Ok, This is my third plea for help with the List Manager.
Has anyone out ther used this before?? If so, please enlighten me
in its workings.
I would like to implement a text-only list with scroll bars, selection of
items, but have not had any luck on my own.
Thanks for your help.

I think nobody's answering because nobody can figure out what your problems are. Of all the Toolbox managers and packages, the List Manager is pretty much the easiest. I presume you've read the entire chapter in IM4 a couple of times, and have some specific questions? Since I don't normally bring my Mac stuff to work, I can't just type in a sample chunk of code by reading the book, but it really was that easy for me! Could you post some specific questions?

I recently dug into the list manager routines for the first time as well. It isn't too difficult, but there is just a little of reading between the lines in IM. I suggest getting a copy a recent issue (I can't remember which one - within the last 6 months) of Byte Magazine. There is an article in one of the issues that holds your hand through a simple list manager application and helps you understand what comes before and with what. Once you get over the first hurdle the rest is fairly obvious.

I'd like to do something fairly simple with the List Manager, put so far have had little or no success. All I want to do is to present a scrollable list of text choices, as in the Standard File Packages, put I can't find in Inside Mac IV how exactly to tell the List Manager what to print and how to display it. I would greatly appreciate any sample source code people have had success with. Please respond by e-mail if possible. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------ Rick Ernst Department of Physics rick@control.uchicago.edu The University of Chicago

I'm trying to use the list manager to display a list I've created. I can get the window to come up and can even get the scroll bars to appear but nothing I add to it shows up. When I call lnew i set draw to true. What could i be missing I do addcol and addrow then a addtorow. I give addtorow a pointer (@teststring) Help!

Help! I am trying to get the list manager to put a list up for me! I think I need to create an event loop? But even before I get to that problem (really quite simple) I need to know how to get the items to show up in the list. I have the box of the list window and the scroll bars working (ie showing up) fine. I adcol and addrow then addtocell and give a pointer to a string. Then I even drawcell. Nothing is displayed. What am i missing. It must be something simple! Thanks!

The following code produces nothing in my window. Using THINK C 4.0,
System 6.0.7. The "cellSize" item in the ListRec seems to be blown. Can
anyone help?
Rect rView = {20,20, 145,110};
Rect dataBounds = {0,0, 2,12};
Point cSize = {40,40};
int myRow;
char testStuff[] = "\pHow about this?";
Point testCell = {0, 0};
ListHandle theList;
.
.
SelectWindow (myWindTab[helpWindSub].myWindPtr);
.
.
SetPort (&myWindTab[myWindSub].myWindRec.port);
TextFont(geneva);
TextSize(10);
theList = LNew(&rView, &dataBounds, &cSize,
NIL, myWindTab[myWindSub].myWindPtr, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);
LSetCell (&testStuff[1], (int) testStuff[0], &testCell, theList);
LDraw (&testCell, theList);
InvalRect (&myWindTab[myWindSub].myWindRec.port.portRect);
.
.
(later LUpdate in response to Update Event in main event loop)

I keep forgetting too, but the best way to remember whether it's 1-based or 0-based is: What's returned from AddRow (AddCol) is a 1-based number. =============================================================================== | Glenn L.
