If you’re interested in this position, please contact me at [email protected].

Please send me your resume, salary indication, at least 1 reference and the files for the following test.

Test

Please submit 3 files: 1 app file and 1 class (inc and clw file).

The class:

  • Wraps 3 controls: a prompt, an entry and a button. These controls should not be created a runtime, this class should require the controls to be present on a window

  • Allows multiple instances of itself in the same procedure (each wrapping a different set of controls)

  • Use the WindowComponent interface

  • The entry control should accept manual entry of a filename. This filename should exist for the class to accept it.

  • The button should open a file dialog to allow the user to pick the file.

  • Should support hiding, enabling the controls

  • Should support changing the icon of the button and the text of the button

  • Should support changing the font of the controls

  • Error handling where needed

The app (no dct) – using ABC template chain - that demonstrates the use of the class. This app can require StringTheory if desired.

The app should have 1 window with the 3 controls populated in the designer. It should not be dependent on any ActiveX or 3rd party tools, except for StringTheory if desired.

There is no need to make this app look nice or do anything besides the above requirements. But feel free to go wild if you want - as long as I can compile and run the app.
