Below are the intros to two new XCMDs I've just posted to info-mac@sumex.
Subject: StandardFile XCMD v2
This stack contains version 2 of my StandardFile XCMD. This XCMD will
generate standard file get, put and folder selection dialogs. The
types of file to allow (get), the prompt and default name (put) and
the "open" button name (all) are easily settable. This was going to be
part of a larger stack, but I havn't been able to work on it since
Oct, so I thought I'd just post this XCMD. The XCMD is copyright
freeware, you may use it freely for non-commercial/profit purposes.
Enjoy.
Subject: SetKeyboard XCMD - an updated ControlLock, allows key msgs in HC
This stack contains SetKeyboard XCMD an update to my ControlLock XCMD.
It allows keyboard messages to be generated in HyperCard. SetKeyboard
supports four modes: (a) locking the "control" key - this causes
"controlKey" messages to be sent for every non-command key hit, the
control key is locked even if your keyboard does not have one! [same
as ControlLock]; (b) mapping command-key combos to control-key combos
- this again causes "controlKey" messages to be sent [suggested by
Eric Kofoid]; (c) mapping the number pad keys 1 -> 9 into the function
keys 1 -> 9 - this causes "functionKey" messages to be sent; and (d)
which is simply (b) and (c) together. The XCMD is also supplied as an
FKEY in case you'd like to use it outside of HyperCard. Tested ONLY on
a Mac Plus/1Mb Sys 6.0.2, but should work on other Macs (ControlLock
did and its just an extension of the same code...). Copyright, free
for non-commercial use. Enjoy!
