Mike,
I never said that UltraCard "MONITOR MOUSE MESSAGES". It's just that I
grabbed one of the Windows off of the UltraCard 1.0 browser demo with
PowerWindows and couldn't find any gadgets on it. The Menus were there, but no
Gadgets. Now this was on the rolodex screen, I think, and none of the fields
that appeared on the Window were represented by string Gadgets. I also noticed
that if I typed too far in the fields the characters extended out beyond the
field's visible area and I got a lot of garbage right below the field. This,
of course, is not the way that Intuition string Gadgets work.
I don't have your source code, so naturally I cannot really say exactly what
was going on, but it seemed that you were definitely substituting some of your
own code for a basic Amiga construct: The string Gadget. Is that not correct?
Anyway, relax. Of course UltraCard uses the OS, its running on an Amiga,
after all. My comment was meant for emphasis that CanDo utilizes and gives
access to nearly every major feature of Intuition and the rest of the OS like
no other software I've ever seen. Add to that that the software that runs its
scripts is under 100K and can be made resident, and I think we have one great
tool.
We don't even intend to compare our product with yours. I was just answering
a question.
