It popped the gadget, menus, texts and boxes to early. (37.288) 01-Apr-1993 NF-SA Now selecting open will allow you to load a .G or .GUI file. GTB automatically determines what file it is. For compatibility F7 still works. Suggested by Kai Bolay. (37.189) 01-Apr-1993 MIN Fixed a small bug in the .G file reader. (37.290) 03-Apr-1993 MAJ The <Project_Name>_CNT EQU's where not always generated. Bug found by Christian Pekeler. (37.291) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GadToolsBox V2.0 - 37.273 (released 13-March-1993) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 23-Sep-1992 SA Changed the "Gadgets" menu. I admit that it was a little messy but now it's cleaned up a little. Suggested by Reza Elghazi. (37.183) 24-Sep-1992 NF Added the Undercore tag in the ListView editor. Why did nobody notice that it wasn't there? Also changed the minimum MaxChars in the STRING and INTEGER gadgets from 2 to 1. (37.184) 24-Sep-1992 NF-SA Totally redone the menu editors. Now all actions are done in one window and more accoording to the Style Guide. Also the screen now only allows GUI modes which means that modes with a standard horizontal resolution that is less that 640 pixels are not supported anymore. (37.185) 28-Sep-1992 NF Now GadToolsBox uses the new gadtoolsbox.library which is still in a early stage but progressing. This will be a library containing some very usefull routines when working with gadtools and it will help people to write external source generators for GadToolsBox (37.186) 28-Sep-1992 MIN Now GadToolsBox does not see a slider or scroller that broadcasts a up & down message as a double- click. Bug found by Marcel Offermans. (37.187) 01-Oct-1992 MIN GadToolsBox did not work with PopUpMenu. Now it does. Bug found by Kai Bolay/Micheal Hohmann. (37.188) 03-Oct-1992 NF Started to use the "gadtoolsbox.library" it's extremely easy and efficient hotkey handling. Now only the menu editor uses it but soon all gadget hotkeys will be handled by the library. (37.189) 05-Oct-1992 NF-SA Now the right mouse button can be used to cancel operations. Suggested by several people. (37.190) 06-Oct-1992 SA Moved the version string closer to the beginning of the executable. Suggested by Roy van der Woning (37.191). 18-Oct-1992 MAJ Still working on the re-designed GUI. Found a wierd join/split bug. GadToolsBox would totally screw up the joining and splitting of string and listview gadgets. (37.192) 22-Oct-1992 MAJ When deleting the contents of a string gadget and then editing that same gadget could/would cause a big ugly GURU. Bug found by Garry Glendown. (37.193) 24-Oct-1992 MIN Fixed the routine that checks for double used gadget source labels. (37.194) 26-Oct-1992 NF Added a great new feature. I have changed the old style move/size to the same method used by Tool- maker and Precognition which is really 1.000.000 times better that the old way. (37.195) 27-Oct-1992 MIN The GA_Disabled tag of the Cycle gadget was not processed correctly. Bug found by Marcel Offermans. (37.196) 28-Oct-1992 MIN Fixed a wierd bug. GTB uses the nofrag.library for its memory allocations. The nofrag.library is a library which takes big blocks from the system free memory pool in which small memory chunks are allocated. The nofrag.library automatically de- allocates unused memory blocks. Because of a de-allocation error withing GTB a small amount of bytes where left in each memory block which caused the nofrag.library to think that the block was still in use and therefore it did not de- allocate it. This would leave the memory allocated while GTB was running. (37.197) 28-Oct-1992 MIN Added window switching using the keyboard. Suggested by someone.... ( I forgot who it was, SHAME ON ME!) (37.198) 28-Oct-1992 MIN Fixed a bug with the information printing. Sometimes GadToolsBox printed that there was no information on a window while in fact there was information on the window. Bug found by several people. (37.199) 02-Nov-1992 NF-SA Now you can use F9 to switch the screen title-bar on and off. Note that this only works with BACK DROP windows. Suggested by Klaus Nachtigall. (37.200) 03-Nov-1992 NF Added th menu strips using an IFF file structure. (37.201) 04-Nov-1992 NF Added the possibility to seperatly Save and Load the bevel boxes using an IFF file structure. (37.202) 04-Nov-1992 NF Added the possibility to seperatly Save and Load the window texts using an IFF file structure. (37.203) 07-Nov-1992 CH The "Add" item under the "Gadgets" menu has been renamed to "Edit". When it is checked you can edit the gadgets as normal and when it is not checked the gadgets are added to the window as normal gadgets and you cannot add or edit them. (37.204) 07-Nov-1992 MIN Fixed a small bug in the menu editor concerning the CommKey's. (37.205) 09-Nov-1992 MIN The drag-menu-selection screwed up sometimes by not interpreting menu events because the handler was not always correctly notified about drag- selection breaks. (37.206) 12-Nov-1992 NF GadToolsBox now uses a new set of preferences files. Also the changing of the preferences now occurs in different requesters. (37.207) 14-Nov-1992 NF-SA Added the posibility to transform MX gadgets into CYCLE gadgets and vice versa. Suggested by Reza Elghazi. (37.208) 14-Nov-1992 MAJ Fixed an enforcer hit in the new menu editor. The copying of the work menu list did not work 100%. (37.209) 16-Nov-1992 NF Added the possibility to seperatly Save and Load all gadgets or the selected gadget from a window using an IFF file structure. (37.210) 18-Nov-1992 NF_SA Added the possibility to determine the order of TAB and SHIFT-TAB cycling for STRING and INTEGER gadgets. Suggested by Garry Glendown and Gael Marziou. (37.211) 21-Nov-1992 CH Almost did not survive a mega HD crash (forgot to backup my harddrive... AGAIN #$@$##@$!). Changed the main program menus. (37.212) 22-Nov-1992 MAJ Fixed a few bugs in the source generators. The IntuiText counters with multiple window projects was screwed up in the C and Asm source generators. The <xxx>Left and <xxx>Top globals where incorrect in the Asm and Oberon source generators. Bugs found by Lars Hecking. (37.213) 22-Nov-1992 MAJ The assembly source generator really screwed up when more than one GETFILE gadget was located in a window. (37.214) 27-Nov-1992 NF Added the possibility to seperatly Save and Load windows using a complex multi-context IFF file structure. (37.215) 27-Nov-1992 CH The window selection requester will not pop-up anymore when only one window is available. (37.216) 03-Dec-1992 CH-NF Changed the binary output of GadToolsBox to a complex multi-context IFF format. The gadtoolsbox library will include a routine to read this format. Note that a old file type loader is still available under the F7 key. (37.217) 07-Dec-1992 CH Utilized the gadtoolsbox.library a little more. (37.218) 07-Dec-1992 CH Added a backfill pattern the same as most reqtools requesters have to my own requesters. This really makes it look great. (37.219) 08-Dec-1992 MAJ Removed a potentially very dangerous bug. The Process structure it's window pointer did not get updated when the window was re-opened after editing the window flags. Experienced crashes instead of an expected reqtools requester........ (37.220) 09-Dec-1992 MIN The Menu Editor now does not use case sensitive checks anymore to check for double defined shortcuts. Now the grid is used when sizing/ moving gadgets. Bugs found by Marcel Offermans. (37.221) 09-Dec-1992 MIN Fixed a small error in the Menu Editor. The MutEx button can now only be selected when more then one (sub)item is present in the list to exclude. (37.222) 12-Dec-1992 CH-SA Changed the spacing maximum to 100. 40 wasn't enough. Suggested by Mikael Berglund. (37.223) 13-Dec-1992 NF-SA Now you can spread one single gadget which will result the gadget being centered between the given coordinates. Suggested by Marcel Offermans. (37.224) 18-Dec-1992 MIN GadToolsBox would allow you to try to link a read only listview to a string gadget. Also in the listview editor the GTLV_ShowSelected tag could be turned off when editing a joined listview gadget. Both of these things where wrong and are now fixed. (37.225) 21-Dec-1992 MIN Fixed a bug in the Cycle, Mx and ListView editors. The ListView gadgets in these editors disabled when run under OS 3.0. (37.226) 22-Dec-1992 MAJ Fixed (hopefully) a bug which caused GTB to hang after editing a string gadget. Bug found by Ekkehard Goebel.

(37.229) 23-Dec-1992 CH GadToolsBox now uses the GUI file loader routine from the gadtoolsbox.library. (37.230) 24-Dec-1992 CH Moved some more memory relative routines to the library as GadToolsBox private routines. This way I do not get double coded routines which could cause compatibilty problems in the future. Also GTB now requires the V38 version of the library. (37.231) 24-Dec-1992 CH The GadToolsBox requesters used to fill out the bevelbox areas with color 0. Now the BACKFILLPEN is used to keep it the same as the reqtools requesters. (37.232) 25-Dec-1992 CH MERRY X'MAS. It's late or should I say early..... Anyway I have adapted GTB so that it uses the 3.0 newlook menus when run on 3.0 systems. (37.233) 25-Dec-1992 MAJ GadToolsBox GURU'd when the gadtoolsbox.library could not be opened. (37.234) 26-Dec-1992 NF Added the three new dri pens that Kickstart 3.0 offers to the DriPen Editor. Note that these pens can only be changed when running 3.0!

(37.236) 29-Dec-1992 NF GadToolsBox is now, for the biggest part anyway, localized. (37.237) 31-Dec-1992 MAJ Fixed a big ugly enforcer hit. Enforcer hits where all over the place when gadtoolsbox was run with an argument. (37.238) 01-Jan-1993 NF Now GadToolsBox is completely localized. I have written a special source generator that generates a localized GUI and uses the gadtoolsbox.library routines. Perhaps I will release this source generator as an example how to built your own source generator using the library. (37.239) 08-Jan-1993 CH Fixed few faults in the GUI design of GadToolsBox (37.240) 12-Jan-1993 MAJ Fixed a major bug. Some palette files which, I suspect, are made by an early 2.1 palette prefs editor have an unusually big CMAP chunk which contains, again I suspect, garbage. Reading these palette files would cause a system crash uppon starting GadToolsBox and after loading files with a PUBLIC or WBENCH screen gui. This has been fixed. Bug found by Andreas Blohm and Steve Robbins. (37.241) 12-Jan-1993 MIN Fixed a small bug in the MenuEditor. Now you cannot add a CommKey to an item with subitems anymore. Bug found by Marcel Offermans. (37.242) 16-Jan-1993 MIN GadToolsBox forgot to also create the ENV:GadToolsBox/ directory when it had to create the ENVARC:GadToolsBox/ directory. Bug found by Kai Bolay. (37.243) 16-Jan-1993 NF-SA Removed the topaz 8 dependancy when designing font adaptable GUI's.

(37.247) 20-Jan-1993 NF-SA Now there is no respons by the program anymore if you double click on a size-box of a selected gadget with the exception of the MX, CHECKBOX and GETFILE kinds. Suggested by Marcel Offermans. (37.248) 20-Jan-1993 MIN The coordinate-check for the gadget selection totally screwed up on GIMMEZEROZERO windows. P.S. The coordinate display is still incorrect on GZZ windows. (37.249) 20-Jan-1993 MAJ Fixed enforcer hits when using the GETFILE gadget in the Main Preferences window.

(37.253) 25-Jan-1993 MIN The vertical spreading of a single gadget to center it in a specific area really screwed up. This is now fixed. (37.254) 29-Jan-1993 MIN Fixed to small bugs in the menu editor. It was possible to edit a source label for an item with subitems now it isn't anymore. You could not erase the COMMKEY. Now you can.

Phew... (37.263) 22-Feb-1993 NF-SA When changing font the windows will automatically adapt to the new font. The suggestion was to make this optional. It is not. Suggested by Kai Bolay. (37.264) 23-Feb-1993 NF-SA I have build on the above suggestion a little more. The window will always adapt to the window title size. This means that if you edit on a custom screen in topaz 8 and you switch to editing on the wbench or default public screen the gadgets, boxes and texts will automatically adjust the positions to the font that is active on that screen. (37.265) 24-Feb-1993 MAJ Forgot to set the process window pointer when reopening the edit window after a window flags edit. Oops. Bug found by Marcel Offermans. (37.266) 24-Feb-1993 MAJ Loading gadget files on a window using a bigger font than used to make the gadgets could result in a message saying that the gadgets could not be re-created anymore.
