Classes/Examples

Here you can find some REALbasic stuff I made a long time ago. Open-source and free to use, but no longer maintained.

CFPreferences Class

Version: 1.0.1
2003-06-28

  A wrapper class for storing preferences using the Core Foundation Preference Services.
Requires CFPlugin from Kevin Ballard.
ScrollingCredits Class

Version: 1.0.0
2003-02-16

  A small canvas- and timer-based example of how to let the credits in your about box scroll with fade-in and -out and headlines.
FactoredAuthTest

Version: 1.0.1
2003-06-07

  A sample application for using the Mac OS X Authorization Services in conjunction with REALbasic in order to do privileged operations that require root access.
Requires Monkeybread Software REALbasic Plugin version 3.2 or later.
ImageWellCanvas Class

Version: 1.0.2
2004-08-05

A custom canvas-based control that draws an ImageWell just like REALbasic (using declares), with the little difference that it supports transparent images.
Should work on Mac OS and Mac OS X. Tries to mimick an ImageWell on Windows.

TBFinder

TBFinder is an opensource application that creates REALbasic versions of Mac OS toolbox calls. It searches the "Univeral Headers" for the call you ask for, and translates it into RB syntax. In some cases, it also gives you comments explaining how to use the code.

TBFinder was developed by various members of the RB community (Fabian Lidman, Thomas Tempelman, Will Cosgrove and others). As there currently seems to be no central place of distribution from any of the developers, you can download the original package of the latest version from this website, which includes the compiled Carbon binary along with the source code.
