Read his file and DEMO.TXT for info on getting started with VisuaLIST. As you will undoubtedly gather, this README file and the VisuaLIST Help Facility were built using VisuaLIST. The variations in formats are deliberate, an attempt to show some examples of what can be done. Maybe a bit gaudy at times but, hey, it's all yours now, \"KNOCK YOURSELF OUT\" >|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||< > < > *************************************************************** < > * * < > * VisuaLIST for AutoCAD * < > * * < > *************************************************************** < > < > 1) What is it? < > 2) What's it do? < > 3) What's it used for? < > 4) What's it give me? < > 5) Support? < > 6) Feedback? < > 7) AutoCAD Releases supported? < > 8) How do I register, what's it cost, what do I get? < > < > 1) What is it? < > *** < > VisuaLIST is an invaluable tool to speed up < > AutoLISP and DCL Dialogue Box development. < > VisuaLIST is an Editor/Enhancer for text line < > lists used in DCL's List Box/Popup List and < > AutoLISP/ADS's Alert Box. < > < > 2) What's it do? < > *** < > VisuaLIST creates, edits, formats, embellishes, < > saves, loads, previews and writes code for the < > three different lists types. < > - Create < > Input new text line < > Add new line to end of list < > Insert new line anywhere in list < > - Edit < > Edit contents of existing text line < > Copy existing text line < > Move existing text line up or down < > Delete existing text line < > - Format Groups of Text Lines < > Left, right and center justify < > Lengthen or shorten to specified length < > Control tab spacing < > - Embellishments < > 29 symbols to use as borders, boxes, lines < > - Save < > Save work to file < > - Load < > Load work from file < > - Preview < > What-you-see-is-what-you-get view at any time < > - Write Code < > Automatic generation of DCL and AutoLISP code < > < > 3) What's it used for? < > *** < > VisuaLIST will save time and aggravation < > on everything from the simplest Alert Box: < > < > {!-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-!} < > {! !} < > {! ---> Sorry <--- !} < > {! !} < > {! ---< Please try again. >--- !} < > {! !} < > {!-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-!} < > < > to complex help or information \"billboards\" < > in a List Box. < > < > 4) What's it give me? < > *** < > -hours of tedious coding and formatting avoided < > -\"what-you-see\" in VisuaLIST is \"what-you-get\" in your < > finished product < > -code to use directly in your development project < > -embellishments that are impractical without VisuaLIST < > < > 5) Support? < > *** < > Hopefully, the VisuaLIST Help Facility will < > answer all questions on the functionality side < > of the product.
