Web hosting domain names - CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATING THE REALBASIC INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT
CHAPTER 2 NAVIGATING THE REALBASIC INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT Note This application uses REALbasic s HTMLViewer control to create a custom web browser. This control is different than most other REALbasic controls in that it depends on other software being installed to work correctly. For the RB Book Browser application to run on Windows, Internet Explorer (IE) must be installed. To run the RB Book Browser application on Mac OS X, the Apple WebKit must be installed. Mac OS X s default browser, Safari, also uses the Apple WebKit to run. To run on Linux OS, the Mozilla browser must be installed. While you can count on your Windows and Mac OS X users to have the required software already installed on their computers, you cannot count on all your Linux users having Mozilla installed. As you can see, cross- platform application development is a challenge. The RBBookFinder Browser The RBBookFinder Browser, shown in Figure 2-19, is a custom-designed web browser designed to assist the user in locating computer and Information Technology (IT) books on the Internet. Figure 2-19. A look at the finished RBBookFinder browser application As you learned in Chapter 1, you typically follow a distinct series of steps in the development of a new REALbasic application. These steps include developing the application s interface, modifying window and control properties, adding program code, and application testing. You follow this same basic design process as you work your way through the creation of the RBBookFinder Browser. Note As you work your way through the development of the RBBookFinder browser application, focus on your interaction with the IDE and its various components. The development of the RBBookFinder Browser involves little program code and, for now, you should simply type in program statements as instructed.
