[Flow]
• Right after creating a Visual MIDlet you'll see the Flow Design, that currently is pretty
barren.
• You drag UI elements from the right-most list.
• You add commands to UI elements the same way, and draw flow lines from commands
to other UI elements etc.
• Visual Mobile Designer (VMD) will automatically create Java code that corresponds
exactly to what you've drawn in the Flow Design View.
• Always name the UI elements logically. Never use the default names, as they are
impossible to remember.
• If this view gets cluttered you can click on the right-most icon on the tab line (looking
like two boxes) to clean up the layout.
[Screen]
• The Screen Design tab is used for editing the contents of individual UI elements. To open
it you can double-click on any Screen.
• When dealing with command types I recommend the following:
o Use EXIT type for Application Exit
o Use OK type with a very high priority (low value) for Submit, Send, Save, Next
etc commands
o Use BACK type for Back, Cancel, Previous etc commands
o Use SCREEN type and a priority to sort low-priority commands in the menu
o In Lists: Set up a command that will be activated when pressing Select
• Note that different phones prioritize commands differently, but the above gives high
priority commands a bigger chance to be mapped to soft keys.
[Source]
• When you select the Source tab you will see the code that VMD has created.
• The blue lines are controlled by VMD, so you can't edit them directly.
