CIS 3290 Spring 1999
Professor:Dr. Baskerville
Student: Alex Nava Final Project Project Name:"PowerPoint Style Checker"
Project's Description
This project will simulate the Style Checker Options dialog box found in Power Point.
The following is a description of the original program's functionality.
To find the original program, do the following:
Open Power Point 97
From the menu bar chose "File"
Select "New"
Click "OK"
Again, from the menu bar
Choose "tools"
Select "Style Checker"
Press on the button "Options"
After you have pressed the "Options" button
the "Style Checker Options" dialog box appears.
This program (the original program) checks the different parts of the slides that compose a
Power Point presentation. The functionality of this program is divided into two main parts.
The first part checks the case in:
the Slide title style
the Body text style
The second part checks the end punctuation for
the slide title periods
the body text periods
This is a dynamic dialog box because selecting the check boxes will activate or deactivate the
two combo boxes. Also, pressing the "Defaults" button, will reset all the controls in the dialog
box back to the original values.
Project's Plan
I will try to simulate all of the GUI funcionalities for this dilog box.
The main goals that I will try to accomplish are:
replicate the GUI design, which includes drawing:
two check boxes
four frames (Case,End Punctuation, Slide Title periods, Body text periods)
six radio buttons
two edit boxes
three buttons
when selecting a check box, the appropriate combo box will be activated or deactivated
the combo boxes will contain several different options to chose
when pressing the "defaults" button, the dialog box will return to its default state
Pressing the "OK" button will cause the main window object to display the current selections
for the dialog box
Because this program's funcionality goes beyond the scope of our course, it may not be
completely replicated. In addition, the design may not be an exact copy of the original.
