DATE : August 17, 1992 PAGE : 1/2
TITLE : Converting Personal Programmer Applications to Run
In Paradox 4.0 Compatible User Interface Mode
This Technical Information sheet illustrates how to enable
Personal Programmer applications to run under Paradox 4.0 in the
Compatible User Interface mode. The Video sample application
that was shipped with Paradox versions 3.5 and earlier will be
used as an example application to be converted. The examples
presented below assume that you have completed the Video Tutorial
in Paradox Version 3.5 or earlier. Perform the following
operations while running Paradox 4.0.
1. Change your working directory to the location where the
application resides.
e.g. Tools | More | Directory | C:\pdox35\pprog\video
2. Set the application's User Interface mode to Compatible by
modifying the script with the name of your application.
For example, if the application name is Video, then the
script that needs to be modified is Video.
a. From the Paradox Menu,
choose Scripts | Editor | Open.
b. When prompted, type in the application name.
c. Insert a line at the beginning of your script.
Press <Enter>, then move your cursor up one line.
d. Type the following PAL code:
SETUIMODE COMPATIBLE
This line tells Paradox 4.0 to use the Paradox 3.5
User Interface (Compatible mode). This will allow
for consistency in menu choices and screen
displays.
e. Save the script by pressing <F2>.
3. Play the script that re-creates your library files. The
name of this script will be the name of your application
name followed by "lib."
