HOME - WIN32FORTH - MY CURRICULUM VITAE - GUEST BOOK ...........
In my opinion Win32Forth is the most exciting addition to the world of public domain Forths. I immediately fell in love with its "best of two worlds" policy. I've found the combination of Object Oriented Programming and traditional programming to be extremely powerful.
Tom Zimmer and Andrew McKewan has done a very fine job it deserves the very best, I think. This is partly why, I responded to Tom's cry for assistance; "...Now all we need is for someone to implement a graphical interface for the dialog compiler. Any volunteers?" Well, it might not have been as desperate as I would like to think, but I accepted the challenge anyway... This resulted in DiaEdit a graphical dialog editor written in Win32Forth. What's more, this project has had some spin-offs which among things has resulted in several general purpose Win32Forth container classes.
The past year I've been exploring the mysterious worlds of Win32Forth and Windows95. This has resulted in several useful container classes which you are most welcome to take advantage of developing your own applications. The current list of "released" classes is:
You find the source for these classes here (dated June 20, 1999).
This is a complete implementation of Microsoft's MDI. It is easy to use and ready to run. A must for all but trivial Windows95/NT applications! You find the source for this and the other classes here.
This is a full implementation of the standard Microsoft Property Sheet paradigm. It is also easy to use and will come in handy whenever to begin to feel you are struggling with cramming controls tightly together in dialogs. You find the source for this and the other classes here.
A full-implementation of Microsoft's Customizable Toolbars. Simply a must. Windows users has come to expect toolbars in any style, shape, or form. Try it out! You find the source for this and the other classes here.
The implementation of Headers leaves a lot to be desired; though complete, it not at all as useful as I expected... May be you can find use for it? You find the source for this and the other classes here.
This is a very early beta-beta bare-bones test release of a future Treeview class. (TreeViews depicts hierarchical relationships like in the left pane of the Windows Explorer). This preliminary class still leaves much to be desired but can in fact turn out to be a life-saver.
You find the source for this and the other classes here.
DiaEdit is the name of my "Graphical Dialog Editor for Win32Forth" which is a useful tool for anyone writing applications using Win32Forth. DiaEdit will create both source files and a resource file for your application. It will even create Microsoft Visual C++ compatible source if you so desire! DiaEdit is naturally built using the above classes. Please note: DiaEdit is not yet running on WindowsNT.
You find DiaEdit here.
