Microsoft Visual J++ 6.0 Programmer's Guide [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION Getting Started with Visual J++ 6.0 Microsoft Visual J++ is an integrated Windows-hosted development tool for Java programming. Visual J++ allows you to create, raodify, build, run, debug, and package an application, all within a single environment. Visual J++ 6.0 introduces the Windows Foundation Classes for Java (WFC). This new application framework accesses the Microsoft Windows API, enabling you to write full-featured Windows applications with the Java programming language. WFC alsó wraps the Dynamic HTML object model implemented in Internet Explorer 4.0, which allows you to dynamically manipulate HTML on both the client and the server. Creating a WFC Application When you create a Windows application with WFC, your project contains a form that is the main window of the application. You can then add WFC controls to the form to design the graphical user interface. For a step-by-step example that shows how to create, build, and run a simple WFC application, see "Creating a Windows Application with WFC," in Chapter 1, "Creating Projects." For information about other types of Visual J++ projects, see Chapter 1, "Creating Projects." For information about importing a project from Visual J++ 1.1, see "Importing a Visual J++ 1.1 Project," in Chapter 1, "Creating Projects." Modifying Your Application Once you have created an application, you can: • Use the Forms Designer to modify your form. The RAD features of the Forms Designer allow you to quickly drop controls onto your form, configure their properties, and add event handlers. • Use Class Outline and the Text editor to modify your code. Class Outline provides a dynamic view of the contents and structure of your Java classes, and can assist you in adding methods and member variables. The Text editor supports IntelliSense features, such as Statement Completion, to help you write code. • Use the WFC data controls and components to access data from your form. WFC uses ADO to retrieve data and perform simple data binding.
