Starting a New Project

The design phase of an applet takes place in VisualApplets. To open VisualApplets, click on the file VisualApplets.exe in the bin folder in the VisualApplets installation directory, or the VisualApplets program icon in the Windows Start menu or on the icon on your desktop.

  1. At first, the VisualApplets main window opens up with no project loaded.

  2. Click on File+New ( Ctrl+N ) or use the New icon from the File icon bar. A New Project window opens up which allows you to specify project name, target hardware platform, and target runtime. You can always change these settings later on.

  3. To follow the example here, use the following settings:

    Project Name: Sobel_Filter

    Hardware Platform: microEnable 5 marathon VCL

    Target Runtime: Win 64 (Windows/AMD64)

  4. Confirm your settings by clicking OK.

VisualApplets now starts a new project and you see a blank design window in the center of the program window. In the Project Info tab on the right, information regarding the current project, such as project name, target hardware, target platform etc. is displayed.
