Creating a Manager and Displaying its Content in a View

 INDEX Gray bullet PREVIOUS NEXT

You can now create an IlvManager Bean. The IlvManager Bean provides the data structure that contains the graphic objects you want to display.

To create the IlvManager Bean:

  1. Click the IlvManager Bean icon images/IlvManagerColor16.gif on the toolbar.
  2. Drag it into the form designer.
    3. The class IlvManager is not a graphical Bean, so it is not managed the same way by the different IDEs. The image below shows the manager as a small object inside the form designer.

You must now associate the view with the manager. This is done by setting the manager property of the IlvManagerView Bean to our new manager Bean.
  1. Select the IlvManagerView object so that its property sheet is active.
  2. Set the value of its Manager property to ilvManager1 as seen in Figure 3.6:

The IlvManagerView will now display the content of the IlvManager Bean. You can create several IlvManagerView objects and associate them with the same IlvManager Bean. This allows you to have several views of the same data.
