Project Notes
Project: dbSwing: JdbNavTree and JdbEditorPane Sample
Author: JBuilder Team
Company: borland.com
Description:
This sample shows how to build a simple help viewer for a JBuilder application. The
help dialog displays an outline of help topics in a JdbNavTree. When a topic is
selected, it is displayed in a JdbEditorPane.
What this sample demonstrates:
Loading and using a data-aware dbSwing tree component
Using a JdbEditorPane to display HTML pages
We have used the documentation that would usually be here as the content of the help
system that this application demonstrates. Please run the application to read
how it does what it does.
Setup:
This sample expects JBuilder to be installed in a directory called JBuilder3 at the
root of any drive. If you have installed to another directory, the application will
run if you change the variable named "path" in HtmlViewerHelpDialog.java appropriately.
However, hyperlinks in its HTML pages will not work because their expected path is
hard-coded in them. The application is useable without links because you can reach
any HTML page by selecting it from the tree. The HTML pages are in
samples/dbSwing/HtmlViewer/data.
