CHAPTER 4

NewtApp Applications

4-22 Using NewtApp

You should create a text ﬁle, which you save as Install&Remove.f, into which

to copy the functions:

InstallScript := func(partFrame)

begin

partFrame.removeFrame :=

(partFrame.theForm):NewtInstallScript(partFrame.theForm);

end;

RemoveScript := func(partFrame)

begin

(partFrame.removeFrame):NewtRemoveScript(removeFrame);

end;

This ﬁle should be the last one processed when your application is built. (In NTK

this means that it should appear at the bottom of the Project ﬁle list.)

If you have included the stationery ﬁles built in Chapter 5, “Stationery,” you may

now build, download, and run your NewtApp application.

Using Slot Views in Non-NewtApp Applications 4

The NewtApp slot view protos have a lot of functionality built into them which you

may want to use in a non-NewtApp application. You can do this by keeping your

existing application base view, removing the existing entry view layer and its

contents, replacing it with a

newtFalseEntryView proto, and placing the slot

views in the

newtFalseEntryView.

The following requirements must be satisﬁed for slot views to work outside a

NewtApp application:

■ The parent of the newtFalseEntryView must have the following slots:

■

target

■

targetView

■ The slot views must be contained in a newtFalseEntryView proto.

■ The newtFalseEntryView must receive a Retarget message whenever

entries are changed.

Modifying the Base View 4

This discussion assumes that you already have a base view set up as part of your

NTK project and that a

newtFalseEntryView will be added to it later. If that is

the case, you already have slots set with speciﬁcations for a soup name, soup

indices, a soup query, and a soup cursor (among numerous others.)
