which notifies them that the mouse_enabled bit has changed. Now that
mouse_enabled can be initialized or modified by parameter events in
addition to GUI events, the guis must be prepared for it. I have pasted
empty method definitions into mouse_enabled_changed_specific for all
guis except for X11, which I did the right way. The implementation
of this function must use the argument "val" rather than reading the
parameter.
goes in/out of mouse capture mode. This is critical because
bx_options.Omouse_enabled is used to control whether the mouse
events are sent into the hardware queue or not (keyboard.cc).
This is only a partial fix though, because changing the mouse
enabled setting in the control panel has no effect on the gui.

control panel are all implemented as bx_list_c, and look much like
they did before.
- removed many hardcoded UI functions from control.cc, since the
much more general "text_ask" methods have replaced them.
- add range checking on integer parameter values. This exposed several
cases where my initial value for an integer parameter was not in range.
- cleaned up behavior of get/set methods. The get/set methods allow the
handler to override the value that is returned/set, or perform side
effects.
- the title parameter of a bx_list_c now defaults to the name.
- now bx_param_c fields that used to be private are protected instead
- removed references to bx_any
- moved definition of set_handler from siminterface.h to siminterface.cc.
I was considering with doing a "set" of the old value when the
handler is first installed, but that remains commented out.
- BX_BOOT_DISKA and BX_BOOT_DISKC are now 0,1 so that they can correspond
with the values of a bx_param_enum_c. For a while they were 0x00 and 0x80
corresponding to the numbering convention of the bios, but it didn't
really matter.
been converted into parameters temporarily have the letter "O" appended
to their name. I don't want to keep it this way, but it has helped
in the conversion process because the compiler refuses to compile the
old uses of the name. Before I started using the "O" trick, there were
many bugs like this: if (bx_options.diskc.present) {...}
This was legal with the new parameters, but it was testing whether the
parameter structure had been created, instead of testing the value of
the present parameter. Renaming present to Opresent turns this into
a compile error, which points out the incorrect use of the param.
- the "--disable-control-panel" no longer works, I'm afraid. I can no
longer support this and continue progress.
