You have been processing objects with JadeScripts.
Library system users will want an application(s), based around forms.
Forms are designed in the JADE painter application,
which is started by clicking the
toolbar button from the development environment.
The painter is shown on the right.
A typical form has buttons, labels,
textboxes and many other types of control
Forms and controls are objects in JADE and are treated no differently
from the Book and Borrower objects.
When you create a form in the painter,
a corresponding class is created in the Class Browser.
A form not only has to look nice, it must also work!
So there are two stages to building a form for an application.
- Layout and formatting is done in the painter
- Coding is done in the Class Browser
