It also registers an exit handler so that the Wimp ; gets closed down. IMPORT wimp_init ; --- wimp_taskHandle --- ; ; On entry: -- ; ; On exit: R0 == the application's task handle ; ; Use: Returns the application's task handle. IMPORT wimp_taskHandle ; --- wimp_version --- ; ; On entry: -- ; ; On exit: R0 == the WIMP's version number (may not be the one the ; client asked for) ; ; Use: Returns the WindowManager's version number. IMPORT wimp_version ; --- wimp_strWidth --- ; ; On entry: R0 == pointer to a string ; ; On exit: R0 == width of the string in OS units ; ; Use: Returns the width of a string, as it would be displayed in ; an icon (i.e. taking into account things like the current ; desktop font etc.) The width is exact, so if you want to ; e.g. draw a box round it, you'll have to add on a little ; clearance at each end. 8 OS units seems to be a good size ; for the clearance (so the total width you'd use is given by ; wimp_strWidth(string)+16, because it has two ends).
