An IVIB Primer - Unicon

The application is now complete. Use the makefile or Unicon command to compile and link the program and run
the application as described in the Makefile section above. Now you can go back and add labels, or resize
components as needed.
Part II: Another Simple IVIB Application
The following example demonstrates how to create a simple application that uses modeless dialogs, edit dialog
features, tab sets, and overlays. The application will contain a main screen with a table, overlay and tab set. The
main screen will call an edit dialog that will have cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo features. This example will
illustrate:
1) modeless dialogs
2) tab sets, overlays
3) capturing table events double clicks, right clicks, column clicks
4) copy, cut, paste from clipboard
5) using buttons and keeping selected regions for copy, cut, paste
6) single undo/redo instead of default compound undo/redo
7) tab jumps to components
Modeless Dialogs
We are going to create a main dialog that contains a table of games. After you select one of the games from the
table, a modeless dialog will be displayed. First, create a directory where you can save all the files created for
this application. Change into this directory, and launch Ivib. You will see a blank canvas.
Enter the canvas attributes. Either right click on the Canvas for Dialog or go to the file menu option Canvas-
>Dialog prefs.
On the Code Tab enter:
Name dialogmain
On the Methods Tab, leave the Generate main() procedure checkbox 'on' so the box is checked. We want to put
our main procedure in this file. Leave all the other checkboxes on on the Methods Tab checked also.
On the Attribs Tab, Hit Add and replace Edit me with:
