Hello World Sample 6

Description

While this final version of the Hello World samples is much more complex than hello1, it contains a large amount of common application functionality and demonstrates many of the interactions and class usage required by a real user interface application.

Hello6 adds all of the following: real time date and time fields on the main window; use of a font dialog; a new settings frame containing an INotebook object with two pages of canvases and controls; use of IProfile class for storing the settings; and pop-up menus for making the stars twinkle. Hello6 also replaces the entry field in the dialog window with a drop-down list combination box.

Concept

Sample program with frame window, menu bar from resource, information area, accelerator resources, dialog window, listbox, graphics, split-canvas, help, notebook, profile, and timer.

Task

Select from the menu bar tasks to justify the client area text on the left, center, or right. The information area displays menu item messages. You can change the client area text through the text dialog frame window. You can also change the client area text through the listbox selections. In addition, you can change the font for the client area text. The world is drawn using graphics. You can change the graphics from the settings notebook.
