Menu Framework, V-7.4 ,
. . . . Double-Click + Embedded-Image
. . . . Multiple Floating Page-Windows

MGR [Manager] V: 7.4 ,
Compact Screen Size.
Auxillary pop-up Page-Windows are independent and floating.
Whole Project at : https://github.com/GlenE77is
=============================================
Source OS Distribution Code is "original" and "as delivered" by 01Mico and PeaBee, et al..
MGR versions are Studies in : BASH and GTK application development.
MGR [Manager] is not intended to be a "Turn-Key" application.
MGR system is an Instructional / Educational Project which tests
... "pop-up Page-Windows" methods, including my re-write of GTK Box_Help (embedded in this script)
... "compatability" across 20 Puppy Distros.
... to demonstrate the Double-Click GTK <button> routines.
... to demonstrate the Embedded-Graphics GTK <button> routines.
... to identify implementation characteristics and limitations of BASH + GTK
... MGR is designed to run from "/root/my-applications" , a standard Puppy system directory, No PET.
In MGR-6: We explored a basic single page menu system.
In MGR-7: We explored several methods of "launching"/"closing" the "pop-up Page-Windows"
In MGR-8 : We have explored/contrasted the GTK <notebook> function versus the BASH "Page-Book" method.
========================================
#! MGR software has a four part organization,
. . . in order to isolate BASH from GTK code.. .
# 1 = "Intro" : Setup Var and Constants : BASH
# 2 = "SubRoutines" : BASH
. . . . which execute Tokens from GTK XML dialog <button>
. . . . written in "top" section of the Source Code.
# 3 = "GTK GUI XML"
.. . . . = interface Display and Select <button> : GTK code.
# 4 = Fall-Thru "IF/fi" BASH routines to :
. . . . "capture" GTK <button> Select Tokens via the "EXIT" var
. . . . then "re-direct" to BASH Token SubRoutines, which are written in "top" section of the Source Code.
========================================
Seminal idea for embedding graphics is from "june1 2012 per Don White (don570)" (thanks)
MGR-7 "PageBook" pages are GTK coded, but not using GTK "<notebook>" function.
This is Bare Bones project, so code is simplified wherever possible, easy to trace and read.
Subroutines are grouped in similarly named "function()" blocks.
Process of each GTK gui <Button> <Action> is :
. . . (1) <button><action> "selection"
. . . (2) fall thru to "IF [EXIT=???}" to capture the <action> "token".
. . . (3) jump to Sbr_SubRoutines() to execute the <button> "selection" .
. . .
Just BASH and GTK..,
....... so, Trace the Execution Topically, and Read the Code.
This MGR Script includes DUMPING <button> for :
(1) Dumping Source code , (2) Dumping GUI code , (3) Dumping Image Code
(4) Help (5) PUPSTATE (6) FAQ (7) UP-Legal (8) System-Info (9) Dump_Source_to_Base-64
"Utility" GUI Screen includes a display array of all embedded images
(with tool-tip to show the name of each image)
This MGR-7 script is cleaner, and runs "STABLE" on a daily basis,
. . . . in 20 different Puppy Distros. MGR is used to "flip" between Distros for testing.
The "INTENT" of this "Manager FrameWork" project is:
() ....... to implement a Bare Bones Method of compacted FrameWork Menu application.
()
() ....... V-6: explored a basic single page menu system.
() ....... V-7 demonstrates a BASH "Page-Book" of Independent Floating <message> Pages.
() ....... V-8 demonstrates a GTK "<note-book>" of Independent Floating <NoteBook> Windows.
()
() ....... to demonstrate the Double-Click GTK <button> routines.
() ....... to demonstrate the Embedded-Graphics GTK <button> routines.
()
() ....... to identify implementation characteristics and limitations of BASH + GTK .
() The "Code Format" "organization of execution" is
. . . . . . . an old XML code method from SCO-Unix / Xenix projects.
. . . . . . . which provides separation between strict BASH code and strict GTK code.
. . . . . . . chosen to prohibit interaction between "BASH" code and "GTK" code .
. . . . . . . designed to run from Puppy "/root/my-applications"
. . . . . . . designed to be "self-contained" ( currently, must upload rc.z_CTA.sh if you want "Cold Tar Archive").
. . . . . . . script designed to run from /root/my-applications ...
. . . . . . . . . . . . just drag the main Icon to the desktop, and no PET is required.
