Designing Your Applet
The main composer design interface is split into three sections, visual design pad (top), default applet settings grid (lower left), specific applet settings grid (lower right).
The visual design pad gives a rough idea of what your applet will look like and allows for some interactivity depending on the applet component. Many objects such as menu images, sub menus, etc. may be positioned or selected for editing with the mouse.
The default applet settings grid is where general properties such as the background colors, status bar messages, etc. may be set. The default grid may also contain settings which are inherited by the specific grid.
The specific applet settings are used to add text, images, menu items, sub menus, etc. to the applet. Directly below the grid is a set of record navigation buttons for editing, adding, deleting, or inserting defined items in you applet.
Note: Pressing F1 while in a default or specific grid field will activate a help document defining the field settings and usage.
