Perforce JViews Framework Code Example: Marker subclass with selection subclass and object interactor subclass

Description

This sample shows how to subclass IlvMarker in order to associate an object interactor with it to be used when the marker is selected.

How to Use the Code Example

This sample does not run as an applet. See "How to Run the Sample as an Application" for information on how to start the sample.
The application displays a manager view containing some markers.
Click a marker to select it.
With a marker selected, click the selection handle to change the type (and shape) of the marker. Each click advances to the next shape.
The main purpose is to show how to implement an object interactor for a selection object installed on a selected object.

How to Run the Code Example as an Application

This code example can be run as an application. The installation directory contains an executable JAR file, markerinter.jar, that allows you to execute the code example with a double click from a file browser. Note that if you are using Internet Explorer, you can open the installation directory and execute the JAR file from the browser. This technique may not work in other Web browsers.

Alternatively, you can run the code example application from the command line. First check that the Ant utility is properly configured. If not, see the instructions on how to configure Ant for Perforce JViews.

Then, go to the installation directory of the code example and type:

ant run
