jsRichEdit Installation
jsRichEdit installation is simple.
The current installation set copies 2 dll
files to the system folder, 1 resource dll (containing bitmaps) to the Form
Designer's Component Palette folder, 1 object file to the :Forms: source alias,
1 object file and 2 text files to the :FormControls: source alias, and 14 object files to the
:Nonvisual: source alias. Sample files are installed to the :Examples: source
alias. These are all simple file copy operations. There are
no INI files or registry entries created by the Installer.
In dB2K, before installation, you must create 4 source aliases pointing to any
folders you care to choose. In dBASE PLUS, these source aliases already exist.
-
:Forms: - This is where the jsRichEdit main form files will be installed.
-
:FormControls: - This is where the visual UI classes will be installed.
-
:Nonvisual: - This is where the nonvisual classes will be installed.
-
:Examples: - This is where the sample files will be installed.
After the above source aliases have been created if necessary, do the following
for either dB2K or PLUS:
-
Download and unzip the installation files to any temporary directory.
-
Restart PLUS or dB2K.
-
Set the current working directory to the folder where the files are unzipped.
-
In the Command window: DO jsRichEditInstaller.wfo
The installer form will open as
shown above, displaying a list of the files which will be installed.
Click the Install button and the installation will proceed. If an error is
encountered, installation will stop and an error dialog will be displayed
indicating the path and file that was being installed when the error occurred,
and the error message and error code.
Exit the installer and attempt to correct the problem. Then run
jsRichEditInstaller.wfo again. When the installation sequence completes without
any errors, the installation is complete.
After the installation completes
successfully, it is ok to delete the files which were unzipped to the temporary
folder. However, you should retain the zip file which was downloaded in case
you need to reinstall jsRichEdit. You might also want to retain the file
jsRichEditObjects.lst for possible future reference. This file contains the list
of all files installed by the installer. It is, in fact, the file list/install
script used by the installer.
See the :Examples: source alias for jsRichEdit sample forms which will help you
become familiar with using jsRichEdit.
NOTE: To run the jsRichEditFish.WFM sample form, it will be necessary to copy
the fish table from the :Samples: folder to the :Examples: folder.
