Short: GUI creation library (small & fast) Author: P-O Yliniemi / Staffan Hämälä Uploader: peoyli@pluggnet.se (P-O Yliniemi) Version: 37.5 Type: util/libs This is the user distribution of GadUtil library. If you are interested in developing programs that uses this library, you should get the distribution from dev/gui on Aminet. For advanced "normal" users: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two versions of the library are included: one "normal" every-day-use version and one "debug" version. If you experience any trouble running a program that uses gadutil, you should rename the normal version in libs:, copy the debug version to libs, and rename it to gadutil.library. Reverse this to change back to the normal version. Don't forget to "flush" all unused libraries or reboot before testing the program again. Changes overview: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * 37.5 (29-May-96) Bug in PROGRESS_KIND gadget removed. If the gadget was set to show x/0 (also 0/0), a division by zero was done. Two new constants added to the include files: GADUTIL_VER and GADUTIL_REV. Bug fixes in test (demo) programs. The FPF_DISKFONT flag in the TextAttr structure was unset in all demo programs. Replaced the manual version check in the demo programs with the GadUtil function GU_CheckVersion. Removed unnecessary IDCMP flags from the demo programs and replaced GadTools IDCMP with the GU_MinimumIDCMP tag. * 37.4 (14-May-96) Created a new gadget kind: LABEL_KIND. This gadget kind is used to place text relative to other gadgets, bevel boxes, and other texts. Can use the same type of shadows that the text for the bevel box. Implemented a new function in the library: GU_CloseFont. Works like graphics CloseFont, but takes the parameter in A0 instead of A1. Replaced the list sort routine with a new one that sorts better. Wrote a new document, "GadUtil.index", that have a list over all gadutil functions, sorted by what they do. There are also some shortcuts to all tags for gadutil's own gadget kinds. Created two new flags for BEVELBOX_KIND and LABEL_KIND: BB_3DTEXT - can be used as a replacement for GUBB_3DText, TRUE LB_3DTEXT - can be used as a replacement for GULB_3DText, TRUE * 37.3 (10-May-96) Enforcer hits fixed in the code that handles the GU_AdjustLeft and GU_AdjustRight tags. A new function to clear the inner part of a window was added. A new function to size (and move, if necessary) a window was added. Bug fix in assembly language include file. * 37.2 (02-May-96) Started programming in StormC and did some tests with the library, noticed that there was a couple of errors in some include files. GU_UpdateProgress was wrongly specified in the FD/clib files. The output of GU_GetGadgetPtr was specified as (struct Gadget *), this is now corrected. Included an example in C that uses the PROGRESS_KIND gadget. * 37.1 (01-May-96) IMAGE_KIND gadget bug fix. The color of the unselected image of the gadget was wrong, if the image used more than 4 colors. * 37.0 (29-Apr-96) A new function that checks the library's revision added. Two new tags added: GU_FractWidth and GU_FractHeight. Suggested by Morten Amundsen. Some small bug fixes in 'C' include files (unterminated comments). Cleaned up BetterTest.c a bit (removed some {}). Bug fix on the last line of the example (GT_ReplyIMsg -> GU_ReplyIMsg). Added support for StormC in both installer script and include- file installer. Created dictionary for StormC, so that all words that belongs to GadUtil (functions, tags and constants) is shown in another color. * 36.60 (24-Feb-96) Uses the screen's font as the gadget font if no GU_DefTextAttr or GU_TextAttr tag is used. Bug fix from v36.59. Changed some docs, assembled all examples, changed installation scripts. * 36.59 (06-Jan-96) More docs completed (all docs, finally). Bug fix in the GU_AutoWidth, GU_AdjustLeft and GU_AdjustRight tags. The underscore character was counted as a normal one. This made gadgets without hotkeys one char smaller than other gadgets. A new function that sorts one or two lists was added. Some new constants added in include files. Changed GU_MinimumIDCMP to support hotkeys. Changed PROGRESS_KIND to use GU_GadgetText and GU_LocaleText. Uses the screen's font as the gadget font if no GU_DefTextAttr or GU_TextAttr tag is used. * 36.58 (01-Jan-96) SLIDER_KIND and SCROLLER_KIND gadgets returned wrong result in im->Code if the gadget was changes using the hotkey. Bug reported by Lucasz Szelag. * 36.57 (10-Dec-95) Some more docs finished. A memory loss bug was fixed. * 36.56 (10-Oct-95) Changed some routines, so that hotkeys can't be used on disabled gadgets. Made it possible to disable IMAGE_KIND, FILE_KIND and DRAWER_KIND gadgets. * 36.55 (30-Sep-95) Bug fix in the hotkey part of the library. Wrong code were sent back when using GU_LabelHotkey with a LISTVIEW_KIND gadget. A new gadget kind was created, PROGRESS_KIND. * 36.54 (06-Jul-95) Added support for GU_AutoWidth to CYCLE_KIND gadgets. * 36.53 (05-Jul-95) 3 new tags and 4 new flags was added for the BEVELBOX_KIND gadget. BEVELBOX_KIND gadgets can now have a shadow added to the text in the border. The "sun" can be placed in 4 different places. GU_MinimumIDCMP tag was added. * 36.52 (25-Jun-95) First public release. Some new flags for the BEVELBOX_KIND gadget was added. Supports a total of 100 bevelbox kinds.
