Taligent Samples

• Supported - Functionality that we intend to carry forward, either by putting it into the CommonPoint system or through future incarnations of the sample code. Caveat developor: The APIs might change in a later release. For more detailed descriptions, see Supported Apps, Supported Examples, Supported Enablers.
• Unsuppported - Interesting code that either helps you to understand the CommonPoint System or demonstrates code for a problem domain. We might provide this code (or add similar functionality) in a future release, but we don't guarantee it. For more detailed descriptions, see Unsupported Apps, Unsupported Examples, Unsupported Enablers.
• Apps - Sophisticated programs in the form of Documented Samples, tutorials, and other applications. Supported apps include extensive written materials.
• Examples - Snippets and samples that support and reinforce the CommonPoint developer guides. Snippets are code fragments that demonstrate an atomic task, e.g., "apply styles to text." Samples are small programs with up to a half dozen classes, also focused on just one task.
• Enablers - Supplementary classes and frameworks. These are not sample code per se, but classes, subsystems, or frameworks too useful to go home without. Source code is not necessarily provided.

Supported Apps

• ConcurrentActors is a simulation program demonstrating real-time graphics and concurrency control. See Documented Samples Book, README.ConcurrentActors.
• StockBrowser is a data-visualization program for stock data that uses the CommonPoint Presentation framework, remote procedure call (RPC) sevices, and derived classes of MGraphic. See Documented Samples Book, README.StockBrowser.
• TilesTutorial walks through the development of a simple program using the Presentation framework. See README.TilesTutorial.
• WebRunnerSample is a viewer for accessing, reading, and navigating through various online informational sources. This program shows compound document behavior (such as embedding), how to integrate non-Taligent data formats, and how to provide a smooth interface to the Internet. See Documented Samples Book, README.WebRunnerSample.

Supported Examples

• This directory contains example code illustrating use of selected CommonPoint frameworks. The code ranges in size from single functions to small programs of half a dozen classes. All the code can be examined, copied, and executed, except for the source for the snippet utilities, which is not provided. For information about the particular examples, refer to Examples.

Supported Enablers

• AtomicModel provides implementations of TAtomicModelOn<> and TAtomicSelectionOn<>. These are convenience classes designed to ease the burden of constantly deriving from TModel, TModelSelection, and MDataExchanger when the data being modeled is a simple atomic piece of data. See README.AtomicModel.
• ExampleUtilities contains code for the snippet browser component, the RunSnippet utility (which runs snippets), and the SampleWindowProgram (which is used by the samples). These applications are not intended as samples themselves and are not documented. See README.ExampleUtilities.
• GrafEdit provides supporting sample source code referenced by GrafEdit documentation.
• PresentationFramework provides supporting sample source code referenced by the Creating A Basic Application and Desktop Frameworks Concepts developer guides.
• TaligentSelectionTool provides a standard arrow cursor and its associated behavior. This program shows you how to implement a cursor tool which provides the ability to select data, to manipulate data by extending or dragging the data selection, and to receive selection and drop acceptance feedback. See README.TaligentSelectionTool.

Unsupported Apps

• Mars is a sample application demonstrating the functionality of the GrafEdit framework. See README.Mars.
