Once you create an application and a part, it's a good idea to periodically display the part and see if it functions properly.

Using the Test tool

While in a Composition Editor, Script Editor, or the VisualAge Organizer, you can display a visual part that has a window or form. Just click on Test (the Test tool) in the tool bar.

Running a Smalltalk statement

If you have ready access to the System Transcript window, you might want to run some Smalltalk code to display the part.

To display a VisualAge part that has a window or form:

  1. Type in the System Transcript window:
    <part name> new openWidget
    
  2. Highlight the text.
  3. From the Edit menu, select Execute.

To display a Smalltalk class that has a window:

  1. Type in the System Transcript window:
    <part name> new open
    
  2. Highlight the text.
  3. From the Edit menu, select Execute.
