StarInfo/Fletcher/WinMgr/!ReadMe
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

File contents
> !ReadMe file for WinMgr (01 Jul 1995)
=========================
To patch either WM3.22m (a non-existant version), or WM3.16 (standard A5000),
grab the module using !Zap and save it as Module in this directory. Then run
the relevant Patch file to install or remove the patch.
The source code for the patches is provided in JFPatch form and the
intermediate basic code for Patch316 is also provided.
For more information on exactly what is happening refer to file Patch316.
Acron's !Patch
--------------
It would appear that patch is very wierd. Firstly it won't allow multiple
patch files for the same application so that different versions can be
catered for. If you do then only the first is recognised, but the data in the
last is held for comparisson and therefore you can't apply it because the
first any last versions will have different offsets and values, and therefore
will only match by name, not contents.
Secondly it resets the path variable when you run it, rather than appending
the path to it once. This is most definately not right in my opinion.
Thirdly, there would appear to be a final %*0 missing from the last line
which means that you must run all files twice if !Patch isn't loaded.
Fourthly, it won't let you patch files, only files within directories. Or
have I done something wrong ?
Other than these few things it's ok.
Anyway, once Patch is loaded only run the patch you need (from the Patches
directory), and you should have saved the window manager from !Zap into this
directory as Module. Then all you need to do is drag the directory on to
patch and click Apply and menu Patch selected to alter the module.
After altering it you need to install it in the !Boot sequence. I may have
detailed this in Patch316, but if I haven't I don't really want to have to
explain it again having written all this rubbish.
Bugs
----
Hi there again. Don't you just love reading my bugs sections ?
Well, as you can see I've managed to fix the problem with the window manager.
If you don't believe me then use the old one with AllWCD and open a filer
window on an item with the Copy window and see the caret at the start of the
text. Now exit the desktop and load the patch and see it work fine.
Almost.
If you try it with !Draw and open the save window you'll see that the caret
is back at the start. The reason for this is that until the window is opened
there is no text in the icon and so the end of the icon is at position 0.
Then when the window opens !Draw puts the text in the icon and the caret
remains at position 0 (the start of the icon). I know, from much
experimenting with the windowmanager that this is approximately what happens,
and that either !Draw sets the pointer to the end of the icon (unlikely) or,
the window manager must keep somewhere a copy of the current settings saying
that the caret is at the _end_ of an icon when you open a window, and
therefore spots the new text and places the caret at the end.
If the later is true then it is failing to spot that the icon is a type 14
and is leaving the caret where it is. If the former, then SetCaretPosition
has some feature which I am unaware of which works differently between type
14 and type 15 icons. This problem where the task sets the icontext when the
window opens seems to occur with C based programs (probably the library's
fault) and so is a) very difficult to track and b) almost impossible to
bypass as I don't have C to examine the structures.
So that's the end of the story.
� You now have TextCopy which fills a gap in the OS by allowing drags of
WI's but can't drag type 15 icons.
� You have AllWCD which fixes this problem by causing all WI's to be type 15,
but causes the caret to not appear in sub-menu windows.
� You have WinMgr patch which makes the caret appear in sub-menu windows, but
sometimes leaves it in the wrong place.
All this just because Acorn felt a little bit lazy when they wrote Arthur.
Hey-hum, well you can't have everything I suppose. I've tried to give you it
all, but I really can't be bothered any longer. I could keep writing modules
to fix the bugs caused by other modules till the cows come home, but I think
that WinMgr patch is perhaps the last I need to do as it doesn't leave such a
big bug.
If, however, anybody feels like writing a patch for the above problem it will
go something like this :
� Use filter manager to watch for Open window events
� When caught the filter will find out if we are in a menu by using
Wimp_GetMenuState with r0=0 and checking if the first entry is not -1.
This is not fool-proof as the window may be the top level of the menu so
that it vanishes when clicked outside of, but will probably work.
� If in a sub-menu a flag is set.
� A WimpSWIve routine on SetCaretPosition will check if the flag is set and
if so will scan the icon specified and place the caret at the index of
the end of the icon. This is in case the application sets the caret
position in the open window section. The flag will also be cleared.
� If the filter is entered with the flag set (ie the task has returned
after opening the window without touching the caret), then the window
last opened (stored from last filter) is looked at (Wimp_GetWindowState,
bit 0 set) and all the icons in it examined for type 14/15. When one is
found the caret is placed at the end of it. If none is found then no
action is taken. The flag should then be cleared.
That's how I reckon it should work. The two seperate techniques are mainly
because I don't know how the caret is moved in C (see above). But do remember
that that patch will be the /fourth/ to just make TextCopy possible and
therefore things are getting a little silly.
I wonder if the RPC still only checks for type 15 icons ? I would, if I had
any, but money on it.
Acknowledgements
----------------
This is for the whole TextCopy patch (ie everything I've done relating to it
- TextCopy, AllWCD, WinMgr patch and related docs and programs).
Thanks to Andrew Clover for giving me WimpSWIve to work with in versions 0.02
- 0.04 (from which Backing still has to emerge :-( ) and for his support for
my programs which tend to use it. Thanks a load Andrew, it makes life oh so
much easier.
Thanks to the Fido Archimedes Echo for their suggestion that I write this
patch, and particularly to Robin Abecasis for whom I wrote RecErrors as a
direct spin off and it only worked on my machine (sorry).
Thanks to Nick Craig-Wood for making encouraging enough sounds to make me
write the fabled dragging of WI's instead of just drags to WI's and his
Shift-Drag suggestion.
Thanks to Alex Hayward for telling me about the ExtEdit problems which I seem
to have cured without knowing quite how.
