GINOMENU v7

13 new routines and 8 new optional arguments have been added to the library providing the following functionality:

  • A new widget type has been added in this release which is the spinner or up-down control. It can be associated with a value entry for directly controlling the value.

  • RTF text entries have been enhanced with the ability of providing HyperText link callbacks. A user can now click or double-click on a string that has been assigned a hypertext font attribute which will then generate a hypertext link callback.

  • For Windows XP users, documentation has been added to explain how to utilize the current XP theme and mouse-sensitive widgets with the appropriate initialization being carried out in the GINOMENU DLL.

  • In the area of callbacks, a new routine is provided to check the callback queue for particular types of callbacks and greater control of windows messages is provided with the ability to trap messages that are not being used by GINOMENU.
  • The resizing of floating docking panes is now permitted in two directions by selecting one of the four corners of the widget.
  • A new optional property, gmTabList is provided to add or remove a widget from the tab list. For Array Grid widgets gmTabAction has been added to provided three modes of action for the TAB key within this widget.
  • Two routines have been added to enable an enquiry and import of data from an internal bitmap resource (i.e.. Bitmap, icon or cursor). The data can then be used by the GINO routines gDrawPixelArea or gDrawCellArray.

Programmable GUI Builder
GINOMENU is a subroutine toolkit for developing GUI applications under Windows. It provides extensive window and widget building modules allowing professional user-interfaces to be created under Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP without the need to get involved in MFC, API or mixed-language programming.

Optional high level graphics facilities featured in GINO and GINO Bundle can be fully utilized to provide a complete graphics development environment for any application.

GINOMENU is unique in not only providing access to the Windows API to the programmer but also making it extremely easy to use; no knowledge of system event loops or window handles is required and a basic program containing a simple window can be created with less than 15 lines of code!
