WHAT .HTA FILES ARE AND HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN .HTA
APPLICATIONS , WHAT SCRIPT LANGUAGE TO USE FOR THEM ...
THE
.HTA FILES ARE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE OPENED BY DEFAULT
WITH MICROSOFT (R) HTML APPLICATION HOST. IF YOU USE A
COMPUTER THAT HAS INSTALLED ON IT THE MICROSOFT WINDOWS
XP PLATFORM THEN ON YOUR ROOT DIRECTORY (USUALLY C:\ BY
DEFAULT) YOU'LL FIND AN APPLICATION NAMED WMPTOUR.HTA
(THE PATH IS :\WINDOWS\Help\Tours\WindowsMediaPlayer\ ).
DOUBLE CLICK ON IT . THAT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE WHAT .HTA
FILES CAN DO .FROM THE SCRIPTS TO USE , JSCRIPT (R) IS
THE ONE I RECOMMEND , BUT YOU COULD ALSO USE THE VISUAL
BASIC (R) SCRIPT TOO. THE SCRIPT CAN BY WRITTEN DIRECTLY
INTO THE APPLICATION FILE , OR YOU COULD CALL IT FROM AN
EXTERIOR (DIFFERENT FILE TYPE : FOR A JAVA SCRIPT USE
THE EXTENSION .JS) FILE
.
WHICH
IS THE BEST SCRIPT FOR WEB PAGES AND WHY ? WHAT DO I
NEED TO KNOW WHEN MAKING PERSONAL SITES OR JUST .HTML
FORMAT PAGES ?
FIRST
YOU WILL NEED AN EDITOR TO CREATE .HTML PAGES. THE MOST
ACCESSIBLE IS THE MICROSOFT DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT (R)
FROM MICROSOFT (FROM THE OFFICE TOOLS) THE MOST USED
SCRIPT FOR WEB PAGES IS JSCRIPT (R). [CRIOS] JScript is
the Microsoft implementation of the ECMA 262 language
specification. It is a full implementation, plus some
enhancements that take advantage of capabilities of
Microsoft Internet Explorer. Script is not a cut-down
version of any other language (it is only distantly and
indirectly related to Java, for example), and it is not
a simplification of anything. It is, however, limited.
You cannot write standalone applications in it, for
example, and it has little capability for reading or
writing files. Moreover, JScript scripts can run only in
the presence of an interpreter, either in a Web server
or a Web browser. JScript is a loosely typed language.
That means you do not have to declare the data types of
variables explicitly. Moreover, in many cases JScript
performs conversions automatically when they are needed.
For instance, if you try to add a number to an item that
consists of text (a string), the number is converted to
text. Like many other programming languages, Microsoft
JScript is written in text format, and is organized into
statements, blocks consisting of related sets of
statements, and comments. [MICROSOFT]
WHAT
ARE ANIMATED GIF`S AND WHAT ARE THEY GOOD AT ? HOW CAN I
CREATE AN ANIMATED GIF ...
ANIMATED GIF`S ARE SEQUENTIAL IMAGES THAT PERFORM A LOOP
(OR NOT) WITH PAUSES BETWEEN FRAMES (SLIDES). ANIMATED
GIF`S ARE MADE WITH SPECIAL TOOLS ( WWW.BLUMENTALS.NET )
AND ARE DIFFERENT FROM THE SIMPLE GIF IMAGES . WITH A
POWERFUL TOOL YOU CAN DO MULTIPLE CHANGES TO AN ANIMATED
GIF . YOU CAN [CRIOS] Optimize animated GIF images so
they take less space and load faster ,Add visual effects
to your GIF animation ,Add text effects to your GIF
animation ,Set transparent color for each frame ,Set
animation's duration ,Set animation's loop count ,Set
position for each image , Reverse GIF animation or a
portion of it , Export GIF animation to AVI format AND
MANY MORE. [EASY GIF ANIMATOR]

DEVELOPMENT ...
I
HAVE EDITED AND COLLECTED SOME IMAGE FILES AND GATHERED
THEM IN A SINGLE PACKAGE (GET IT NOW) TO BE USED AS
WALLPAPERS OR IMAGES IN GAMES. THE CONTENT OF THE ENTIRE
PACKAGE IS FREE AND SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED SO.
WHAT
IS DIRECT X ? WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR MULTIMEDIA
APPLICATIONS ? WHAT IS APIS AND THE ROLE HE PLAYS...
Windows supports DirectX 8.1, which enhances the
multimedia capabilities of your computer. DirectX
provides access to the capabilities of your display and
audio cards, which enables programs to provide realistic
three-dimensional (3-D) graphics and immersive music and
audio effects. DirectX is a set of low-level Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) that provides Windows
programs with high-performance hardware-accelerated
multimedia support.
DirectX enables the program to easily determine the
hardware capabilities of your computer, and then sets
the program parameters to match. This allows multimedia
software programs to run on any Windows-based computer
with DirectX compatible hardware and drivers and ensures
that the multimedia programs take full advantage of
high-performance hardware.
DirectX contains a set of APIs that provide access to
the advanced features of high-performance hardware, such
as 3-D graphics acceleration chips and sound cards.
These APIs control low-level functions, including
two-dimensional (2-D) graphics acceleration; support for
input devices such as joysticks, keyboards, and mice;
and control of sound mixing and sound output.

WHAT
IS RE-MINDER AND WHAT DOES IT DO ? HOW CAN I UPGRADE IT
? CAN IT BE MODIFIED FOR SERVING MY PURPOSES ?...
RE-MINDER IS A PROGRAM CREATED BY CRIOS25 IN 2005. IT IS
VERY EASY TO USE AND HAS AN INTUITIVE INTERFACE THAT
DEMONSTRATES IT. WHAT DOES IT DO? IT IS AN UTILITY
PROGRAM THAT WILL HELP YOU REMIND THINGS (IMPORTANT
THINGS), THAT YOU USUALLY WRITE IN A SMALL NOTEBOOK AT
HOME (OR NOT :) ). IT STORES DOWN THE DATA (ALSO KNOWN
AS MESSAGES) INTO YOUR HDD FOR LATER READING. IT HAS 7
BLANK SPACES IN WHICH YOU CAN WRITE YOUR MESSAGES. I
HOPE THAT IN THE FUTURE (IF I HAVE TIME) TO UPGRADE
RE-MINDER TO 10 SPACES (OR MORE) . THE GOOD THING IF YOU
ARE A PROGRAMMER IS THAT THE APPLICATION IS NOT AN .EXE
FILE ! IT IS A .HTA APPLICATION AND USES THE JAVA
SCRIPT, SO IT CAN BE MODIFIED. FOR THAT YOU MUST OPEN
THE FILE `ENGINE.DLL` (WHERE THE JAVA SCRIPT IS USED)
AND MODIFY IT HOW YOU LIKE. *NOTE - IF YOU MAKE
MODIFICATIONS TO MY PROGRAM (RE-MINDER V.1.0) PLEASE
WRITE AN .TXT FILE WHERE TO SAY THIS. ANY MODIFIED
RELEASE IS NOT SUPPORTED BY CRIOS25! * |
