The files UIASM.ASM, GENERAL.BAS, MENU.BAS, MOUSE.BAS,
and WINDOW.BAS require code modifications to work properly under OS/2. These
modifications are necessary to transform the program from MS-DOS interrupt
services to the OS/2 API services for each specific function.
Microsoft Technical Support has provided a second set of sample UI Toolbox
files for use under OS/2 protected mode. All the UI Toolbox files have been
replaced by a modified version, which includes all Basic source code, the
assembler code, and all include files. This information is provided as is with
no guarantees regarding performance. You may freely modify the code.
When you decompress UIDEMOS2, you will receive the following files:
GENERAL.BAS GENERAL.BI MENU.BAS MENU.BI MOUSE.BAS<BR/>
MOUSE.BI WINDOW.BAS WINDOW.BI UIDEMO.BAS UIASM.BAS<BR/>
READ.ME UIDEMO.MAK DOSBEEP.BAS
READ.me is a copy of this article.
UIASM.asm has been
replaced by a Basic version that calls OS/2 VIO API routines called UIASM.BAS.
UIDEMO.mak is a Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) MAKE file that can be
used to rebuild an executable UIDEMO program.
DOSBEEP.bas contains a
BSOUND routine to replace calls to SOUND, which is not supported under OS/2.
NOTE: GENERAL.bas for OS/2 was modified 7/29/91, so if you obtained
UIDEMOS2 from the Software Library earlier than 7/29/91, you should download
the latest copy of UIDEMOS2. The modification corrected a problem where
keyboard input would be disabled during the execution of a SHELL statement.
List of Modifications: MS-DOS to OS/2
In adapting the UI Toolbox code from MS-DOS to OS/2, the main
areas that have changed are at low levels, normally where the routines make
specific calls to PEEK, INTERRUPT, GetCopyBox, PutCopyBox, and AttrBox
routines, or calls to statements that are not supported under OS/2, such as the
SOUND statement.
All references to the SOUND statement have been
replaced by calls to a BSOUND routine, which is located in DOSBEEP.BAS. The
SOUND statement is not supported under OS/2; instead, you should use the OS/2
DOSSOUND function or the Basic BEEP statement.
The assembler code
located in the original UIASM.ASM has been replaced with Basic code making
calls to the OS/2 VIO API routines.
All references to CALL INTERRUPT
have been replaced by calls to the appropriate OS/2 API calls. The MS-DOS
INTERRUPT calls for the mouse support now use the OS/2 MOU API. PEEKing in
MS-DOS to get the keyboard SHIFT state "GetSHIFTState" has been replaced by
OS/2 KBD API calls.
Various other locations have been modified at
high levels in the UI Toolbox code to correct performance that would match the
MS-DOS version of the UI Toolbox.
Most modified areas have been
marked with '| comments in the provided source code files.
