How Do I...
If you've completed steps 1 through 10, you've finished the
application. Now the moment of truth!
Run and test your application
To see if AlarmClockApplication functions properly:
- Click on
in an editor open on AlarmClockView. The displayed window
should resemble the following:

- Select a time from the spin buttons. Since you're testing,
select a time that is a minute or so after your system clock's current
time.
- Type a message in the Message to be shown field. You can
enter a carriage return to move to the next line.
- Select Set Alarm. When your system's clock reaches
the time you selected, the message box should open, resembling the
following:

- Select OK to close the message box. And, after
you've finished testing, select Cancel to close the Alarm
Clock window.
Saving the parts and connections
To ensure that you don't lose your work, select Save Part
from the File menu.
You might also version AlarmClockView and then release it to
AlarmClockApplication.
To do this:
- Return to the VisualAge Organizer.
- In the Parts pane, select AlarmClockView.
- From the basic Parts menu, do the following:
- Select Version.
- In the displayed prompter, name the version--or keep the default
1.0--and select OK.
- Select Release.
- From the full Parts menu, do the following:
- Select Version > Use Defaults.
- Select Release > Current Version.
In the Details or Flowed Icon views, you now see the version name.
Save your development image before you exit VisualAge. (From a
File menu, select Save Image.) Then, the
application will remain in the image and you'll be able to use it when
you restart VisualAge.
