Creating the application executable

Getting Started : Constructing your second visual application : Creating the application executable

To make your application executable, you follow the same steps that you did when you built the To-Do List application. Refer to Making the To-do List an executable application. For the Investment sample, follow these steps:

1. Using the file manager for your operating environment, create a new directory to contain your packaged application.

For example, create a directory called INVEST on the C: drive.

2. In the Organizer, select your Investment application. Then, from the Applications pull-down menu, select Make Executable.

3. To pick the window that will be displayed at application start-up, select MainWindowView from the Windows to show at startup list, then select OK.

4. When the dialog appears that asks you if you want to continue, select Yes.

5. Next a file dialog will appear that requires you to specify the file name and location used during the packaging process. For our example do the following:

a. Type the file name in the File name field.

Note:

For Windows, use INVEST.EXE for the file name. For any UNIX platform, use invest for the file name.

b. Select the drive (C:) and directory (INVEST) you created for the application.

c. Then select OK.
