Short: Relative BOOPSI Gadget + GroupGadget Author: Jeroen Massar (t-jeroem@microsoft.com) Uploader: Jeroen Massar (t-jeroem@microsoft.com) Type: dev/gui These couple of BOOPSI gadgets allow you to create a fast total BOOPSI window which resizes automaticaly because it uses the input.device task. This is totally OS legal and it is the best way to make use of the full set of features of BOOPSI. Why another GUI? I hear you say, well simply when you use MUI, it takes too much memory (like those huge MS programs). Secondly, the program has to watch the user if it changes the dimensions of the window, eg. the program always to call the GUI's wait routine. With this solution you simply call Exec's GetMsg() when you really have time to wait and when you really want to know if the user pressed a button. This solution is generally less CPU and memory intensive. This is a developer release, if you have some comments about my way of thinking or about these gadgets in general mail me... You should simply copy the classes directory to your sys: partition of your harddisk and then check out DaGuru to see the gadgets at work. The gadgets could send things to the serial port, as I've not removed/disabled all debug code, so enable sushi! The DaGuru interface is derived from the interface of The Guru 3.0 by Emiel Lensink, he knows about these gadgets and the user-interface. You can include *ANY* BOOPSI gadget you want and it'll resize whenever possible. The gadgets are arranged in a group and by setting orientation you can specify how the group is layed out. Simply using a group inside a group allows you to create any GUI you want. PS: Like you should've noticed, I've got an Microsoft e-mail address, well this can be explained very easily, I'm currently doing a practical year, half of which I did in the Dijkzigt Hospital's Thoraccentre in Rotterdam, Holland and the other at the PSS Group of Microsoft in Hoofddorp, Holland. The e-mail address is valid until 6-6-1997. ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 2278 1134 50.2% 10-Feb-97 22:06:18 Relative.info 6776 4017 40.7% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +relbutton.gadget 7020 4534 35.4% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +relgroup.gadget 5904 3643 38.2% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +virtual.gadget 4432 2826 36.2% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +value.model 12056 5987 50.3% 10-Feb-97 22:45:38 +DaGuru 25879 7843 69.6% 10-Feb-97 22:45:38 +DaGuru.c 2258 685 69.6% 10-Feb-97 22:45:40 +DaGuru.h 3036 780 74.3% 10-Feb-97 22:45:40 +DaGuru.info 6870 2143 68.8% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +relbutton.h 7891 2474 68.6% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +relgroup.h 7666 2424 68.3% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +virtual.h 5722 1651 71.1% 10-Feb-97 22:06:00 +value.h 2010 1057 47.4% 10-Feb-97 22:47:52 +Relative.readme 538 306 43.1% 10-Feb-97 22:11:14 +SCOPTIONS -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 100336 41504 58.6% 12-Feb-97 15:08:40 15 files
