Summary:
When using the QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) Graphical Development
Environment version 1.0, you may want to generate code with QuickCase:W
to link in a dialog box that contains an icon. The following describes
the steps required to do this:
1. Create a new icon using the Image Editor.
2. Using the Dialog Editor, create a dialog box that contains the icon:
a. Enter the Dialog Editor.
b. From the File menu, choose New.
c. In the "Dlg. Sym." edit box, enter a symbol name for the dialog
box.
d. Choose the icon symbol from the tool bar (lower-left button),
and place the icon in the dialog box by clicking in the
displayed dialog box.
e. Add a symbol name to the "Icon Sym." edit field. This name must
be the same as the base name of the file to be generated using
QuickCase:W.
f. From the File menu, choose Save As, type a name for the file
(must have a .RES extension), and then choose OK. This will save
the file.
g. Exit the Dialog Editor.
3. Create the prototype file and generate the code using QuickCase:W:
a. Enter QuickCase:W.
b. Click the double-chevron braces (<<>>) in the prototype menu; a
dialog box labeled Insert Menu Item will appear.
c. Type a name in the Name edit field.
d. From the Link To combo box, select Dialog Box.
e. Choose the Configure Link button and type the name of the dialog
box (if this is in a different directory, type the full path or
select the correct path using the Directories list box).
f. Press ENTER to exit this dialog box and register the dialog
name, and then choose OK to exit the Insert Menu Item dialog.
g. From the Design menu, choose Icon, type the name of the icon,
and then press ENTER. This selects the icon as the default
program icon, which will be displayed when the program is
minimized. Please note that QuickCase:W has the capability of
linking in only one icon per application.
h. From the File menu, choose Save As, type a name for the
prototype file (must have a .WIN extension), and press ENTER to
save the file.
i. From the Build menu, choose Generate to build the files that
correspond to the prototype.
j. Exit QuickCase:W.
4. Build and run the program in QC/Win:
a. Invoke QC/Win and choose Open from the Project menu.
b. Load the project file that was generated by QuickCase:W. Press
F5 to compile, link, and execute the program.
c. Click the menu item you generated, and the dialog box containing
the icon will be displayed.
