Event-driven Programming

• VB and Delphi give close support to event-driven programming

  • where app. is idle until its behaviour is triggered by a user-initiated “event”

• Each predefined widget has a skeleton body of methods (procedures) to support events

  • e.g., LeftMouseButtonDown( )
  • user supplies implementation code

• Screens can be animated prior to coding specific application behaviour
