What App Builder Does Application Builder (also called App Builder) provides a simple method for developers and others to construct applications that integrate well into the Common Desktop Environment. It provides two basic services: aid in assembling Motif objects into the desired application user interface, and generation of appropriate calls to the routines that support desktop integration services (ToolTalk messaging, drag and drop, for example). Key supported tasks include: Interactive layout of the user interface for an application, constructing it piece-by-piece from a collection of objects from the &ProductName; Motif toolkit. Definition of connections between objects to provide elements of application interface behavior, and a limited test mode that allows connections to be exercised. Interactive specification of the interconnections desired between the application and &ProductName; desktop services. Editing of applications previously created using App Builder. Generation of C language source code and associated project files for the application. Generation (compilation) and invocation of the application from within Application Builder, allowing you to execute the build/run/debug cycle from a common environment (without having to exit and restart App Builder)
