BIGCPP
DESCRIPTION:
The BIGCPP Sample illustrates two concepts. The first is the
ability to combine two graphic objects into a single aggregate
graphic object. The second demonstrates using your native
operating system graphic functions to create a library graphic
object. This new library graphic object can now use any of the
library graphic functions such as transformation and hit testing
functions. Classes used include IGraphicContext, IGList,
IGraphicBundle, ITransformMatrix, IPointArray, IDrawingCanvas,
IGraphic, IGPolyline, IResizeHandler, and your native operating
system graphic functions.
CONCEPT/FEATURE:
Sample program for demonstrating BIGCPP
PROJECT LOCATION:
Inside the IOC Samples folder (which is inside the VisualAge C++
Samples folder).
SOURCE FILE LOCATION:
X:\ibmcpp\samples\ioc\bigcpp
where X: is the drive on which you installed the samples and
document component of VisualAge C++.
HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE:
FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
To run the prebuilt project, open the Samples folder on your
OS/2 desktop then double-click on the project's icon to open
the project view of the sample. Click on the RUN button of
the project's toolbar.
FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
Simply type the name of the .EXE file, that is:
BIGCPP
If the sample fails to execute or ends abnormally, you can
get more information about the failure by turning on the
ICLUI trace. This is done by setting the environment
variable ICLUI_TRACE as follows:
set ICLUI_TRACE=ON
set ICLUI_TRACETO=STDERR
The second export controls where the trace information is
reported. With tracing turned on, ICLUI exception text will
be written to a standard error file. For example:
hello1 >hello1.out 2>&1
The exception data is now in the file hello1.out.
HOW TO BUILD THE SAMPLE PROJECT YOURSELF:
FROM WITHIN THE WORKFRAME ENVIRONMENT:
Open the Samples folder on your OS/2 desktop then
double-click on the project's icon to open the project view
of the sample. In the upper half of the project window you
will see the icons of the files associated with the sample.
From the Project pulldown, select Build -> Rebuild All. To run
the sample project, see HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE PROJECT above.
FROM THE COMMAND LINE:
- A command file is provided to allow rebuilding of the
WorkFrame projects from the command line. Simply type:
BUILD
To run the sample project, see HOW TO RUN THE SAMPLE PROJECT
above.
- The sample application can also be built by entering:
NMAKE
with no options while in the directory containing the
sample application files. The makefile is named
Makefile
To clean up the files generated from running make, enter:
NMAKE CLEAN
while in the directory containing the sample program files.
SOFTWARE/HARDWARE PREREQUISITES:
o IBM VisualAge C++
o OS/2 2.1 or Warp
o IBM or compatible 386 and up.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
o For more information on the creation and use of projects in
the WorkFrame environment, see the VisualAge C++ for OS/2
User's Guide.
o For more information on the User Interface Classes, see the
VisualAge C++ for OS/2 Open Class Library User's Guide.
Both books can be found online. To access an online book, simply
open the main VisualAge C++ desktop folder, then open the
Information Folder inside. To view a book, double-click on that
book's icon.
