ACD/ChemBasic

Version 4.5 to 5.0

• ChemBasic programs can be accessed from the ChemSketch interface, whether you are in Structure or Draw mode.
• The ChemBasic Organizer is a new tool in the ChemSketch interface that helps you keep track of your ChemBasic programs. Depending on how crowded your toolbars get, you may want to set a ChemBasic button to be available in just the Structure toolbar, both the Structure and Drawing toolbars, or only the ChemBasic toolbar.
• Previously, ChemBasic used a series of sequential single-input dialog boxes. Now, with the Forms Manager, you can design input forms for ChemBasic programs that can accept all required data at once. The input dialog is now a breeze. Pop-down menus, default input values, mandatory fields, automated dating: all are easily available through the Data Forms Manager.

To incorporate data from the Forms Manager into your ChemBasic program, here are a few example lines from a program:

Dim Form as object
Dim S as string
...
Form = ReadForm("TestFrame.frm")
...
S = Form.GetStrValue("Formula")
