Adding Selector beans to the Visual Composition Editor

To use Selector beans, the Data Access Beans feature must be added to VisualAge for Java.

These are nonvisual beans that you use to navigate result sets returned by a Select or ProcedureCall bean. Start by adding one of the beans to the Visual Composition Editor surface as follows:

  1. From the category drop-down menu in the Visual Composition Editor, select the Database category.
  2. Select csel32.gif (266 bytes) for a CellSelector, rowsel32.gif (284 bytes) for a RowSelector bean, colsel32.gif (303 bytes) for a ColumnSelector bean, or crgsel32.gif (317 bytes)  for a CellRangeSelector bean..
  3. Move the mouse pointer to the location on the Visual Composition Editor surface where you want to place the bean.
  4. Press and hold mouse button 1. Without releasing the mouse button, move the mouse pointer to position it precisely.
  5. Release the mouse button. The bean is placed at the location of the mouse pointer.
