Lesson 16
McManusCOP1006 1
OOP◦Classes◦Objects◦Inheritance◦Functions
GUI
Event-driven Object-Oriented Programming◦Events◦Interactivity
McManusCOP1006 2
Procedural◦Looks at the
actions or the data but not both at the same time.
◦Associated with menu-driven systems
Object-Oriented◦Looks at the data
parts and the actions associated with those data parts as one unit.
◦Associated with GUI systems
McManusCOP1006 3
A programming methodology in which the programmer can define not only data types, but also procedures that are automatically associated with them.
McManusCOP1006 4
User-defined types created by programmers
Contains data as well as the set of methods which manipulate that data.◦ Data components of a class are called instance
variables.◦ Nouns are used to create initial set of classes.◦ Verbs determine what methods to associate
with each class.◦ Can only contain code--no GUI elements.
Ex. Books
McManusCOP1006 5
An individual (member) instantiation of a class
Ex.◦ Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
by J. K. Rowling◦ It
by Stephen King More about Classes & Objects later
McManusCOP1006 6
Graphical objects (drawing tools) Mathematical objects
◦ Vectors, matrices Input-output devices
◦ The procedure to draw a line is different to different outputs
Simulations Reusable software components
McManusCOP1006 7
Enables implementation decisions to be made in stages: ◦ top level - focus on how to use a data object and
on what operators (procedures and functions) are needed.
◦ lower level - concentrate on implementation details.
McManusCOP1006 8
Programmers ◦ create new classes◦ reuse existing classes
Software is created by new classes with existing, well-defined, carefully tested, well-documented, widely available components.
Promotes Rapid Applications Development (RAD)
McManusCOP1006 9
Being able to describe an object’s behaviors without being concerned with the implementation details of those behaviors.
Classes can be replaced without affecting the remainder of the code.
McManusCOP1006 10
Library Checkout System◦ We would look at:
Menu-driven program Data input Checking out a book Checking in a book Printouts of all outstanding books Printouts of all books Add, delete, and update book info
McManusCOP1006 11
Library Checkout System◦ We would look at:
Books Recognize Book ID Recognize the Book’s author Check out Check in Location of book List all books Add, delete, and change data on a book

this stuff!

What characteristics should be defined at what level and what would be inherited by each object and to what level?
McManusCOP1006 16
Program design technique ◦ focuses on
the data objects needed by a program and the operations on those objects.
It specifies what data objects are needed for a problem without being concerned how the data objects will be represented.
McManusCOP1006 17
New data types can be defined based on previously defined objects◦ sharing code and behavior; and◦ involves classification of objects according to
shared properties

a variable with the same type as the data object◦ Class - Singly-linked List◦ Object – A specific Singly-linked List
McManusCOP1006 20
Concealing the details of a low-level module’s implementation from a higher-level module.
Looks forward to future maintenance by building details into the design phase.
McManusCOP1006 21
The use of different procedures, each with the same name, which are associated with different object types.◦ Allows each object to recognize the properties
pertinent to itself and to ignore those that are not.
McManusCOP1006 22
Example:◦ Procedures named draw associated with types
Point Circle Square
◦ Calling draw for any particular object gets the right drawing procedure for that type.
McManusCOP1006 23

Base Class
Generic recordset
Derived Classes
Dynaset-type recordset
Snapshot-type recordset
Table-type recordset
Uses the same name as the abstract data type recordset
A collection of like items or objects. Examples
◦ Books◦ Clients◦ Waiter◦ Cook
McManusCOP1006 25
An instance (member) of a class. Instances of Books
◦ Stephen King’s It◦ Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer◦ J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s
Stone◦ Tom Clancy’s Hunt for Red October
McManusCOP1006 26
Visual Basic’s Toolbox contains controls, each a class of objects.
Once selected, each instantiation is an object of a particular class of objects.
Used in GUI’s.
McManusCOP1006 27
Computer screen designed for easy interaction between the user and the computer.
Response to the demand by users for more user-friendliness in their interactivity with computers.
Takes up a HUGE amount of space. Languages that create GUI’s
◦ C++ and Visual Basic
McManusCOP1006 28
Each language has own set of events Examples of events
◦ Mousedown◦ Mouseup◦ Keydown◦ Keyup◦ Double click◦ Single click
McManusCOP1006 29
Use actions or events to trigger the execution of a set of instructions ◦ Sometimes called scripts or modules
The user dictates the order of program execution--not the programmer.
The program is instructed as to what actions to perform when events happen to those objects.
McManusCOP1006 30
Events are triggered by messages◦ When an event occurs, a message is generated
that describes what action occurred. ◦ When the control receives the message, it
generates an appropriate message response. Event Monitoring
◦ The state that the system is in after an event has completed execution but before a new event is detected.
McManusCOP1006 31
Exists when using event-driven languages Exists between screens and/or between the
user and the computer. Produces a non-linear application. Uses navigational tools
McManusCOP1006 32
Include ◦ Command buttons that can
Move forward or backward Quit the program Menu buttons
◦ Hot spots Planning MUST be used to make the
navigation user-friendly.
McManusCOP1006 33
Lesson17
McManusCOP1006 34
Success is measured by the amount of planning and inclusion of the user in the development process.
Include the user to give them warm fuzzies◦ This leads to buy-in by the client and user.
McManusCOP1006 35
Never lose sight of the purpose or the message.
Keep it simple!
Be consistent.
Design the navigation with the user in mind.
Understand when you can break the rules.
McManusCOP1006 36
Determine the◦ Requirements of the program
Input and output
◦ Classes of data Including properties and their attributes and the
functions (operations) of each class
◦ Interactivity Between classes and between the functions within
classes
◦ Instructions to accomplish each function.
McManusCOP1006 37
Is◦ Pleasant to look at◦ Functional◦ Provides easy access to its functions◦ Provides easy to understand instructions on the
functionality of the application◦ Allows the user to move through the program
non-linearly◦ Provides the ability to quit the program
McManusCOP1006 38
McManusCOP1006 39
Define the audience & the environment.◦ Know your audience◦ Know the environment in which the program will
be set
McManusCOP1006 40
Create the storyboards◦ Useful in designing the way your screen will
appear to the user.◦ It’s easier to take an eraser to paper than
redoing the screen ◦ Even loosely defined, this is basically the same
as creating a structure chart for the project◦ Example of storyboard
http://saulcarliner.home.att.net/id/storyboard.htm#screen
McManusCOP1006 41
McManusCOP1006 42
Define all objects◦ Screens are made up of objects◦ Developed
Within the software application In through an outside source
◦ Create an object dictionary Similar to a data dictionary
McManusCOP1006 43
Define the interactivity between screens.◦ Chart the interaction between the different
screens. Some may loop back on themselves Some may only go forward through a process
McManusCOP1006 44
Define the “scripts” (or modules)◦ Short sets of instructions attached to objects (or
to the entire application)◦ Includes the private functions that give the object
its functionality
