Graphical Toolbox examples
We have provided examples to show you how to implement the tools
within Graphical Toolbox for your own UI programs.
- Construct and display a panel: Shows
you how to construct a simple panel. The example then shows you how
to build a small Java application that displays the panel. When the
user enters data in the text field and clicks on the Close button,
the application will echo the data to the Java console. This
example illustrates the basic features and operation of the
Graphical Toolbox environment as a whole.
- Create and display a panel:
Shows you how to create and display a panel when the panel and
properties file are in the same directory.
- Construct a fully-functional
dialog: Once the DataBeans that supply data to the panel have
been implemented and the attributes have been identified in the
PDML this example shows you how to construct a fully-functioning
dialog
- Size a panel using the dynamic
panel manager: The dynamic panel manager dynamically sizes the
panel at runtime.
- Editable combobox: Shows you a data
bean coding example for an editable combobox.
