Ed/Paul, If one is developing Python/Dabo applications, how do you program for OS specific issues like:
- screen size and color resolution - desktop space available for application (single/multi-monitor setups) - system metrics (default colors, sounds, fonts, etc) - interface to clipboard - printer properties and control - available memory and ability to control max memory usage like sys(3050) - pointing device properties and events (mouse wheel events) - common dialogs (file, folder, color, font, messagebox, etc) - path related information - OS event binding - timer events, system date/time values - keyboard events - access to environment variables (SET <var>=<value>) - network card mac address - guid generation - name and path of running executable (and is it already running) - list of drives and drive properties (size, free space) - access to command line parameters - font discovery - number and type of CPUs - OS version info - starting, enumerating/monitoring, and stopping other processes/tasks - returning application exit codes - currently logged in user - system power status (battery info, etc) - pipes, shared memory, mutexes - audio, video output - scanner based input Thanks!
