Windows ooRexx Example Programs
|
||
|
|
===============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Windows distribution of ooRexx comes with a large number of example
|
||
|
|
programs that demonstrate programming with ooRexx. Many of these
|
||
|
|
programs are primarily used to show features of one of the extensions
|
||
|
|
to ooRexx, such as the ooDialog framework, or the OleObject class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To make locating a program of interest easier, the example programs are
|
||
|
|
grouped in subdirectories. This read me file serves as an additional
|
||
|
|
resource to help document the location of different examples.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This top-level directory, (the directory containing this read me file,)
|
||
|
|
contains samples that run unchanged on any platform supported by
|
||
|
|
ooRexx. Subdirectories, with the exception of samples\native.api,
|
||
|
|
contain examples that use Windows only extensions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\api\classic\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains Windows only examples using the old API to
|
||
|
|
write Rexx extensions. The use of the old API to write new Rexx
|
||
|
|
extensions is discouraged and the examples may be removed in future
|
||
|
|
distributions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\misc\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains miscellaneous Windows only examples that do not
|
||
|
|
fit well in the other categories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\api\c++\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains platform independent samples using the C++ API
|
||
|
|
introduced in ooRexx 4.0.0 to write ooRexx extensions. nMake
|
||
|
|
compatible make files for the examples are included in this directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\ole
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory and its subdirectories contain examples using the
|
||
|
|
OleObject class, a Windows only class that gives the programmer access
|
||
|
|
OLE objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few additional samples that combine using the OleObject class and the
|
||
|
|
ooDialog framework are located under samples\oodialog.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\oodialog
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory and its subdirectories contain all example programs that
|
||
|
|
use the ooDialog framework. The ooDialog framework allows the Rexx
|
||
|
|
programmer to easy create programs that have a graphical user
|
||
|
|
interface.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A number of the programs included with the ooDialog examples
|
||
|
|
demonstrate combining other Windows only extensions with the ooDialog
|
||
|
|
framework.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\rexxutils
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This directory contains example programs that use some of the Windows
|
||
|
|
only functions from RexxUtils.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note:
|
||
|
|
-----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the interesting Windows only extensions is the winsystm.cls.
|
||
|
|
The example programs for this class all make use of the ooDialog
|
||
|
|
framework. The examples for the winsystm.cls are located at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\oodialog\winsystm\
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Two excellent examples of using the OleObject, oleinfo.rex and
|
||
|
|
sysinfo.rex, are also located under the oodialog subdirectory. These
|
||
|
|
examples are located at:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\oodialog\oleinfo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
samples\oodialog\sysinfo
|
