Introduction
This section describes the User Interface (UI) components available in Pro/TOOLKIT for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 3.0 onwards. The following topics introduce each of the dialog component types, operations and callbacks available for each component, and the methods and techniques that can be used to instantiate and show customized user interface dialogs.
This section includes documentation for each UI component. The documentation is divided into the following sections:
• Attributes—Defines the names and functions that affect attributes on the UI component. Each component supports its own set of unique attributes; however, some attributes are supported by more than one component. Because of the fact that attributes typically work on more than one component, detailed documentation for the attributes is included in a master table at the end of this topic.
• Operations—Defines the component-specific functions that make more detailed modifications to the components.
• Actions—Defines the functions that register action callbacks on a component.
 From Creo 3.0 onward, a new tool, Creo UI Editor, allows you to interactively create and edit dialog boxes for Creo Object TOOLKIT C++ and Creo Object TOOLKIT Java customizations. It provides a library of graphical user interface components such as buttons, lists, and so on. The new framework, User Interface Foundation Classes (UIFC), provides enhanced attributes and actions for the user interface components. The UIFC framework is available in Creo Object TOOLKIT C++ and Creo Object TOOLKIT Java. You can generate callbacks in Creo Object TOOLKIT C++ or Creo Object TOOLKIT Java. Refer to the Creo UI Editor User’s Guide, for more information. |
