Exercises
1. Remove the Pause, Step Over, and Trace Into buttons from the toolbar. Add Cut,
Copy, and Paste buttons to the toolbar.
2. Reset the toolbar to its default settings.
3. Spend some time looking over the components on each page of the Component
Palette. Place any components you are curious about on a form and experiment
with them.
4. Create a new directory on your hard drive. Create a new application in
C++Builder. Add three new forms to the project (they can be blank if you want).
Save the project to the new directory you created and run the program. Close the
program. Now examine the directory where the project was saved. Compare the
files you see there with the file types listed in Table 6.1.
5. Run the Picture Viewer program you created earlier. Open several graphics files.
Drag the MDI child windows around in the parent window. Attempt to move a
child window outside of the parent. What happens?
6. With the Picture Viewer program still running, minimize all windows. Drag the
minimized windows to random locations on the screen and then choose
Window | Arrange All from the menu.
7. Start a new application. Place several components on the form. Click on each
component and observe the properties for each component in the Object Inspector.
8. Create a blank form. Double-click in the Value column next to the Color property
to invoke the Color dialog box. Choose a color and click OK.
9. Get some rest. Tomorrow is going to be a big day.
