7 A Tour of the DUIM Libraries
7.6 Where to go from here
This concludes a fairly basic tour of the major functionality provided by DUIM. Other topics that have not been covered in this tour include colors, fonts, images, generic drawing properties, and the functionality provided to for defining your own sheets and handling events.
From here, you can refer to two other sources of information.
- If you have not already done so, go back and study the chapters that cover the development of the Task List Manager application (Chapter 2 to Chapter 5 inclusive). Try building the project in the development environment, experiment with the code, and extend the application in any way you wish.
- A number of DUIM examples are supplied with Functional Developer, in addition to those discussed in this book. In the environment, choose Tools > Open Example Project to display the Open Example Project dialog, and try some of the examples listed under the DUIM category.
- For complete information on everything provided by DUIM, look at the DUIM Reference Manual. This contains a complete description of every interface exported by DUIM, together with examples where relevant. The reference manual also provides further information about how you should use DUIM, and the organization of the DUIM class hierarchy.
