=== CBM - a menu system for FutureOS ===The Command Bar Menu ([[Image:CBM.png|384px|thumb|right]] '''CBM''' ("Command Bar Menu") is a part of [[FutureOS|FutureOS]]. It is not completely part of the core ROMs, because it needs a high degree of flexibility to serve very different applications. CBM provides an consistent user-interface for own programsall applications. You can use hierarchical pull-down menues to select files or functions. Windows aren't used, because The interaction by the CPC-screen [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] desktop is little enoughdone by using the OK icon. Since version 1.8 hot keys have been addedThe flexible part of CBM is not provided as well documented Z80 source code that can be used to create new applications for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]]. The other part of CBM is integrated in the core OS itselfROMs of FutureOS. The source code is available and some examples can be downloaded from the official FutureOS-Homepage. Therefore it's possible to adapt / use CBM for any of your self written FutureOS programsapplications.  CBM provides several build in standard functions like load file, save file, change colors, show help and so on. If CBM is used for different applications, then all these apps will have nearly the same appearance. This makes it easy to work with different apps, because the generic appearence is always the same and the basic functions are located at the same positions.  Examples for programs using CBM are the [[FuturePlayer|MP3-Player and ]], the Sprite Konverter Converter [[GMSK |GMSK]], the map and playground editor [[GSED|GSEd]], the sprite manager [[Kane|Kane]], the [[SYMBiFACE II]] [[ROManager]], the [[MegaFlash]] [[MegaFlashROManager]] and some other applications for [[FutureOS|FutureOS]] which use .   == Ports =='''CBM''' was ported to the native CPC-OS for applications like [[MegaFlashROManager]] and the [[SYMBiFACE II]] [[ROManager]]. == Web links == *[http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FutureOS/files/Source_Codes/ http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/FutureOS/files/Source_Codes/] *http://www.FutureOS.de
