csizes values as bytes.

DO NOT FORGET TO ADJUST THE SIZES OF YOUR OBJECTS' HITSIZE AND SPACING IF
YOU USE BIGGER CHARACTERS.


2 - For the basic programmer.

Two procedures have been created for the two common toolkits, qptr and 
easyotr.


For qptr :
--

def proc set_csizes_QPTR (appsub_list,num%,x_csize%,y_csize%)
rem set the csizes for menu appsub windows
rem params:
rem   appsub_list
rem the appsub list as returned by the RD_AWTA basic function  and/or
rem the MK_AWL extension
rem   num%
rem the appsub number, starting at 1 for the first appsub wdw
rem   x_csize%
rem  the x csize (0 ... 3), same as for the CSIZE command
rem   y_csize%
rem  the y csize (0 or 1), same as for the CSIZE command
rem
rem   If there is any error in the parameters, this just gives up silently
rem   without generating an error
rem
local appsub_nbr%,appsub
  appsub_nbr%=peek_w(appsub_list)   : rem nbr of appsub wdws
  if appsub_nbr%  num% or num%  1: return : rem wrong appsub number
  appsub=peek_l(appsub_list+2+4*(num%-1))   : rem get poiner to 
appsub wdw

  if x_csize%  -1 and x_csize%  4
  poke appsub+38,x_csize%   : rem set size
  endif
  if y_csize%  -1 and y_csize%  2
  poke appsub+39,y_csize%   : rem set size
  endif
end def set_csizes_QPTR


Call this procedure once you have created the appsub list.

For easyptr:


def proc set_csizes_EASYPTR (channel%,num%,x_csize%,y_csize%)
rem set the csizes for menu appsub windows
rem params:
rem   channel%
rem the channel number, which must be the same one as used for MAWDRAW
rem or MAWSETUP. THIS DOES NOT DEFAULT TO ANYTHING, you MUST
rem supply this parameter correctly.
rem   num%
rem the appsub number, starting at 1 for the first appsub wdw
rem   x_csize%
rem  the x csize (0 ... 3), same as for the CSIZE command
rem   y_csize%
rem  the y csize (0 or 1), same as for the CSIZE command
rem
rem   If there is any error in the parameters, this just gives up silently
rem   without generating an error
rem
local appsub_nbr%,appsub
  appsub= MWDEF(#channel%)  : rem the working 
definition

  appsub_nbr%=peek_w(appsub+110): rem nbr of appsub wdws
  if appsub_nbr%  num% or num%  1: return : rem wrong appsub number
  appsub=peek_l(appsub+112) : rem point to appsub list
  appsub=peek_l(appsub+4*(num%-1))  : rem get poiner to 
appsub wdw

  if x_csize%  -1 and x_csize%  4
  poke appsub+38,x_csize%   : rem set size
  endif
  if y_csize%  -1 and y_csize%  2
  poke appsub+39,y_csize%   : rem set size
  endif
end def set_csizes_EASYPTR
:

For this to work, create your menu with the MAWSETUP command and
call this procedure afterwords.


You will find both procedures in a common file  :
dev8_extras_source_setcsizes_bas.


DO NOT FORGET TO ADJUST THE SIZES OF YOUR OBJECTS' HITSIZE AND SPACING 
IF YOU USE BIGGER CHARACTERS.

Hi Wolfgang,

unfortunately the demo can't be found... error 404 is returned.

Just a shameless plug for a blog post I've just written... ;-)

Very interesting.

And here am I trying to update NET_PEEK using QPC2 on an apple MAC.

The QL just keeps on going!
