Actions Plus Version 1.0

------------------------------------------------
Actions Plus is designed to assist the beginner/intermediate OPAL programmer
in understanding action events. 

As you mature in your development skills you will find the need to monitor
or control action events in your applications.  One use for these events 
would be encountered if you wanted to imitate the "VCR Buttons" on the 
PDOXWIN Speedbar.  The more control you begin to take over your applications
the more frequently you will find yourself needing to understand this area
of Paradox.

This form will allow you to examine the action events that take place behind
the scenes as you move from field to field, master table to child 
multirecord object, use scroll bars, cut and paste, etc.

Try anything you can think of on the form and watch the lower windows to 
examine the different action events, the Group Name(Category) of the 
particular action and the integer value of the event.

Hopefullly, this examination may make these events more clear to the
ObjectPal newcomer.  See your documentation for a thorough discussion of 
events, especially as related to UIObjects.

For your amusement, there is a special bonus included.  For the best effect,
open the form in view mode first and press the "Special Bonus Prize"
button. Also see page two of the form for neat toolbox items for your
applications.

Installation:

  To use Actions Plus:

1) Unpack the archive file in it's own subdirectory. 

2) Start Paradox/Windows.

3) Start Actions+ by opening the form Actnform.fsl

Additional Notes:  The following tables:

			CUSTOMER.DB
			ORDERS.DB
			LINEITEM.DB
			STOCK.DB

ship with Paradox for Windows, and can be found in PDOXWIN\SAMPLE.
The other two tables:
			ACTCONST.DB
			COL_PATT.DB

are actually subsets of the table RTLCONST.DB which can be generated with
the OPal Proc enumRTLConstants.
