does anyone have a simple form editor under IV/Unidraw that can do the
following (at the very least):
- manage a form where each entry has a prompt (string/bitmap) for the
user and a corresponding data entry field with some consistency
(ie., error) checking.
for a good form, each data entry field must be general enough that
it can be one of the following:
- string/match editor
- pop up/pull right menu
- enumerated lists that the user can choose from by hitting a
key, ie., the entries simply rotate thru a pre-specified list.
- etc...
- keyboard accelerators and traversal for arrow keys to move around
the form.
- notification mechanism to find out when a value in the form is
changed. Undo'ing capabilities would be nice too, but not
essential.
I had written one years ago using Athena (Yuk!!!) that I am using with my
IV apps (as a separate process communicating via shared mem with the
server), but I'd much rather integrate the form into the IV world. No, I
wouldn't even attempt to port an Athena app to C++ and IV!
I'm using IV-3.0.1/Unidraw/cfront-3.1 combination.
thanks in advance,
mumit
