The management of a dFrame
comprises 3 phases that it is important to well differentiate:
Instantiation consists in creating an object using the
DFrame class:
var dFrame
= new DFrame(parameters);
Decoration consists in adding graphic objects, Bars, Buttons
and Menus, to the DFrame:
var bar
= dFrame.addBar(parameters);
bar.addButton(parameters);
bar.addButtonImage(parameters);
bar.addMenu(parameters);
...
Creation creates a graphic representation of the object. Using one of the 3 following methods does it:
dFrame.setURL(parameters);
or
dFrame.show(parameter);
or
dFrame.alert(parameter);
The methods of decoration cannot be used any more on an object that was created.
The closing of a dFrame is carried out by the closeFrame method. This method closes the DFrame and withdraws the taskBar of the buttons that are associated to the DFrame. This method is generally associated with a button:
bar.addButton(' Close', ' thisDFrame.closeFrame() ')
