Introduction

This tutorial is organized into three steps, as follows:

Step 1: Reading a Panel Containing Prototype Instances

Step 2: Retrieving and Modifying the Prototype Instances

Step 3: Creating a Group Mediator to Handle User Feedback

To start the tutorial, copy the files located in $ILVHOME/doc/tutorials/protos/tutorial2 into a directory where you have write permission. These files form the basic template from which you can proceed through this tutorial. For each step X, you will find files in the stepX directory that correspond to this step and build instructions that depend on your environment.

First, start Rogue Wave Views Studio with the Prototypes extension and open the file myPanel.ilv to examine its contents: it holds a prototype instance similar to the one built in the first tutorial (see Creating Prototypes in Rogue Wave Views Studio). The prototype for this instance is held in the myLib.ipl file, which opens automatically when you open the file.
