OR 11.2 | Generating Frames from Predefined Templates

OpenROAD Workbench provides a set of predefined frame templates that let you quickly integrate some of the components commonly featured in many of today's powerful applications. These templates are contained in a set of OpenROAD libraries that may be easily included in your application.

Each predefined frame template has an associated “assistant” that prompts you for information used in customizing the frame. This enables you to create the frame layout dynamically based on your input.

In this chapter, you will learn:

• How to use the predefined frame templates included in Workbench to create frames

• How to customize these generated frames using the assistants associated with the predefined templates

• How end users can use these generated frames

Only the following templates are described in this chapter:

Library	Template
core	The about_box Template The active_display Template The Calculator Template The find_dialog Template The font_dialog Template) The splash_screen Template table_editor The text_editor Template The w7_display Template Note: Creating frames with the dialog_box, empty_frame, and menu templates is described in Generating Frames from Predefined Templates.
