Re: [foxboro] Exposing Aliases in FoxDraw 9.0

Hi John,

The reason why you only see the alias names in the Foxview display is
because linked library objects or symbols are stored in another graphical
file under /opt/customer/displib. In that graphical file you have to resolve
the alias names to determine the real C:B.P value.
A good help can be using the conversion tool (/usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/fdf_g
and /usr/fox/wp/bin/tools/sm1g) which converts the binary graph files into
textual ones with .g extension.
I admit that reading this format is tough, for that I have created a
graphical interface that separates the structure from the real data by using
a 3-columns table layout.

Onderwerp: [foxboro] Exposing Aliases in FoxDraw 9.0


I'm doing some short-term contract work for a systems integrator whose
customer has displays built in FoxDraw 9 and being displayed in FoxView 9 .
I was brought up in the old days of Display Builder and Display Configurator
on AW/WP 51's when display work was harder but very straightforward.
The customer in question has displays that use linked library objects and
aliases.  While I can see the individual aliases by right clicking in
FoxView, I have yet to figure out how to get d_edit to show me the true
C:B.P's  for these objects instead of just C, B, and P as alias names.  I've
downloaded and read B0193WG, especially Appendix A on d_edit but still
haven't got it figured out.

I've been reading these posts for a long time and this is the first time I
have ever put up one of my own.  As my friend, Tom VandeWater has said,
there is an astounding amount of knowledge among the folks on this list.  I
hope someone can dribble a little of it in my direction.

Thanks!

John W. Smith
