About Framework Programming Examples
The following topics compare and contrast programming styles using the Framework with the older programming approaches used by most programmers in the past. If you are not already an experienced Zim programmer, you can safely skip this section. The discussion is organized around four major topics:
- event handling versus action handling
- program organization and event driven applications
- application messages
- data entry state handling
In the following, when we refer to “older” programming, we mean the most common approaches used when programming with Zim 4.2 and earlier. With Zim, there are always many different ways to solve a problem. The code samples shown here are intended to highlight the differences between programming with and without the Framework.
