Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Motif Transition Guide

GUI Builder Code

Use a Motif GUI builder such as App Builder or SunSoft Visual WorkShop to build a simple Solaris CDE application. Then generate code from it to see what the code looks like. This is a good way to learn how to use Solaris Motif and some of the CDE functionality.

The more features in App Builder you use, the more coverage you get in generated code of Solaris CDE features. Try App Builder to, for example, alter object attributes, create connections, and use the Applications Framework Editor. Then generate code and examine it. Cycle through this process to generate variations of code to look at and learn from.
