Is there any way to do a search & replace (e.g. for a changed subsystem name) in forms/tool dialogs? Yes, that is possible. You simply have to iterate over the content of a container and ask each view for the control properties and change those accordingly.
Below you find a simple module which performs this task. A source string is replaced by a new string in the link, label, guard and notifier fields.

The Opal Library is a part of Pow. Pow is an free Oberon-2 compiler with integrated programming environment. You can download Pow including source code from http://www.fim.uni-linz.ac.at/pow/pow.htm.
I translated the Opal Library to Component Pascal for BlackBox and Juan Antonio Ortega gets the whole subsystem running. The modules String, Float and Utils runs inside the Blackbox environment. All other modules runs as stand alone applications only. We recommend to link the programs into a separate exe file to execute them.

Output is a simple set of commands for controlling a window called Output, along with a few other miscellaneous commands that I find useful for programme output. Output acts like a second log window, and can be written to using the exported variable outputFmtr-, which is of type LibFmtrs.Fmtr from Robert Campbell's Lib Subsystem. The Output window can be set to open automatically when BlackBox starts.
There is a set of exported parameters (variable prms) that can be altered using the dialog box. Some of these parameters alter things that happen in the Output window (e.g. if the BOOLEAN prms.cmntBold is enabled, then text written with OutputCmds.OWrtCmnt will be in bold), others provide useful facilities that may or may not involve the Output windows (e.g. if the BOOLEAN prms.beep is enabled then the line OutputCmds.Beep will cause the system beep to sound, and if prms.beep is disabled then obviously nothing happens), and others provide facilities that involve the Log window (e.g. if prms.timer is enabled then OutputCmds.StartTimer will initialize the timer with LibTimer.Reset and OutputCmds.EndTimer will finish it and write the elapsed time to the log).
I use two types of text when writing to the Output window: 'text' for the majority of the output, and 'comment' text for headings. Use of prms.comment enables one to determine whether headings are used or not (try using OutputDemo.Demo1 with and without prms.comment enabled).
Output uses the services provided by Ctls and Lib .

These files are the source code for the programs of the chapters of the book "Computing Fundamentals: The Theory and Practice of Software Design with BlackBox Component Builder", published by Vieweg Verlag, 2002. They can be decoded and used with the Oberon microsystems BlackBox Component Builder.
The software is encoded in standard BlackBox ascii format. You will need to install BlackBox on your system to decode the software. See the first few chapters of "Computing Fundamentals" for a guide to using the source code.
Addendum 2014: The book Computing Fundamentals has been out of print for some time. As the rights have reverted to me, I decided to place the complete text in the public domain with the hope that the BlackBox community will find it of some value. I welcome you comments.

Prettify provides 3 pretty printer (PP) tools for formatting correct Component Pascal programs:
The Prettify commands accept a pre-comment, which precedes the start of a module. Post text, which follows a Component Pascal module, is also accepted. Post text is converted into a comment by enclosing it with open and close comment delimiters.
When formatting, Prettify commands unfortunately remove hyperlinks, commander tool buttons, etc. present in the input.
Colorization is deliberately exaggerated to show program structure: reserved words and punctuation, etc. The main function of the pretty-printers are to insert line breaks and perform indentation of program structures. It is recommended, as a final step, to run Cpc -> "Beautify" on the output of Prettify commands.
The tools use modified Coco scanners. Extended Latin-1 characters are allowed in identifiers. Additionally, Unicode is allowed in strings and comments. Comments can contain horizontal tab (9X), cr (0DX) and para (0EX) characters. Strings can contain horizontal tab characters.
The behavior of the pretty-printers are controlled by the embedded semantic actions in the respective Coco (ATG) grammars. If changes to formatting are desired, this is the only portion of a grammar that should be modified.
Prettify uses the services provided by Coco.

Tools for visualizing probabilities are based on a betting scenario where the assessor should determine whether they would prefer to bet on the event in question or on the shaded section of the wheel, bar or sample. The shaded section should be adjusted until the assessor is indifferent to the two bets (that is, the event has the same probability of occuring as the shaded section).
The wheel, bar and sample can be manipulated via the mouse and the keyboard. Clicking and dragging the mouse across the tools will increase or decrease the shaded section, as will the arrows on the keyboard. To display the probabilities double click the tool.
Probability doesn't use any other CPC services. I recomment to use Probability together with Elicitor and Logit.

I have always wanted a graphics editor with BlackBox and never had the time to work on one. I developed a module named ShapesDraw, however, that could serve to render primitive shapes for the editor.
It exports the following procedures:
I think the arrow routines are particularly nice, as you can specify the exact shape of the arrowheads. You can even put them on either or both ends of a Bezier curve. Integer arithmetic is used for efficiency, and angles are specified to a precision of 1/64 of one degree. The module is well-documented. It has a suite of test programs including some with animation. The BlackBox system is particularly nice, as you get resolution-independent rendering for hardcopy output. Anyone is welcome to use the module as one of the building blocks of a BlackBox editor.

SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, transactional SQL database engine. Unlike most other databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files.
SQLite is an embedded relational database engine. SQLite understands most of the standard SQL-92 language. But it does omit some features while at the same time adding a few features of its own.

This Navigator tool was conceived as a simple tool for easing the editing of large module texts by providing a fast way to locate procedure definitions. On activation of the Navigator from the BlackBox text editor, a dialog box appears listing the procedures defined in the module. Once a procedure is selected from the list, the text scrolls to the selected procedure and the signature is selected. For large modules this process is usually significantly faster than using the usual caret movement or search facilities provided by the editor.
Even though the list of procedures presented by the Navigator is much shorter than the module text, it can be quite long too. It is useful to be able to shorten the list by filtering from it procedures that aren't of interest. The Navigator supports several predefined types of filters and a search box that supports * as a wild-card.

Welcome to 3D Programming using the 3DSTATE Engine in Component Pascal. Whether you are an experienced game designer or looking to produce your first 3D game, this subsystem is for you. In a very short time, you will be using the 3DSTATE Engine to create rich and exciting 3D games with beautiful graphics and state-of-the-art performance. While mastering a 3D graphics API can take years, the 3DSTATE Engine will have you writing games within weeks. Combined with the power of Component Pascal and the Blackbox, programming high-end 3D applications and games becomes easy.
Please note also, that the subsystem State is a substitute for the Morfit subsystem, which gives access to the Morfit engine version 3.0. The Morfit engine was renamed in Version 4 to 3DState, and the current State subsystem gives access to the 3DState engine version 6.0.
Since these are only the interface modules, nothing will work without first downloading and installing the 3DState engine. For further information see Quick-Start of State and look at http://www.3dstate.com/'.
