MailWatch [ Tooltypes ]

Tooltypes

The current tooltypes for the MailWatch program are:

Tooltype Default Description
CONFIG ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs The name of a configuration file to load (as saved by MailWatchPrefs).
MWDF modules/appicons.mwdf The name of the MailWatch GUI definition module to use.
CX_POPUP YES Determines whether MailWatch is enabled or not when it starts up. Possible values are YES, NO, TRUE or FALSE.
CX_PRIORITY 0 Determines the position of MailWatchPrefs in the commodities.library input chain.

Tooltype	Default	Description
CONFIG	`ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs`	The name of a configuration file to load (as saved by MailWatchPrefs).
MWDF	`modules/appicons.mwdf`	The name of the MailWatch GUI definition module to use.
CX_POPUP	`YES`	Determines whether MailWatch is enabled or not when it starts up. Possible values are `YES`, `NO`, `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
CX_PRIORITY	`0`	Determines the position of MailWatchPrefs in the commodities.library input chain.

The program looks for the modules in the directory you specify it in, and then (I am pretty sure that this is standard AmigaDOS behaviour) in LIBS:. Therefore, you can specify the modules by name only if they are to reside in any directory which is part of the LIBS: path, or you can specify them by their full path and hide them somewhere else on the hard drive.

MailWatchPrefs looks for these tooltypes:

Tooltype Default Description

CONFIG ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs The name of a configuration file to load.
PUBSCREEN (DefPubScreen) The name of the public screen that the program should open its window on.

FONT (Screen Font) The name of the font to be used for the GUI. Should be given in the form XHelvetica/11 or XHelvetica.font/11. If the name is specified, but not the size, 11 is used as a default size.

TICKS NO If this tooltype is present, then MailWatchPrefs will use 'ticks' as its timing measure, instead of seconds (50 ticks = 1 second, i.e. a tick = 1/50th of a second).
CX_POPUP YES Determines whether MailWatchPrefs starts up active or not. Possible values are YES, NO, TRUE or FALSE.
CX_PRIORITY 0 Determines the position of MailWatchPrefs in the commodities.library input chain.
CX_HOTKEY (None) If MailWatchPrefs is hidden, this hotkey will open its window. If it is not, the hotkey will instead bring the window to the front (and switch screens if necessary).

Tooltype	Default	Description
CONFIG	`ENV:MailWatch/MailWatch.prefs`	The name of a configuration file to load.
PUBSCREEN	(DefPubScreen)	The name of the public screen that the program should open its window on.
FONT	(Screen Font)	The name of the font to be used for the GUI. Should be given in the form `XHelvetica/11` or `XHelvetica.font/11`. If the name is specified, but not the size, 11 is used as a default size.
TICKS	`NO`	If this tooltype is present, then MailWatchPrefs will use 'ticks' as its timing measure, instead of seconds (50 ticks = 1 second, i.e. a tick = 1/50th of a second).
CX_POPUP	`YES`	Determines whether MailWatchPrefs starts up active or not. Possible values are `YES`, `NO`, `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
CX_PRIORITY	`0`	Determines the position of MailWatchPrefs in the commodities.library input chain.
CX_HOTKEY	(None)	If MailWatchPrefs is hidden, this hotkey will open its window. If it is not, the hotkey will instead bring the window to the front (and switch screens if necessary).

All of these tooltype definitions will also be accepted as arguments if MailWatch or MailWatchPrefs are run from the CLI.
