Overview
Player Extras (App Info)
The PlayerExtras suite consists primarily of a menu and associated scripts; here are two that are documented as "verbs".Verbs
setBalloonHelp- turn on or off the display of Player's balloon help
help- display the help document for the indicated topic
Tables
suites.PlayerAppInfo- stores all outlines, with a separate table for each application
Notes
- The Player menu provides a simple front-end for the outline verbs, prompting for the name of the application or control panel, and (for dialogs) the names of the menu and item that will lead to the dialog. The outline is written to suites.PlayerAppInfo, in a subtable named for the application. Menu outlines are called simply MenuOutline, dialog outlines have the name of the menu, then ">", then the name of the item.
- Balloon help can be enabled and disabled from the Player menu.
- With the release of Player 1.1, the outline verbs work in Runtime and are documented with the other Query Verbs.
