8.9 Better Objects Library
The function Open_WindowInPackages() is added to the Objects library.
The Open_WindowInPackages() function is the same as Open_Window() but takes an extra list that determine the
packages to import before opening the window.
Syntax:
Open_WindowInPackages(cClassName,aPackagesList)
Example:
The next example from the Form Designer source code, Open the Window Flags window using the
open_windowInPackages() function.
We determine the class name “WindowFlagsController” and the packages name.
The Window Flags window uses the FormDesigner and System.GUI packages.
open_windowInPackages(:WindowFlagsController,[
"formdesigner",
"System.GUI"
])
8.10 RingFreeGLUT Extension
Ring 1.5 comes with RingFreeGLUT extension to support the FreeGLUT library
