Guide to Creating a Minimal NewtApp

Slot Layer

18. Choose a slot view proto (for example, newtLabelInputLine). Draw it as a child of the newtEntryView (see FIGURE 10.10).

19. Set the path slot of the slot view proto to the symbol of a slot in your soup entries (for example 'address).

20. Repeat steps 18 and 19 for each slot in your soup entry.

21. Save the layout file as "Default.t" and add it to the project. Move it so that it is compiled before the main layout by using the Process Earlier menu item (see FIGURE 10.10).
