Hey guys !
You've been dreaming about it, and now that dream comes true...
Yes you're not sleeping anymore : now you have a cool environment to develop your Applets!
"Yeeeeepeeee !"
ok ok calm down it's not really perfect but it's really helpful.
WHAT'S THAT?
This is a Visual Studio project that contains all classes according to the documentation on PointUI's website.
Each objects and functions that have been commented in the documentaion are also integrated in the project.
What does that mean ?
Well Just download free version of Visual Studio C# and open the project :
You'll have a working environment with code autocompletion for making you applet.
For example you define an object like
Label myLabel;
Then when you'll use myLabel object, you'll have all the functions available for that object and also function's parameters help.
Now you don't really need to switch between your source code and the documention.... Almost everything is embedded. Well, code samples from the documentation has not been copied so you'll have sometimes to open your browser ... Please forgive me T-T
STARTING YOUR APPLET:
You have to respect some rules to make it work. See MyApplet.cs at the root of the project to see what you need to start.
Then you have to know that the following functions are present for almost every object but have no part in PointUI scripting :
- ToString() (sometimes could be implemented be careful !)
- Equals()
- GetType()
- GetHashCode()
Make sure that one of these function is implemented before using it (open the right object class and look at the source code to be sure! ).
When your applet is done, remove region of code that need to be remove and it's done. Copy your CS file into the right folder on your device and ... Voila ! You can start debug or enjoy your work.
Note : you don't have to build or compile anything since we are not developping a real C# application. We just need to use a Visual Studio IDE for, mainly, code autocompletion !
PLEASE READ THE ONLINE DOCUMENTATION!
It is updated whereas this SDK is not updated in time.
- What you have to know about coding :

- What you have to do in order to make your applet running :

- Follow examples from the documentation :
http://docs.pointui.com/Introduction
VERSION INFORMATION:
All the object have been implemented util 2.1 version. For upcomming functions/objects implementation, this package will be obsolete and will need to be updated. Well you can do it yourself, it's not really hard. Just look in some classes and do the same by copying things from the documentation to the project.
Actualy the project has been made for Visual Studio 2005 but should be converted to 2008 project without any problem.

Thank you for every one that is working on PointUI to make that Home2 OUR home ;-)
Wanna thank's me ? Ok I need some billions dollars/euros ($_$) but if you have just some times to make me a great and beautiful japanese based theme for pointui, then it will be enough to make me happy ^^
If you are willing to do it contact me.
AlnCool
