December 1996

At the December SIG meeting, we will look at a Java program that performs calendar functions. It will automatically compute the days for the default SCOUG events but also accepts parameters for overriding these and adding other events. Clicking on a day will display an expanded description of that day's event. If you would like to look at the program and/or its source before the meeting, you can download it by clicking here . To run it under OS/2 you need the beta2 version of the Netscape browser. After unzipping the file (into an hpfs partition since it requires long filenames), open either of the included html files in the browser. The source is in the Build4.java file.

April 1996

Click here to download the source for the Open Class library sample program discussed at the April SIG meeting. Included is the source, makefile and test profile.

May 1996

Due to the Merlin demo at the May meeting, we did not have a SIG meeting and so the modified sample program (use of canvases and dialogs for font and color) will be discussed in June. If you would like to study the source changes for these features, click here to download the modified zip file.

July 1996

At the July SIG meeting, we will look at a simple yet powerful editor based on the MLE class. It will be used to demonstrate how that class can be easily subclassed to provide editing (eg cut/paste/undo), toolbars and flyover text. In addition, the use of the IThreadFn class to allow class member functions to execute as separate threads will be discussed. Click here to download the source and executable for this sample program. We will also look at some of the Merlin changes that relate to programming/application development.

August 1996

At the August SIG meeting, we will look at an openclass multimedia sample program which also utilizes the container class. If you wish to look at the source prior to the meeting, click here to download the source and executable. (You must have multimedia installed to execute it.)

September 1996

Here are the samples Melanie used at the September Programming SIG.
