Kelk 2000

Kelk 2000 featuers can be used in three diffrent methods. These

methods are:

1 - Standalon Kelk 2000 Application

2 - Inserting Kelk 2000 ActiveX control in other applications
3 - Connecting to Kelk 2000 Web site through Internat

Using Kelk 2000 ActiveX Control in other applications, Provides

ability to insert Calligraphy fonts like Tholuth, Nastaligh, Shekasteh,
Nask and Tahriri along with normal data for application.
Using Kelk Control in other applications
After inserting Kelk ActiveX Control in other applications, all featurs
of kelk are ready to use. You can resize or move Kelk control in host
application. As an example, we describe how to insert Kelk control in
Microsoft Word.

command from <View> menu

2 – From <Control Toolbox> Press » More Controls Button.

3 - Select K2k.K2kPage»Control.
 After inserting Kelk control, it is in Design mode and you can not use it to type
or edit your art work. In desigh mode you you can only resize or move control.

To exit Design mode you have to click on tool on Control toolbox

Eexiting Design mode all of Kelk feature are ready to use and all mouse and
Keboard events will be redirected to Kelk.

 Note that theoretically there is no restriction on number of Kelk

controls that can be inserted in your document.except computer
memory.

There is no difference between Kelk control command and Kelk

standaloan application. Although using Kelk application is in
somehow easier to use bacause it also provides its own menu system
which results faster and easier access to Klek command.
Kelk control has only popup menu system that will be visible by
right clicking mouse on Kelk objects.
 Kelk 2000 Workspace

Ofcourse remeber that based of your Kelk default settings, there may

Kelk toobar commands can be designed as you preferr. Using Kelk default settings

selects commands that can be visible on Toolbar.
By default all Toolbar commands are visible in Kelk.

If you prefer different new documet settings Defaults Dialog is a place
to do it.
On the right hand of Kelk workspace, there is <Kelk Calligraphy
Toolbar>. Tools found in this toolbar are directly related to
Calligraphy.
Appearance of this toolbar Depends on selected baseline font. In next
sections we will discus on usage of there tools.

Kelk workspace has two rulers. One horizontal and one vertical. These
rullers are scaled in milimeters. Moving mouse pointer over Kelk
workspace, two small locators on rulers shows approximate location
of mouse pointer. If you need to know exact location of mouse
pointer, it is printer on lower left corner of status line in milimeters.

Using Defaults Dialog box you can hide/show rulers. However they
are visible by default.
