Abstract:
1. A method for designing a graphical user interface (GUI) development tool, comprising: creating a windows event class, in which a property of window predefined condition events and a property of window drag and drop events are defined; creating a windows adapter class, in which a trigger method of window predefined condition events is defined to trigger the property of window predefined condition events defined in the window event class in response to occurrence of the window predefined condition events; and a trigger method of window drag and drop event is defined to trigger, using a processor, the property of window drag and drop event defined in the windows event class under the edit mode in response to occurrence of the window drag and drop events; creating, using the processor, a windows class, in which a window listener method is created which is configured to cause the window to enter into an edit mode in response to detecting the property of window predefined condition events defined in the windows event class is triggered; and to obtain and save initial location, dragged-to location and the mapping relationship between thereof for each component in the window in response to detecting that the property of window drag and drop events that is defined in the window class is triggered; and creating a component class, in which an action listener method is defined to cause components in a window to be dragged to other locations of the window in which the components are located in response to detecting that the window is under the edit mode.
