Workplace Shell Toolkit: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:04, 27 January 2017

The Workplace Shell Toolkit also known as WPS Toolkit or WPSTK, is a set of C libraries that addresses not only WPS programming, but also PM programming. It helps in some more low-level tasks like providing an function to access the DosFind functions much more easier and can help to ease e.g. the settings handling enormously as well.

The following major APIs of the Workplace Shell Toolkit possibly are of particular interest:

Settings and Details Manager
Extended Attributes Manager
Memory Mapped Files Manager
Text Message File (TMF) Support
NLS related functions
Process related functions
PM helper and PM control functions
Bubble Help API

Compiler and editor support

The Workplace Shell Toolkit can be used with and and comes with code and import libraries for the following compilers:

IBM C Set ++ Version 2.1
IBM VisualAge C++ Version 3.x
