Before you can add state checking to your To-Do List
applet, you may need to find it. When you created it in the Visual
Composition Editor, you may not have kept track of where VisualAge for Java
was putting the code it generated to implement the applet. Do not
worry: VisualAge for Java gives you powerful search capabilities for
finding program elements. These capabilities are described in more
detail in Searching. For now, here is quick way to find your To-Do List
applet:
- In the Workbench window, select the Projects page.
- From the Selected menu, select Go To and then
Type. The GoTo Type window appears:

- Enter the name of your To-Do List applet (for example,
ToDoList) in the Pattern field. As you enter the
name, the Type Names list changes to include only the types (that
is, the classes and interfaces) that match what you have entered so
far.
- Select the name of your To-Do List applet from the Type Names
list. If packages are listed in Package Names, it means that
more than one package has a class with the name you specified. Select
the package in which you created the To-Do List applet and select
OK.
- The list of projects is updated. The project and package that
contain your applet are expanded, and the class for your applet is
selected.
Now you have found the class for your applet, you are ready to version
it.
