A wealthy philanthropist has nothing to do with her time but to collect
things. Besides philanthropy,
she has nothing to do with her money except sponsoring programming
projects She is eccentric
and refuses to use any code on her modest custom SGI workstation except
that which is designed
for her use. She has commissioned you to to create a little program
which she can make store records
of items she collects on a list. The program should have fields
describing the name of the item being
recorded and four or five fields to store particular relevant information.
You should use as a model
of anything that is interesting to you as a prototype. For instance
Stamp : Dutch 2 cent; Price : $45,000 Year : 1723 Condition : good
The Collection should have a major title in a label. You should look
ahead to the Font class to
improve the over all appearance of this label that describes what the
collection is.
The collection can be bugs, cars, people's names addresses and phone
numbers, _anything of interest
to you.
The program should have an add and remove button at the bottom. The
add button should take
whatever is entered in the fields above and add it to the list. The
remove button should remove
anything that is highlighted by the mouse in the list component. Some
assistance will be forthcoming
regarding implementing the adding and removing of elements. In the
meantime you should proceed
with the implementation of the visual interface.
You can add as many features as you like to your model and the more
innovative it is the better.
Good additional features usually result in bonuses from the matron
though even she has her limit.
