AllWriteClickDrag
=================
Version 1.00 (22 Jun 1995)
Introduction
------------
Well, what can I say. It works! I'm sorry, but after a few assembly bugs like
specifying registers where offsets should have been used the first test run
works! Now for me that is pretty amazing as it usually takes about 2 hours to
debug code, but then again there isn't really much that could go wrong with
it.
Anyway, as I mentioned in TextCopy there is no real difference between type
15 (Write) and type 14 (Write/Click/Drag) icons, except that TextCopy can't
handle drags from the former. I did suggest in the !Help file that I could
get around this in the module by lots of time consuming �hack-arounds�, but
this seemed a much simpler option.
What it does is intercepts all Wimp_CreateIcon and Wimp_CreateWindow calls
and changes every type 15 icon into a type 14. Easy� :-)
The overall effect is not apparent to the user except that he can drag those
icons, and any well written program should simply ignore button clicks it
cannot handle and therefore be oblivious to the change. However, Impression
is noted for being picky about what happens to it, so I'm just off to test it
there, back in a mo�
It would appear that whatever it uses as the point size icon it's not
writable. In fact, in deference to the fact that it is a perfectly usable
writable icon it is using type 10 (Click/drag/double-click). Why it should do
this I'm not sure, but it could just be a stupid programmer or the ABI
messing things up. The following icons work :
Save �
Scale �
Edit style=>Name � after a manner
Key short cut �
Leadering �
Decimal tab �
Print=>From �
To �
Scale �
Copies �
Edit frame=> all bar insets �
inset � (Why when the others don't ?)
Text size box �
Alter chapter=> any �
Define new style=>Name �
Preferences=>save every �
Line space box �
Find box=> all �
Dictionary=> all �
Iconbar preferences=>all �
Colour picker=>RGB or HSV values �
Most other point or percentage �
That's most of impression sorted. Almost all other applications are produced
by sane people and therefore use writable icons for what appear to be
writable icons, so it should work.
Stupid, stupid Computer Concepts. What's so wrong with FormEd that you have
to use your silly ABI thingy so that we can't edit your templates to sensible
states ?
Usage
-----
Run the !Run file. That's it.
Hopefully, the code will be assembled with no errors and all that in
future will be required is the running of the resultant code file.
How it works
------------
Well I've pretty much explained that. It uses WimpSWIve (� Andrew Clover) to
intercept CreateIcon and CreateWindow calls and replaces all type 15 icons
with type 14.
Bugs
----
Hmm. Well, you know that I wrote this to fix the bug about dragging
icons ? Well, by having written it there would appear to be a bug which is
created by the Wimp (not me) when you open windows off menus. It would appear
that when they wrote the code to handle such events and to put the caret in
the correct icon they omitted one thing - a check for type 14 icons. This
means that if you open a window off a menu with AllWCD installed the menu
will not get the input focus.
Comprendez ? 'cos it gets better !
The *only* way to get around this is to patch the WindowManager directly
(as it the actual module). This is more difficult, but can be done with a
little practice. You will have to see the WinMgr patch to find out more about
this patch.

Source code
-----------
This program requires the !JFPatch pre-assembler to make the code. This is
a simple text-to-basic assembler which takes a text assembler file, makes a
basic program from it to assemble, assembles it and returns any errors.
Currently, it is under development and requires a lot of work before it will
be released in any form. As such, the patch file is mostly useless, but must
be distributed with the resultant module.
All source code an the resultant module must be distributed together.
