alphaBeans (JavaBeans for developing Java
applets or applications) available at AlphaWorks
-
alphaBeans, a collection of JavaBeans for developing Java applets or applications,
are now available at IBM's alphaWorks Web site. You can download these software
components and use them to build programs without writing a line of code.
Alarm Wake up your programs! Here's a non-visual bean
that you wire into your
application to make it do what it should, when it should do it.
LEDClock If you want to tell your user it's time for him
to do something, here's a digital clock
you can wire into your application or applet!
LogicalCircuits Learn bean wiring based on real wiring. Every
electronics engineer needs to
combine basic components into higher function circuits from half-adders to CPUs.
With these beans and a visual builder tool, you can do all this without touching
a
soldering iron or writing a line of code.
Masking Make your input fields user friendly! Set 'masks'
on input fields so that your user
can't make a mistake - every keystroke is checked to make sure the input is valid.
With these beans, you can make sure that it is a Date, Time, Social Security
Number, telephone number.... and much more...
NumberSpeller Is your Java program writing checks? Do you need
to spell-out something to your
user? NumberSpeller does just that. It transforms an integer number to a text
string
containing its spelled form. And if you really want to surprise your user, it
will spell
it in Russian!
Randomizer Great for generating test cases, or for adding
little surprises for your user -- and,
dare I say, an essential ingredient for most game programs...
Sort Have you built the "To Do" list visually
in VisualAge for Java? Now suppose you
want to order the list - in priority order, say. Write Code they say! No! we say...
get
help from the Sort bean and do it all Visually.
UIControls Users often want to customise the interface they
get -and we've made it easier for
you to make it easy for them. These beans form a consistent user interface that
also
let your user customise all the controls at once... keeping them looking consistent,
but the way your user wants them to look.
WiringHelpers Visual programming is great and highly productive...
until you try to add simple
logic, such as make that Button work only if that field has a value in it. Don't
give up
on visual programming- get help- get WiringHelpers for program logic without
writing a line of code.
