Subject: ShowModal XFCN 1.01
ShowModal XFCN is an external function that lets you enhance HyperCard
stacks with customized modal and movable modal dialogs, just like real
Macintosh applications use. It lets you display dialogs with up to 31
interactive items, including a text list or popup menu, text entry boxes,
"static" text prompts, checkboxes, radio buttons, pictures and regular or
icon buttons, in nearly any combination.
ShowModal XFCN has several nice extra features:
* For dialogs with text entry boxes, you can use character filters to
allow only
certain text to be entered
* You can create splash screens that automatically close after a timeout
value
you specify
* You can use the "Special Key" feature to assign a command-key to one
button in any dialog
* You can specify locating the dialog at any location, or automatically
center
dialogs in the screen or in the current card window
* You can cancel a dialog by typing Command-Period or Escape
ShowModal XFCN requires HyperCard 1.2 or higher (this stack requires
HyperCard 2.0 or higher), a Mac Plus or better, and System 6.05 or higher.
ShowModal XFCN is CharityWare (details in the stack).
Version 1.02 adds new functionality over Version 1.01, and also includes
minor bug fixes as well as additions and revisions to the documentation.
