Scroll Menus v1.1____________________________________________________copyright 1994 Ben Gottlieb and Stand Alone SoftwareScroll menus is an auto part package (which means there's no icon in your extrasdrawer,) which, when installed, will allow any menu with too many items to fit onscreen to scroll. If there are more items after the items shown, tapping on thedown arrow will show the next screenful, and tapping the up arrow will show theprevious screen. The most common use for this is the card app in the extrasdrawer. Now, if there are more than 23 packages installed on your newton, you canget to all of them to delete those you no longer want. There are two versions of Scroll Menus...Double (ScrMnDbl.pkg) and Single (ScrMnSgl.pkg). The only difference is that Double places both arrows at the bottom of the list, and Single places the up arrow at the top, and the down arrow at the bottom. They cannot both be installed on your newton simultaneously.NOTE: There is a conflict with Hardy Macia's ScrollingDoPopup package. It willonly occur if ScrollingDoPopup is installed *after* Scroll Menus. To alleviate it, install ScrollingDoPopup on the internal store, or remove Scroll Menus (kinda redundant to have both installed.) In addition, there are a few applications out there that do not adhere to convention, and make odd calls to the DoPopup function (which Scroll Menus patches.) As a result, sometimes when you bring up a popup menu, it will be misaligned with the button that called it. Don't worry, it will work normally, this is merely a cosmetic effect.Programmer's Note: Scroll Menus allows you to add functionality to the standardDoPopup command normally not available. You can change the starting position ina multiline pop up, change the font on the menu, or set it to recieve multipleselections before closing. This is all done by using a frame instead of anarray for the first argument. The DoPopup function will return a view, which isthe created protoPicker. You can send this view messages such as :Close(),:SetItemMark(index, mark), and :GetItemMark(index).The first argument has to be either an array of pick items, or a frame of thefollowing form: { list: array, stayOpen: boolean, viewFont: fontFrame, start: integer } The slots are: list: An array of list items, the normal first argument to DoPopup. stayOpen: A boolean. If true, the pop up will not close when an item is selected (but will close if the user taps outside of it.) You can close it manually by sending the view returned by the DoPopup command a :Close() message. viewFont: either an integer (one of the fonts defined in the NTK definitions file,) or a font frame of the form: {family: 'newYork, 'espy, or 'geneva, face: 0 for plain, 1 for bold, 2 for italic, etc, size: font size (an integer) } start: If it's a multiscreen list, then this will be the index of the first item shown (ie, if you pass 10, and it's a 40 item list, then the pop up will be shown with items 10 - 33, rather than 1 - 23.) If you want to use the :SetItemMark(...) function, be sure your pickItemsare in RAM, because it will need to modify slots in them, and if they're inpackage ROM, you'll get an exception (use DeepClone(pickItems) if yourpickitems are just a slot in your package. Before calling this function with the frame, you should check to make sure thatthe patch has been installed on the user's newton. Use this code fragment tocheck this: IF functions.|OldDoPopup:SAS| EXISTS THEN DoPopup(frameArg, 0, 0, self); ELSE DoPopup(arrayArg, 0, 0, self);If you would like to include a registered version of Scroll Menus in yourpackage, please contact me for distribution agreements.___________Legal Stuff:I am in no way responsible for any loss of data that may occur as a direct orindirect result of using this software package, so you can't sue me! _______________________________________________________________If you have any comments, suggestions, bug reports, or requests, I can be reached at the following addresses:Internet: StandAlone@Kagi.comeWorld: gottlbAOL: PDC BenCompuServe: 76342,3057Snail Mail: Stand Alone Software 708 Forest Ave. Evanston, IL 60202_______________________________________________________________________________This application is shareware.
