Applet Structure

The Applet structure is quite simple. In fact, it's a single folder which will contain all the components which will be used by the applet (code, images, files, etc...). First of all, choose a location on your PC where you will put all your Pointui ressources.

  1. Create a 'Pointui' main directory
  2. Then, create an 'Applets' sub folder

Applet Name

The Applet name must be unique and representative of what the applet is designed to. Your first applet is called 'HomeSweetHome':

  1. Create a sub folder and name it 'HomeSweetHome' under the 'Applets' folder

Of course, this 'HomeSweetHome' is quite empty for the moment but don't worry, we are going to populate it.

Applet Script

The Applet script is a simple text file which contains the Pointui C code, all the instructions needed by Home to display your applet.

  1. Open the Notepad
  2. Copy and Paste this text in it : 
	class HomeSweetHomeApplet : Applet
	{
	}
  1. Save this text file with the name 'HomeSweetHome.cs' in the 'HomeSweetHome' folder.

Note :

  • Syntax is very important. As you see, the class name is composed with the name of your applet suffixed by Applet. Also, you must add an '{' and a '}' to open and close it.
  • You could read this line: create the object HomeSweetHomeApplet of the Applet class.
  • The file extension '.cs' is also imperative.

What have I done?

Well, your first applet is now created. To summarize, here is what you should see on PC:
