TASPRO.INI Explained |
|
The File that control a lot of the behaviors in TAS Professional is in every system that you will create the file name is TASPRO.INI. This file is a text file that is read when ever you run TASPRO7.EXE (IDE) TASRUNTIME.EXE We will try to explain this very important file and what all the settings are in case you may need to edit this file.
Programmers note: You can also use this file store and information about your application.
Note : Most the options in this file are controlled and edited with the TP7SETUP.EXE or the TP7RTSETUP.EXE If your not used to editing .INI type files we recommend you email product support before making changes to this file.
This Chapter will attempt to document all possible switches and setting for this file. Most of these setting are controlled by several parts of the Professional powered by CAS development system.
This sections is called setup this section of the INI files sets up where your application paths are the default company code you want to start the program with
[Setup]
Caption=your caption here This will change the caption of your runtime on the program bar.
DataDictPath=.\ This is the path to the projects data dictionary we recommend you use .\ here.
DefaultPath=.\ The default path of where all programs are these files have extensions of .run .src .rtm .dfm
DfltCompanyCode=B The default Company code to use.
DfltRunPrg=.\tas_menu This is normally your menu program.
MultiUser=1 0=Off 1=On
MainMenu=0 0=Off 1=On If this is the main menu.
FullSetup=1 0=Off 1=On This used internally by tp7setup.exe
DfltSkin=skins\macos.skn This is a new feature released by CAS with this in your .INI and the proper skins file name and path the user or programmer can change the entire look of there programs for more information search for skins.
| BtrieveDictionary=0 | 0=Off 1=On. In version 7.4 and above the programmer can choose the database dictionaries types to use the standard codebase type files or the optional Pervasive(btrieve) files as the data dictionaries. We recommend that you use Codebase files unless you find a need to limit the use codebase databases. If this line is left out of the taspro.ini file TASPRO will use the default codebase type files. All programs in TASPRO IDE and rutime have been adjusted to use this feature. Also to use this feature you will have to run the wtascnvtbtrv.rwn program to write your codebase dictionaries to btreive. This program will not make any changes to your codebase dictionaries files. |
| TPath= | Use to Define the Path in for the TPath() Function. |
This will allow you to control how the print preview will look to the user.
