Besides the objects listed above, the generic UI supplies a number of other gadgets. These include
-
Text Display and Edit Objects
The GenText object provides a full-featured word processing object. It can be used for every text function from displaying a word to implementing a simple yet full-featured word processor. It supports multiple styles and paragraph attributes, character and paragraph spacing, and all the other features supported in the Text Library (see Text
.)
-
Triggers
The GenTrigger object implements all the functionality of a simple push-button. When a trigger is pressed, it sends a message to a pre-specified object.
-
Value
The GenValue object allows the user to set a value within a given range.
-
Controllers and Tool Boxes
The GenControl and GenToolControl objects allow an application to set up controllers that provide standard menu entries and their associated features. For example, the GenEditControl object creates the standard Edit menu with Cut, Copy, and Paste triggers. The GenToolControl object allows the user to specify which items in which controllers may be displayed within a floating tool box.
-
File Selector
The GenFileSelector provides all the features of a file selector dialog box that allows the user to traverse their file system's directories and select a file.
