Is there a development environment where you can do object-oriented
development by dragging and dropping objects on to a workspace and
then edit each of those objects to write code? I am thinking something
similar to an IDE like PowerBuilder or Visual Studio which allows us
to drag ang drop visual objects (text boxes, checkboxes etc) and then
doubleclick on them (on click a menu) to go to a corresponding code
editor to edit the code?
I know that you can do some in Visual Studio (ie drag a data adapter
onto a form). But I was thinking more from the point of view of
non-visual classes where no visual objects are involved. Like for
example, if we write a few classes for generating an order - i should
be able to drag a class onto a workspace, name it "Order" and write
code. Then drag another class, name it "orderline" and write code. The
point is that while I edit code to the right side of the IDE, the
high-level class relationship is visible on the left as a whole. No
code generation and all that, just a lightweight editor for writing
objects.
I am sure somebody must have already thought of this? maybe it already
exists in IDEA, Eclipse? Or Rational? Dont know...need to check it out
but would appreciate it if anybody already knows and could tell me...
Thanks
