[comp.sys.mac] Help for a MPW newcomer ?

ralph@qtecmuc.UUCP (10/11/87)

Hello Net,

I'm new in this group (and on Mac) and Apple support in germany is rather poor !
(APDA is a 1 man company here !)
We have to port several compilers to control a external
Dig.Sig.Processor. These Compilers are ready and now
I have to fight with this Mac Userinterface , eg. creating different 
windows with lots of controls. I`d like to implement a sliding potentiometer
(similiar like the one in the contol field d/a) ... but how  ?

* Could anybody give me some hints (or code examples). A scroll bar would do it,  too.
* What does this "pass" routine in Lightspeed do ? (any GlobalToLocal stuff ?)
  (I have MPW). 
* Could somebody post me the C syntax for the Controlmanager subroutines ?
  In Inside Mac there are only in pascal and it seems not always to
  be equivalent; eg. FindControl(thePoint ...) has to be "&point" ; sigh
* Is there an index of comp.sources.mac (especially an archive in europe ?)

thanks for answering
