Short: ReqTools 2.2c - the requester toolkit Type: util/libs Author: nico@augfl.be (Nico Francois) reqtools.library is a standard Amiga shared, runtime library. The purpose of ReqTools is to make it a lot quicker and easier to build standard requesters into your programs. ReqTools is designed with Commodore's style guidelines in mind, all requesters have the look-and-feel of AmigaDOS Release 2. ReqTools features the following requesters: a query requester, a string requester, a number requester, a file requester, a font requester, a palette requester, a volume requester and a screenmode requester. Also included are RTPatch (1.3) and RexxReqTools (1.2e): RTPatch is a small program that will re-route functions from most popular requester libraries to ReqTools. Libraries currently supported are Arp, Req and Asl. RTPatch will also patch some functions in Intuition to give you improved system requesters. RexxReqTools gives ARexx users easy access to a large family of requesters. All requesters are easy to use; they require one or no arguments. But the requesters also have a lot of power through several optional arguments and through tagstrings. RexxReqTools itself doesn't implement any of these requesters, it is a link between ARexx and ReqTools. ************************************************************************* RELEASE 2.2c (Library version 38.390 [1.3] - 38.1266 [2.0]) Since using VideoControl() to get the visible display clip only seems to work when the screen in question is the frontmost screen the rtGetVScreenSize() function now falls back to using QueryOverscan() for screens that are in the back (thanks to Dietmar Eilert for reporting this). Changed method of filtering DOS devices that are shown in the file and volume requesters again. Window size and gadget layout is now calculated in a sysihack compatible way. Bug fix: screenmode requester should no longer "lose" characters in the color slider values on Kickstarts below V40 (3.1). Bug fix: fixed enforcer hits that occured when the screenmode requester came up with an empty list (all modes filtered out e.g.). Minor bug fix: backfill pattern in EZRequesters now uses BACKGROUNDPEN instead of pen 0. Polish catalogs for library and preference editor included.
