Proper ReAction coding

mritter0 · 21 April 2014, 20:49

I have been looking at OS3.9/OS4 ReAction source code from several different programmers to get a base idea for my code. I came across this blog post:

http://www.os4coding.net/blog/trixie...on-programming

I agree with not using the macros as things could/will change down the road.

Code:

WindowBase = IIntuition->OpenClass("window.class", 52, &WindowClass);

I haven't come across any source that uses the above code. Seems like every program "is doing it wrong."

Does anyone know of an example source code that does it "the correct way" in all aspects? Proper way to:

Open libraries
Open classes
Layout gadgets
Listen for messages
Close everything it opened
Exit

The example could be just 1 or 2 gadgets, BUT NO MACROS, NO SHORTCUTS, for any of the steps.

I know everyone has their own style, but maybe a modern baseline should be laid out so things are done the current and proper way OS4 expects things to be done.

Perhaps this can be of some use to you?

I started a project with the above example as a base. I am on OS3.9 and get 'undefined identifier "IIntuition"' error message. I can't find where IIntuition is defined in the includes. I assume it is not in my V39 intuition/intuition.h and is only for OS4?

@Thomas: I compiled all of your ReAction examples and they ran. You don't use it at all. Is there a work-around that is still "proper"?

I think IIntuition is only for AOS4 and so...
