REFERENCE SECTION

NOTE
Changes are relative to Turbo Vision 1.0 unless otherwise noted.
Turbo Pascal 6.0 includes documentation for Turbo Vision 1.0.

Turbo Vision 2.0 comes with Pascal 7.0 and expands on TV 1.0,
adding additional objects and methods. Most of these objects and
methods are not present in TVGraphic at this time.

TVGraphic
For objects that are analogous to Turbo Vision objects, only
methods that have been modified are listed in this section.
New methods are always listed. Assume unlisted methods are unchanged.
However, where the changes in a View's method
1. are solely to use graphic coords instead of text coords
and/or
2. only involve limiting redrawing area or frequency

then the method is not listed.

Unit Version Numbers:
Each unit exports a version number string constant under
the name of GVersion. This can be checked by using the IDE's
Evaluation window - for example include GObjects in a uses
statement and then evaluate GObjects.GVersion to
get the version of the GObjects unit.
------------------------

Application Palette

See individual objects for TVGraphics palette definitions.
Format
Foreground color = lower 4 bits, background = upper 4 bits.
TVGraphics allows all 16 colors for background.
There is no inherent "blink" in graphics mode.
Indices
TVGraphic windows use TV's "Blue" window portion of the palette
which starts at entry 8.
(default background color is light gray in TVGraphic).
TVGraphic Dialogs use TV's Dialog palette which starts at
entry 32. (TV Dialogs do not use the "Gray" window portion of
the palette despite what TV's documentation says).
(default background color is cyan in TVGraphic).
Views in TVGraphic do not use the sections of the palette
that TV calls "Gray" and "Cyan" windows. The Cyan
section is reserved for future Help windows.

{1 application background}
{2-7 Menus, StatusLine}
{Scrollbars: 11-12 in Blue Window, 35-36 in dialog boxes}
{BlueWindow starts at 8, 8-10 TFrame,11-12 Scrollbar,13-14 scroller,
15 reserved}
{32-40 Dialog uses directly, remaps alot of other palettes mentioned below}
{indices below are for items inserted in a dialog}
{Rule is to take view's local palette number and add 31.}
{32-34 TFrame, 35-36 scrollbar}
{37 static text, 38-40 Label}
{41-46 Buttons}
{47-49 Checkboxes and Radiobuttons}
{50-52 InputLine, 52 foreground is for scroll arrow,
background for rect border around text.}
{50-56 HistoryWindow}
{57-60 TListViewer in Dialog}
{61 InfoPane, FileDialog}

GDrivers
DOS CRITICAL ERROR handler
TV's text mode critical error handler must be replaced by TVGraphic's
* function GSystemError(ErrorCode: Integer; Drive: Byte): Integer; far;
or by one you write.
Note: To avoid needing to allocate memory to save a portion
of the screen, GSystemError assumes that a MenuBar AND a
MessageBar view exist in your application.
You do not need a StatusLine.
DO NOT overlay the critical error handler.
GSystemError's source code is located in the demo program module.

To replace TV's handler, place following line in
your application's .Init
SysErrorFunc := GSystemError;

The following functions are called by the Critical Error handler:
function FarSelectKey : integer;
{returns user keystroke without calling DOS}
function GetCritErrorStr(ErrorCode : integer) : string;
{returns the error message}

Timer Tick Event
* procedure GetBiosTickEvent(var Event : TEvent);
if the DOS timer count differs from count at previous call to
GetBiosTickEvent, then Event returns a TVGraphic event catagory
Event.What := evTimerTick;
Event.Infolong := value return by GetBiosTicks;
otherwise Event.What is set to evNothing;

* function GetBiosTicks : longint;
returns DOS timer count stored at address $40:$6C;

* procedure WriteCStr(AStr : string; TxColor,HighlightColor : word);
Writes AStr as a single line. Text is in TxColor but anything
enclosed with ~'s is written in the highlight color. Can use
multiple pairs of ~'s to get multiple highlighted sections.
Does not draw a background under the text.

* Unit MyGraph3

This unit traps some BGI calls before passing them to the Graph unit.

Fonts
Unit contains the two pixel clippable bit-mapped fonts.
Font8x8 appears the same as the Graph unit Default font.
Font8x14 is the same size as and looks like an EGA text mode font.
These fonts have only one size and can only be horizontal.

NOTE: if you install enough custom fonts, eventually the BGI will
assign font numbers equal to or higher than Font8x8. You will not be
able to access custom font numbers equal to and above Font8x8.
Example: Borland Pascal 7.0 has fonts defined at numbers 0 thru 10
so you will only be able to access three custom fonts.


const {for graphics mode programs}
Charlen = 8; {width of a standard graphic char in pixels}
BoxHeight = 14; {height of the standard text line}

TVGraphic clippable, bit-mapped Fonts
Font8x8 = 14; {8 by 8 pixels}
Font8x14 = 15; {8 by 14 - same size as text on EGA}

BYOff8x8 = 4; {offset down into Boxheight to center text}
BYOff8x14 = 1;
BYOffSmallFont = 0; {for use with BGI SmallFont}

{font dependent offset down into Boxheight to center text}
BYOffset : integer = 0;
The value of BYOffset is set to one of the three BYOFF constants
by SetTextStyle according to the font being selected. It can be
used when spacing lines of text vertically using Boxheight to
properly center the text font vertically within each box.
Add BYOffset to the box's upper edge when using OutTextXY or
MyGraph.MoveTo+OutText.

BXOffset = 4; {offset from left edge of box}

Utility functions
{ ConstStr returns a string with N characters of value C }
function ConstStr(C : Char; N : Integer) : String;

function VertTextOffset(ViewYSize : integer) : integer;
Used by MenuBar,StatusLine,etc. to calc vertical offset to
center a line of text in a view. Pass view's Size.y as ViewYSize.
Font dependent - Must set font Before calling this routine!
Tested with Smallfont,Font8x8,Font8x14 in 10,15,20 pixel high
boxes.
begin
VertTextOffset := (ViewYSize +1 - TextHeight(' ')) div 2 +1;
end;

BGI functions
procedure SetTextStyle(Font, Direction : word; CharSize : word);
For font numbers less than Font8x8
calls the Graph unit SetTextStyle. If that call fails
(font not found), then sustitutes Font8x8.
Sets BYOffset to BYOffSmallFont.
For fonts Font8x8,Font8x14, sets font selection in this unit
to selected font. Sets BYOffset to matching BYOff constant.

Note that you can select the Graph unit DefaultFont (font =0)
but it doesn't clip at pixel level - see BGI/Graph unit doc.

function TextHeight(TextString : string) : word;
returns 8 for Font8x8 and 14 for Font8x14
function TextWidth(TextString : string) : word;
uses character width of 8 for fonts Font8x8 and Font8x14
to calculate width.

The following BGI calls are also intercepted
Bar
Bar3d
OutText
OutTextXY

added Opts parameter to set VOption field.
if Opts = DefaultBehavior then matches TV
if Opts = ReturnOnAnyButton then Dialog will end modal state when
any button command is issued including user defined commands.
see GDialog Unit section for other options

Init sets Frame^.VOptions := tfDrawBackground;
which causes Dialog's Frame to draw a background for the view.

*function Execute : word; virtual; NEW-ADDED

if global MouseSnapToDialogGrid is true then Execute sets the
mouse grid to a Charlen by Boxheight grid before the call to
TGroup.Execute and resets grid to previous values afterwards.
If set, grid is relative to top of DeskTop - Dialog grid assumes
you will insert Dialog into DeskTop.
When inserting a Dialog, easiest way is to use the ofCentered
option in the Dialog.Option field (not VOptions field). This
will center the Dialog and match it to the grid if you dimension
the Dialog vertically using the Boxheight constant and
horizontally using the Charlen constant.

tfDrawBackground is set. Otherwise checks VOption flags
tfVScrollBar and tfHScrollBar and draws background under
the standard scrollbar positions if these flags are set.
Finally calls DrawFrame.
*procedure DrawFrame; virtual;
Draws a background under top bar of window. Draws a rectangle
around the view and an inner rectangle if the view is active.
These border rectangles extend offscreen if the view has an
Interior larger then the screen. (Calls
TGroup.GetFullPanSize to get size for these outline rectangles.)
If the window number is 1 thru 9, draws a Next Window button
with number inside.
Next, if active, checks Flags field and draws usual icons
if flags are set in Flags. Finally draws title, shortening
it if necessary to fit. Windows numbered 1..9 draw a blue
background under the title using the background of
palette entry 6.
*function Exposed : boolean; virtual;

*procedure GetInteriorSize(var R : TRect); virtual;
returns in R the size of the area inside the frame that you
should fill with views. This size reflects whether the VOption
flags tfVScrollBar and tfHScrollBar are set. (They are set
automatically if you add scrollbar(s) using
TWindow.StandardScrollBar).
Note that if you set TFrame's tfDrawBackground in the
VOption field, it will fill this area with the TFrame
background color.
+procedure HandleEvent(var Event: TEvent); virtual;
Handles mouse events. If NextWindow button is pressed,
issues a command event with Event.Command := cmNext to

! constructor Load(var S: TStream);
Calls LowMemory after loading each view and Exits if true.
This prevents TV's runtime halt with out of memory error.
! Warning: when Load exits due to LowMemory=true, the Group is
not complete - inter view pointers are not restored.
If you insert the Group, the computer will probably bomb - totally!
To check for incomplete Load, follow the TV recommended
practice of using TProgram.ValidView on the pointer
returned by S.Get. If LowMemory, ValidView will display
an insufficient memory message, dispose the Group and
return a nil pointer to you.

Load also calls SetClipToMax.

redraws the views from Last to First
calls MCur.LockShow;
*procedure SetClip(R : TRect);
allows you to set the Clip variable which is used in TVGraphic
by TView.Exposed. If a view is outside the Clip rectangle,
Exposed will be false and calls to DrawView (or TGroup.Redraw
which eventually calls DrawView for each view) will not draw.
*procedure SetClipToMax;
Calls GetExtent(R) then R.Move(VOffset.x,VOffset.y) and
finally SetClip(R).
This sets the Clip variable to the full size of the group
while taking into account VOffset. Clip is maintained
in local (group interior) coordinates. See Clip below.
procedure SetState(AState: Word; Enable: Boolean); virtual;
Lock and UnLock are Not called when AState =sfActive,sfDragging:

Clip: TRect; in use in TVGraphic
Maintained in local coordinates, not absolute screen coords!
For a group with an Interior that is shifted by VOffset,
Clip is maintained in the Interior's coordinate system by
shifting its x coords by VOffset.x and shifting its y
coords by VOffset.y. This is handled by SetVOffset.
{If VOffset = (0,0), the group's Interior is unshifted by
definition. Then SetClipToMax will set Clip.A to (0,0) and
Clip.B to (Size.x,Size.y)}

Unit GWindow
TPanWindow is a window with a viewable Interior larger than its
Size. It is designed to pan (shift) its Interior when
the mouse cursor reaches the edges of the screen. The usual
way to use this window is to size it to fill the entire DeskTop
DeskTop^.GetExtent(Bounds)
PanWindow.Init(Bounds,...
and then insert other TViews,TGroups,TSubWindows into the window.
Nesting of TPanWindows is not defined, but you can insert
more than one into the DeskTop. TPanWindow requires a MenuBar
but not a StatusLine.
The selected TPanWindow receives evCommand Events from the invisible
ShiftViewPtr view when ShiftView detects the mouse cursor in the
MenuBar or the StatusLine.
TPanWindow calls ShiftViewPtr^.HandleEvent to update it when
the Interior shifts or the window's State changes.
(The ShiftViewPtr view displays messages about panning
by calling the MessageBar view.)

function CurAtEdge(Event : TEvent; var Delta : TPoint;
AllowMenuAccess : boolean) : boolean; virtual;
Returns true if Event is a screen shifting event as defined
below AND the Interior is able to shift in the indicated
direction, otherwise false.
Handles evMouseMove plus evCommand where commands
are either cmShiftScreenDown or cmShiftScreenUp.
Behavior at top of screen:
>Bug if setting AllowMenuAccess false.
panning is unreliable due to menubar eating
mousemoves that in menu but not at screen top<
If AllowMenuAccess is false or PanWindow is the Modal view, then
will return true when cursor is 20 pixels or less from top
of screen, otherwise will return true only when cursor reaches
top of screen (Y=0).
Behavior at bottom of screen
If PanWindow is the modal view, will
return true when cursor goes below the window bottom
or is greater than or equal to MCur.MaxGridY.
OR If no StatusLine then
returns true if cursor is greater than or equal
to MCur.MaxGridY.
Behavior at sides of screen
Returns true if cursor is greater or equal to
MCur.MaxGridX or less than or equal to MCur.MinGridX.
Function sets Delta with number of pixels to pan by. This will be
either the +-X or +-Y value of ScrnShiftSize. (Unless Interior
is closer than that to its edge. In that case, Delta will be set
with number of pixels to the edge.)

const for TScrollBar
CharHt = 14; not user changable
Scrollbars make alot of calculations based on assumptions
about character size. For these calculations, a scrollbar
thinks in terms of characters that are 8 pixels wide by 14
pixels tall. If your horizontal scrollbar Size is not a
multiple of 8 pixels or vertical bar is not a multiple of
14 pixels, then the indicator will not go all the way to
the right/bottom of the bar.
Things still work however.
You will not normally have to think about this.

TScrollBar = object(TView)
constructor Init(var Bounds: TRect);
If Bounds is wider than it is tall, the scrollbar will be
initialized as a horizontal scrollbar, otherwise as vertical.
The thickness of the scrollbar is set using the constant
ScrollBarWidth independent of Bounds or whether a vertical
or horizontal bar. The actual thickness is ScrollBarWidth
plus one pixels.
The scrollbar moving indicator character has changed.
Refer to TV documentation for the rest.

TShiftView, Unit GWindow
Special view for sensing mouse position at top edge of screen
and within the StatusLine, if one exists.
If cursor enters these areas and the selected window is a
TPanWindow and its interior can shift, then Shiftview uses
the MessageBar to display message about panning to user.
If right button is clicked in these areas, ShiftView issues
commands targeted at TPanWindow. These commands will cause the
TPanWindow's Interior to shift down if cursor is at top of
screen or up if cursor is in StatusLine.
ShiftView uses the MessageBar to display its messages -
so application must initialize the MessageBar.

TgStaticText = object(TView)
+constructor Init(var Bounds : TRect; AText : String; Opts : byte);
OPts: added parameter
(examples: OPts := DefaultOpts;
Opts := txCentered + txDrawBackground)
DefaultOpts - no options
txCentered - if width of AText will fit in the view's Bounds,
centers text horizontally in Bounds and then
shrinks Bounds.A.x,Bounds.B.x to just contain AText.
Works with any font.
txAdjustSize - if width of AText will fit in the view's Bounds
adjusts Bounds.B.x to just contain AText. Works
with any font.
txDrawBackground - for maximum speed and minimum flicker, StaticText
does Not normally draw a background in TVGraphic. This is
almost never a problem with the short strings in Dialogs.
If you use a StaticText view wider than the narrowest
window/dialog you will ever drag across it, then you need
a background for partial screen redraws. Use this flag.

VColor is set to TVColor which causes Draw to use the palette
instead of VColor for color slection. To override, after Init
set VColor to desired color pair (byte). Format is the same as
Application palette entries.
Font selection - if lower 4 bits of Opts are not 0, then VFont
is set to equal to the lower four bits which represent a font
number. If 0, then VFont is set to DefaultDialogFont.
(Note this precludes your using the BGI DefaultFont which does
not clip properly.)
String Formating
If multiple lines, view will draw them spaced Boxheight apart.
AText may have the usual embedded formating characters ^M and ^C.
^C centers following text (up to a ^M) in the view.
^M causes following text to start on a new line.
The automatic line wrapping at the right side of the view and
the ^C centering of text assume the selected text font
is 8 pixels wide/character.

procedure Draw; virtual;
If multiple lines, view will draw them spaced Boxheight apart.
Uses the palette for colors unless VColor is not equal to TVColor.
Then uses the color pair in the lower byte of VColor for
text color and background.
Uses the text font stored in VFont.
Uses BYOffset in vertical positioning of text within the view.

Options are set to include ofPostProcess. Finally a pointer to
the scrollbar is returned as the value of StandardScrollBar.
