This is a translation of the test program by the same name in the FOX distribution. FOX demo applications are converted into Eiffel code. This is another translation of a test program included with FOX and one which is presented as a teaching application in the FOX introduction. This is most important example application. It provides a tree which permits display of each of the FOX widgets and allows you to interactively configure their display properties to learn how these will affect the widget.
Notes Note that the widget and message data inheritance hierarchies are fairly deep.
Therefore, it is essential to look at the flat-short forms of the classes when you are trying to see what they really provide. Caveats EiffelFox should be considered to be late beta software. Because FOX is still in late beta, any interface changes made to FOX will necessarily be reflected in future releases of EiffelFox, thus necessitating changes to application code. Also, there are still likely to be some changes to feature names and some adjustments to how certain things are done. No doubt, there are bugs waiting to be discovered, but most are likely to be caught by assertion violations.
