LIBRARY.TBK REVIVED IN CATALOG FORM

For those of you that have used ToolBook forever, you may recall that versions of ToolBook such as 5.0 had a LIBRARY.TBK which contains lots of sample scripts and cool widgets not found elsewhere in the product.

Somewhere along the way, I think starting in version 6, this accessory file stopped shipping with ToolBook.

After several folks asking to see it revived, I decided to go through this Library file and see what could be moved into a Catalog category. You will find the result of that work below as a new category that you can add to your ToolBook 8.x authoring system. Note that most of the stuff in the old Library.tbk was sample code rather that widget objects. I only ported over those which were widgets.

All of these objects work in Native ToolBook only, and will not function in DHTML. Because of this the category will appear EMPTY if your book it currently configured for DHTML.

To use this new category, all you need to do is use the IMPORT button in the Customize Catalog dialog to import this new category into your catalog, and then drag one of the many images out of the category and drop it onto your page. This works for both Assistant and Instructor, although most of the objects in this category will be useful only if you have Instructor.

Below is a screenshot of all of the objects in this category - so that you can get an idea of what each of them do.
