Short: Shows how different Selector9.2 can look Author: selector@boray.every1.net (Anders Persson) Uploader: selector boray every1 net (Anders Persson) Type: pix/illu Architecture: generic -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * Description * PNG Picture from a Selector demo script showing how different the same button panel can look just by changing the settings. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * What is Selector? * Aminet: util/batch/selector92.lha http://listen.to/boray http://user.tninet.se/~hlw771b/amigastuff.html A powerful yet simple script language/launching tool/GUI engine. A good complement to AmigaDos shell and arexx scriptwriting. You can for example make a button panel that follows you from screen to screen. Or why not a handy menu that pops up on any screen (public or not) when pressing both mouse buttons together. On it you can have a button for starting a program - or if it's running already - just jump to that programs screen. This is very comfortable, as you always press the same button to get to that's programs screen, regardless of if it's open or not. Think about that! Regardless of what program's screen you are on, you always do exactly the same thing to go to (or start) a program. No need to go to the workbench. No need to keep in mind what programs that are running... Or you could for example make a special window only available on your word processors screen, with buttons for starting different arexx scripts for that program. Selector is a powerful tool to use within shell scripts or to make a little GUI for your CLI type program. The possible uses of selector is almost unlimited, yet the syntax is very simple. Even with the simple syntax, I've made things even easier for you with useful tools built in to write the scripts for you. For example, just choose "Add button" from the menu (or press A) to add a new button. You can even draw graphics on your selector windows with these built in tools. Or, why not quote the world's biggest amiga magazine: "The program is so easy to use that you can have your first project up and running in under a minute." - AMIGA FORMAT march 1998 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
