[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ VCF Demo's, Suggestions for small demo projects

[ddiego]

In Ray's note to me (http://vcf-online.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=117 ) he mentioned the lack of demo's, which is a valid criticism, IMHO. We have a list of examples, but these do not neccessarily "show off" the VCF as they are meant specifically as learning tools, not too show off the framework.

So I am wondering what people think would make some good "demo" projects, something to show off the VCF. A small project that demonstrates some really cool features, or some other compelling features of the VCF.


Please respond with suggestions here.

Hi...

I was wondering if maybe the library could have a small/medium size demo app like the JDK SwingSet, or like wxWindows has. Something showing off the different visual components, with a CODE tab on the side so that a newbie, like my self, can easily start using the library.

I use my self as an example, I have just strarted trying to use VCF, and like it a lot, but I am having a hard time finding which is the class for each visual component.

Some are self explanatory eg CommandButton, but others are not as easy. For example I saw the TitleBorder but have still to find a control that takes the border so that I may simulate a JPanel with a TitleBorder to get a GroupBox for controls!

The kind of demo like the swingset would be an incredible advantage, show off the visual components and maybe more, and also it becomes like a working tutorial.

Well enough for now.

cheers,
Christian
