 Detail grid and Chart with printing,
e-mail and other functions 1. Let’s start by adding a DetailGrid Data object. This brings up its DataWizard, a central part of all JDesignerPro development.
2. As we step through the Grid Data Wizard we choose settings, colors, table-driven pull downs, formats, etc.
3. JDesignerPro builds the grid with the settings, all which can be modified later. Note that with JDesignerPro when you modify or remove a component, JDesignerPro handles all the code changes for you. Tools like JBuilderTM and CaféTM leave the code changes for you to do manually! 4. Now we add 6 buttons. The first three will manage data updates...
...for these we go to the Interaction Manager and simply drop the appropriate methods on the button actions to complete the necessary event with no coding required:
5. The next button is for formatting to MS-Excel and HTML which gives the browser-based user the ability to save and print these Java forms. We drop a non-visual Formatting component on and add its interactions to the button in the Interaction Manager:
6. Now we add e-mail capability right in the form so users can send information easily to to each other. Again, we use the Interaction Manager to apply the methods to the component actions. This e-mail interface can even be merged with a table. For example, the grid contents can be sent by a Sales Manager weekly to a pre-specified table of Sales Executives:
7. Finally let’s add sales and royalty charts. We drop Chart Data objects...
...and define them in the Data Wizard.
8. The final screen includes all the elements and is ready to compile and deploy.
