Changes: _________________________________________________ ( S t a r d u s t M k 2 S o u r c e C o d e ) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Developed by: C. Peel, stan and soAp (c) Copyright 2003 k23 productions. All Rights Reserved. Revision History ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ stardust gui (soAp) alpha 5 alpha 4 (2-Aug-2003) - Started work on a simple toolbar object called - er - CSimpleToolbar. Easier to use than the halon one (and hopefully less buggy). Migrated a bit of the Mk.2 Halon stuff (specifically the window creation api) in for this. (pre alpha 4) - Icon functionality improved. Now have mouse-over caption displays working. - Added desktop.subsystem - this displays the desktop window itself, draws the icons and allows plugins to be added to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- stardust subsystems (stan) alpha 5 alpha 4 - More work on network subsystem. Can now retrieve information from most of the IP_ADAPTER_INFO struct via the CNetItem object. - Tidied up console - generic stuff has been moved to commands local to the console and apps can now process custom commands via a handler (a standard IMsgHandler interface) using messages defined in the new CON_MESSAGES enum in mConsole.bas. - Added new Windows 2000/XP-only network.subsystem. Does nothing at the moment but will manage LAN and DUN connections in a similar manner to the existing Network Kit. - Added console - CHotkeyItem renamed to CHotkey as it'll now be accessible publicly. Toyed with having the hotkey subsystem part of bootstrap instead, but have gone back to keeping it as a separate subsystem for now. - Couldn't quite figure out what I could use the ISubsystem Subscribe() and Unsubscribe() methods for. After a bit of pondering I think these can be used to send out 'hotkey added' and 'hotkey removed' notifications to anything that wants them. - Added new CHotkeyRoster object which takes a snapshot of the current hotkey layout and allow the caller to browse its contents (system window shows an example of this working - see mMain.bas for the code). - Renamed ISubSystem2 to ISubSystem. R4.0 alpha 3 - Fixed bug caused by reverting to old (V5) ListView OCX. R4.0 alpha 2 R4.0 alpha 1 - Timers added. - Task and Tray subsystems added.
