General Interface Documentation

General Interface provides the following documentation to assist you as you develop your General Interface applications:

  • Product documentation
  • Context-sensitive help
  • Spyglass help
  • API documentation

Product Documentation

Product documentation is available online at http://www.generalinterface.org/docs/display/DOC/Learning+Center.

Context-sensitive Help

To access context-sensitive help in General Interface Builder, move focus to an area of the IDE, such as a dialog, editor, or palette, and press Alt+F1 or click the Help button .

To implement context-sensitive help in your applications, see Implementing Context-Sensitive Help.

Spyglass Help

Documentation is also available in a spyglass in various areas of General Interface Builder. A spyglass contains descriptive text in HTML and can contain more information than a tooltip. To invoke a spyglass, hover the mouse over the following areas in the IDE:

  • Property names in the Properties Editor palette
  • Model event names in the Events Editor palette
  • APIs icon in the Settings panel of the XML Mapping Utility

You can also add spyglass documentation to your own applications using the Spyglass event (jsxspy) and the spy methods in the jsx3.gui.Interactive interface. For more information, see General Interface API Reference.

API Documentation

Online API documentation is available online at http://www.generalinterface.org/docs/display/DOC/API+Documentation.
