Free Stuff

NOTE: PROVIDED AS IS. ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT PROVIDED.

Most of this stuff is a couple of years old, and not really how I would write it today if I were to start over, but we hope it will be of help to someone.

ROT13 in Clarion for Windows

 ROT13 is the shifting of letters 13 characters over so that it becomes unreadable. It is used in many Newsgroup Readers and E-mail  programs. Here is some CW source that will apply the ROT13 scheme to text.

J&S Free Functions v1.1

Updated 12-5-1997
 Four handy functions that you can use in your Clarion applications:

Validate a credit card number
Return the day of the week
Convert Arabic to Roman Numerals

New in 1.1Easily position your popup windows wherever you want  them.
Now, (Such a Deal!) comes with a help file.

Sure, everyone has seen code for this kind of stuff (with exception of the Roman Numeral conversion, perhaps), but here is the code in 3 nice little  functions, so you may re-use the code over and over. This template will get updated periodically, as new cool functions are needed/written, so keep your eyes peeled.

Download the template  (Approx 44k) (Install file was created with the LSP SFX Builder)
 

Picture Dialog

My 2nd OOP experience. Definately not how I would do it today, but kind of cool anyway. This picture dialog kind of mimics the one like the CW IDE (from v2.003). Download the Picture Dialog

“Windows Styled” listbox marking

An example of how windows styled listbox marking might be done. Download WinMark.zip

“NextTab” class

Code for automatically switching tabs on a property sheet when the last field on a tab is hit. Download NextTab2.zip

Numbers to Words

This ain’t your mother’s Numbers2Words function. It goes up to the quintillions. Download it here.

Bitlist Class

This class/template gives you a listbox with checkboxes that represent the bits of an integer. It is part of the Clarion Magazine Open Source Project (DOSPL).

Thread Manager

This is a very cool new thread manager class/template. Like the Bitlist Class, it is also part of the Clarion Magazine Open Source Project (DOSPL)

Real Parent/Child Listboxes for ABC

Currently in ABC, there is no built-in way to relate a particular "Parent" browse with its "Child" browse(s). When a parent browse is scrolled, the child browse does change the displayed records, but instead of resetting selector bar to the top, it tries to find the "closest" to the previously selected record. This behavior often might be desirable in some cases, but when it is a child browse, it should be re-set (in my opinion).
Also, the child browse(s) should not allow records to be inserted unless there is a  corresponding parent record.
Although it is patchwork, this file is designed to help in these situations. Download the C5 version or the C5.5 version.

Icons Used

Examines the .lnk files in a folder and reports on what icons are linked into your Clarion applications. Tells you which app an icon is used. Makes use of the Redirection Class from a Clarion Magazine Article to find the full path of the location of the icon. Download

TPS Table Remover

A commandline program for the quick and easy removal of TPS tables from a TPS superfile.

When in the middle of development, sometimes it is a PITA to have to fire up Topcopy and navigate through the menus in order to kill a TPS table.
