What it does
Visual Balloons is the easiest way to add Balloon Help to your
PowerPlant projects. With Visual Balloons, you simply drag a help
balloon from the PowerPlant Catalog window to any of your PowerPlant
Panes, and Visual Balloons does the rest!
Features
+ Seamless integration with PowerPlant Constructor
+ Easy to use through Drag & Drop
+ No sublcassing required
+ Installs in less than 5 minutes
+ only two additional lines of code to write
+ supports "embedded" strings, styled text, 'STR ' and 'STR#'
resources, and PICTs
System Requirements
Visual Balloons will work on any computer that has System 7 or later
installed. Visual Balloons disables itself automatically when running
on a pre-System 7 computer.
For development, you'll need CodeWarrior and PowerPlant Constructor.
Since the Balloon editors were created as CTYP resources, Constructor
must support those resources (I think CTYPs have been supported since CW
11).
What's new in this release (reverse chronological order) DR 2 + Easier
to use: there are now only two 68K libraries, one for model near and one
for model far + Improved stability: Balloon Toggler no longer crashes
when not attached to an LControl (thnx to Willis Morse, wmorse@aol.com)
