#AppMaker for Metrowerks
Message #163888
We have uploaded to Lib 13 (?) an incremental update, AM155.sea, from version 1.5.4 to version 1.5.5 of AppMaker. This new update supports Metrowerks C (i.e. procedural programming). A future version of AppMaker will support the PowerPlant class library. For users with older versions (1.5.x) of AppMaker, a floppy update…
John, Your app has to be able to respond to update events and redraw its windows. So you'll have to have a bunch of code that draws to the screen. If that code is in one place, the update handler, your app will be much simpler than if you have…

Drawing in Windows
Message #163425
In a multi-window environment – Mac, Windows, Motif, etc. – there is a very important technique which is not immediately obvious, not emphasized in the documentation, but which makes all drawing work much better. You probably are writing directly into a window in response to a user event. E.g. when…

Darren, Even if the instructions in THINK Reference were correct, it's only half the solution. You need a user draw procedure (the easy part). You also need a dialog filter proc (ther harder part). (The following is a commercial announcement…) The fastest and easiest way to implement a list in…

Gerry, The AppMaker Demo is in Lib 13, Tools/Debuggers, keywords "AppMaker" and "Demo". It's several files so that you can download only what you want. Spec
Burt, The TCL does not use the Mac List Manager. That's why it doesn't suffer from the many limitations of the List Manager. In the TCL, you'll usually use an ArrayPane which is a Table set up to use an Array. The Table provides all the user interface for a…

Andy, Yes, AppMaker 1.5.4 and 1.5.4X are for TC6 and SC++. I'm pretty sure they won't work with TC5. AppMaker 1.5.3 is the TC5 equivalent to 1.5.4X. Spec
Tony, The problem that Burt had and that you are having is that CPlusLib must be in a resident segment. It's not an AppMaker problem or a TCL problem or a compiler problem. It's just that there are some libraries (CPlusLib and oopsDebug++, possibly others) that must be resident. In…
Burt, Are your radio buttons in a window or in a dialog (modal or modeless). I think that our new code for radio groups is generated in modal dialogs. That's the major part we changed in 1.5.4X. We might not have done it yet elsewhere. Spec
Burt, There are at least two different ways to manage radio buttons in the TCL. Get/SetStationID is one of the ways. (Setting a button to ON and letting ProviderChanged turn off the other buttons is the other way.) Unfortunately, as you have discovered, the ID field of a pane is…

Dave, The AppMaker document *is* a resource file. You can open it and modify it with ResEdit. Conversely, you can open any existing resource file with AppMaker. When you generate code with AppMaker, it looks at whatever resources are in the resource file at that time. So you can make…
