Hi
I am having some difficulty understanding how to implement the protoglance
The newton programmer reference guide 2.0 offers this snippet of code to implement
myGlance := {...
_proto: protoglance,
text: "Just a glance...",
viewIdleFrequency:5000,
viewfont: ROM_fontSystem9Bold,
viewJustify: vjCenterV+vjCenterH,
...};
showGlance := {... // Button that opens the glance view
_proto: prototextbutton,
text: "Show it",
ButtonClickScript: func()
myGlance:Open(),
};
I do not understand how to actually implement such code snippets in my project. When i try to export what i have created via a text file in the NTK - i get the following - which doesn’t match what is written above.
PushMe :=
{
buttonClickScript:
func()
LookMe:Open(),
text: "Dare You",
viewBounds: {left: 128, top: 48, right: 188, bottom: 60},
debug: "PushMe",
_proto: @226 /* protoTextButton */
};
AddStepForm(AllAboutTheBaae, PushMe);
LookMe :=
{text: "Boom!",
viewBounds: {left: 33, top: 49, right: 107, bottom: 59},
debug: "LookMe",
_proto: @183 /* protoGlance */
};
AddStepForm(AllAboutTheBaae, LookMe);
How can you easily enter in the example code above into a project? perhaps that is the part that i am missing. Whereas the code compiles fine without error - execution on the newton fails naturally when you push the button - an error occurs.
