Part 5. Advanced Programming

In this final part of the book we have grouped a number of topics that go beyond the creation of graphic objects. These topics include:

• Programming reactors that can trigger actions depending on the occurrence of certain events.
• Creating graphical user interfaces for the management of our programs.
• Adding alphanumeric information to the drawing, in most cases associated with graphic objects and the creation of tables using that information within the drawing.
• Managing other applications in the Windows environment using Visual LISP programs.
• Creating Visual LISP compiled applications operating in their own namespace.

These subjects the following Chapters are devoted:

• Chapter 21. Reacting to Events: Reactors.
• Chapter 22. DCL: The Graphical User Interface.
• Chapter 23. Associating information to Graphic Objects.
• Chapter 24. Tables.
• Chapter 25. Visual LISP as ActiveX client.
• Chapter 26. VLX: The Visual LISP Executable.
• Chapter 27. OpenDCL.
