CUSTOM DIALOG TOOLS
Flattener
Flattener is a MacOS X utility program that will convert a Mac resource file (.rsrc) into a flattened file (.qtr) for use on Windows. Simply drag a Mac resource file onto Flattener, and a new file will be created with same filename but a .qtr extension. The .qtr file can then be copied to the Windows platform and used by a VectorScript on Windows. (Resource files may contain strings that can be read by the GetResourceString( ) routine, or icons that are used by the AddLBImage( ) routine for ListBrowser dialog control for example.
Dialog Builder 5
Dialog Builder 5 is a set of VectorScript objects and menu commands for generating modern dialog code. DB5 works inside VectorWorks, using VectorScript objects to represent the dialog window and the controls in it. When the dialog design is complete, the dialog code is generated automatically, using the Export Script menu command, and tested with the Test Script menu command. Please note that Dialog Builder 5 does not work with versions prior to VectorWorks 12.
