Crossfire Library Paradox for Windows Intra-Application Communication Library (C) Copyright 1993, Black Forest Software Corporation All rights reserved The Crossfire Library is an ObjectPAL compiled library designed to simplify form to form data and message passing in Paradox for Windows applications. The library contains methods for passing data between forms, controlling multiple forms on the desktop, auto-incrementing numbers and more. Crossfire Library ships with a full-blown "real world" sample application called SoftWatch which demonstrates the power and flexibility of the library and contains a wealth of advanced ObjectPAL programming techniques in source form. To get started, if you did not unzip XFIRE.ZIP with the -d option (for creating subdirectories) please erase this version and do this now. Unzipping the files in this fashion will place XFIRE.LDL and the appropriate documentation files (in Windows Write *.WRI format) in the current directory and will also explode SoftWatch in the directory "SWATCH" below the directory where XFIRE.LDL is created. It is highly recommended that you read the documentation first and then explore the sample application to see the benefits that Crossfire provides. The documentation is complete with a full explanation of the Crossfire Library, a tutorial on using libraries in Paradox for Windows applications, a method reference and an introduction to SoftWatch, the example application. Aside from Crossfire's merits, SoftWatch is a multi-form Paradox for Windows application which is provided in uncompiled form for your examination and use. Techniques are provide for using the Crossfire library, using TCursors, centralized menu handling, managing multiple libraries in an application, data entry, action message handling, printing the current record, passing data between forms, controlling form handles, auto-incrementing numbers, and many more advanced ObjectPAL techniques. Crossfire library may be implemented in your applications with a minimum of setup coding and will increase your program's appeal and functionality. Before attempting to use Crossfire, please read WARRANTY.WRI and XFIRE.WRI. If you find Crossfire Library or the sample application to be useful, a registration fee of $25.00 + shipping & handling is requested. Upon registration, you will receive a licensed version of Crossfire with full source code to the Crossfire library, XFIRE.LSL, either via US Mail or via Compuserve, whichever you choose.
