Rogue Wave Views Prototypes
Application developers often need to define custom graphic objects to represent domain-specific application objects with which the user is able to interact. The Rogue Wave® Views Prototypes package lets you create such custom, domain-specific graphic objects. These business graphic objects are created interactively using the Prototypes extension for Rogue Wave Views Studio. Prototypes let you build elaborate objects that interact with one another and attach complex behavior to these objects using a scripting language.
In creating a prototype with Rogue Wave Views Studio, you define the domain values and the look of your object, and attach behaviors. You can then create instances of your prototypes and use them in managers or containers just as you would do with basic Rogue Wave Views graphic objects. You can link application objects to their corresponding prototype. The display, synchronization, and user interaction is handled by the Prototypes package. You can edit and modify a prototype at any time: its instances will be automatically updated.
Creating a powerful, direct-manipulation interface for domain-specific objects becomes as easy as creating a forms-based interface for the same objects, but the interface is much more appealing and explicit to the user.
