TechForum/EventFix

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
The following describes changes to be made to Acorn's RISC_OSLib C library source code, in order to remove
several bugs as described in TechForum. This relates to the file c.event, & within that, to the function
event__process (note the double _ character).


Before:

     /* Look for menu events */
     if (e->e == wimp_EBUT && (wimp_BMID & e->data.but.m.bbits) != 0) 
     {

Insert:

      /*mod by mroz, 19/10/93, re menu opening due to menu click on a menu-button*/
      if (e->e == wimp_EBUT && e->data.but.m.i > -1) {
        wimp_icon ic;
        wimpt_complain(wimp_get_icon_info(e->data.but.m.w, e->data.but.m.i, &ic));
        if ( (ic.flags & (wimp_ITEXT | wimp_ISPRITE | wimp_INDIRECT)) == (wimp_ITEXT | wimp_ISPRITE | wimp_INDIRECT) ) {
          char buf[256], *pd, *ps;
          for (pd=buf, ps=ic.data.indirecttext.validstring; pd<buf+255 && *ps>31; pd++, ps++) *pd=*ps;
          *pd=0;
          if (strstr(buf, "sgright,pgright")) {
            wimp_wstate s;
            e->data.but.m.bbits |= wimp_BMID;   /*make this look like a menu button click*/
            wimpt_complain(wimp_get_wind_state(e->data.but.m.w, &s));
            e->data.but.m.x = s.o.box.x0-s.o.x + ic.box.x1 + 48; /*comply with style guide p96*/
            e->data.but.m.y = s.o.box.y1-s.o.y + ic.box.y1;
          }
        }
      }


Change:

                while (1) 
                {
                   e->data.but.m.y += m->height + m->gap;
                   if ((mi->flags & wimp_MLAST) != 0) break;
                   mi++;
                }

To:

                while (1) 
                {
                   e->data.but.m.y += m->height + m->gap;
                   /*mod by mroz, 19/2/94, re icon bar menu containing dotted line separators - Acorn code was wrong*/
                   if (mi->flags & wimp_MSEPARATE) e->data.but.m.y += 24;
                   /*end of mod*/
                   if ((mi->flags & wimp_MLAST) != 0) break;
                   mi++;
                }


Change:

          event__menux = e->data.but.m.x;
          event__menuy = e->data.but.m.y;
          wimpt_complain(wimp_create_menu((wimp_menustr*) m, e->data.but.m.x - 48, e->data.but.m.y));

To:

          event__menux = e->data.but.m.x-=48;
          event__menuy = e->data.but.m.y;
          wimpt_complain(wimp_create_menu((wimp_menustr*) m, e->data.but.m.x, e->data.but.m.y));
