ButtonBar  -  Implementing a Button Bar

by Graham Crow


ButtonBar accompanies the Wimp Topics
article in the magazine and demonstrates the
techniques involved in implementing and
operating a button bar under RISC OS. The
example button bar is from the forthcoming
version 5.0 of the author's program Tiger,
which provides extended file descriptions. This
version implements a Help system for the button
bar, activated by holding down Alt when clicking
on the button.

Also supplied with this version is a special
button bar editor, ButtonEd, to aid in the
creation of button bars. Full instructions on
how to use ButtonEd can be found inside its
Help file.
