Develop Your First Java Application in 20 Minutes › Panel Designer › Regenerate the Function

Regenerate the Function

Now that you have modified the panel, you must regenerate and rebuild the function that displays it before you can see the changes.

To regenerate and rebuild the Project.Edit

If you still have the Generate and Build window open, switch to it. Otherwise, click the New Gen & Build window toolbar button.

Select Project.Edit.

To rebuild a panel, you regenerate and rebuild the function that scopes it. Because you have only modified the Project.Edit.Panel object, you only need to regenerate and rebuild Project.Edit. If you had made changes that affected the scoped table or other objects, you would also need to regenerate and rebuild those other objects.

Click the Generate and Build toolbar button.

Click Yes when prompted to generate and click Yes when prompted to build.

When the Generate and Build process is complete, click Project.Edit in the Generate and Build window, and click the Run toolbar button.

The modified dialog appears showing the data you already entered.

1. Select the text in the Project Description field for Proj01 and replace it with a longer description. For example:

   Create a database application for the McCready account. Contact is Jim Hauser, 415-555-3146.

2. Click Apply.

   Notice that the description is changed in the grid and detail regions.

3. Select Proj02 and Proj03 and repeat this process to change their description to:

   Proj02: Create an email client for internal support staff.

   Proj03: Convert the ODBC version of the McCready application to a System i version.

4. Close the application.
