making Calc.yab more useful. - bbjimmy - 07-22-2015

I added keyboard input and saving window location to Calc.yab and now I think it is better than the DeskCalc app included in Haiku.


Code:
#!yab
sleep .01
This_Dir$=attribute get$ "", ""
This_Dir$=This_Dir$+"/"
localize
window open 100,50 to 320,320, "Calc", "CalcView"
if (open(1,"/boot/home/config/settings/Calc.settings")) then
    line input #1 x$
    line input #1 y$
close #1    
WINDOW SET "Calc", "MoveTo", val(x$),val(y$)    
end if

draw set "bgcolor", 100, 150, 220, "Calc"
draw set "lowcolor", 100, 190, 100, "Calc"
draw set "highcolor", 255, 255, 255, "Calc"
window set "Calc", "minimumto", 220, 260
window set "Calc", "maximumto", 220, 260

layout "all", "Calc"

menu "File", "Reset", "R", "Calc"
menu "File", "--", "", "Calc"

RE: making Calc.yab more useful. - lelldorin - 07-24-2015

but do not forget that this is an example. to make learning easly. do no make them to complicated. will be better to add a second calc example like extended calc example

beginners need simple stuff to make first steps and a calculator is a good program for this

I have no intention of ghanging the example, just thought I would share this modification here.
