Composition Editor: going deeper
Constructing your first visual application, presents a great deal about constructing user interfaces using the Composition Editor's parts palette, toolbar, and free-form surface. To build on these fundamental tasks, you need to learn about manipulating parts and their properties, working with connections and their properties, and correcting mistakes.
These are the concepts of visually constructing user interfaces and building applications. This section goes into some more detailed visual construction topics, such as:
a. Working with parts
1. Changing their properties
2. Changing their colors and fonts
3. Tearing off attributes from the parts
b. Working with connections
1. Changing their properties
2. Providing parameters to connections
3. Manipulating connections
4. Correcting mistakes using Undo/Redo
While reading through this section if you have already built the ToDo List example, you might want to open up your ToDoListView part and try out some of the tasks described. If you do not already have the Composition Editor for the ToDoListView part open, from the Organizer, double-click on ToDoListView in the Parts pane.
