Emulator Options


The MID Emulator has a menu which controls many aspects of the functioning of the MID Emulator. The menu has five parts.

MIDlet Status

The MIDlet status area is the first part of the menu. It shows the status of all currently loaded MIDlets.

The name of each MIDlet appears first. Next the current status is listed. The status may be either Started, Paused, or Destroyed. Finally there is a row of state-changing buttons which may be used to change the state of the MIDlet.

If a MIDlet is in the Started state, new displayables added to the Display node of the Composer Workspace will be shown in the Emulator. In addition, any existing display may be shown using the button on the display's property sheet, and all code will run interactively. A MIDlet in the Started state may change states if one of the state-changing buttons to the right is pressed, if the appropriate item in the MIDlet menu of the Composer is selected, or by a programmatic change by the MIDlet.

If a MIDlet is in the Paused state, it will not be displayed in the Emulator. However, the state of the MIDlet may be changed by pressing the buttons in the menu, by choosing the appropriate items in the MIDlet menu of the Composer, or by a programmatic change by the MIDlet. Note that when a Paused MIDlet is started, it will cause the MIDlet currently in the Started state to become Paused.

If a MIDlet is in the Destroyed state, it will not be displayed in the Emulator. A Destroyed MIDlet may only be restarted by reloading the MIDlet from the MIDlet menu of the Composer. Since the buttons in the menu will have no effect on the MIDlet, they are disabled in this case.
