Generating default scripts
VA Smalltalk can help save you time and get you started by generating certain default scripts.
In the Public Interface Editor:
1. Select Generate Default Scripts from the File menu.
2. In the Generate Default Scripts window, select the Generate all push button.
3. Select
![Script Editor symbol Script Editor symbol](../ug/images/behaved.gif)
to switch to the Script Editor view of your Runner part.
4. Select the Not categorized category to view the scripts.
Notice that asResultString, finishTime, finishTime:, number, and number: are listed on the top-right and the following class definition is displayed in the text area:
AbtAppBldrPart subclass: #Runner
instanceVariableNames: 'asResultString number finishTime'
classVariableNames: ''
poolDictionaries: ''
Notice that these are all of the selectors and attribute data types you just generated.
Also notice that Runner is a subclass of AbtAppBldrPart. All nonvisual part classes are created as a subclass of AbtAppBldrPart so that they automatically inherit all of the properties and behaviors needed for VA Smalltalk to recognize them and keep them functioning as parts.
