jsAnimate Design and Description
The following is a brief description of basic overall operation and
design of the jsAnimate dBL class. Don't worry if you don't clearly
understand what is described. Simply read it for purposes of 'awareness'.
Much of the following will become clearer as you become familiar with
using jsAnimate. In reality, jsAnimate is quite simple to use. What
follows is a small attempt to satisfy those who want to know 'just a bit more'.
jsAnimate is a subclass of the stock PaintBox dBL class. It can be placed on
a Form, a SubForm, a Container, or a NoteBook. Simply select the jsAnimate
class on the Component Palette, and drop it anywhere on the Form,
Container, or NoteBook, or instantiate it as you would any other class
within a SubForm.
Because the jsAnimate class is, in the most simple definition, a dBL
'wrapper' for the operating system's animate control window class, the most
authoritative resource for information regarding animate control technology,
operation, and reference can be found at MSDN online under
Individual Control Reference.
Also, be sure to search MSDN for other information and examples of
using the animate control.
But most of all, be sure to read the remaining jsAnimate documentation.
Also review any dBL sample forms which might be included with the jsAnimate package to
become more familiar with how jsAnimate can be used in dBL applications.
