Class TickBase

java.lang.Object
  java.awt.Component
      java.awt.Container
          java.awt.Window
              java.awt.Frame
                  javax.swing.JFrame
                      TickBase

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.awt.event.WindowListener, java.awt.image.ImageObserver, java.awt.MenuContainer, java.awt.print.Printable, java.io.Serializable, java.util.EventListener, javax.accessibility.Accessible, javax.swing.RootPaneContainer, javax.swing.WindowConstants

public class TickBase
extends javax.swing.JFrame
implements java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.awt.event.WindowListener, java.awt.print.Printable

The "TickBase" class provides a foundation for Java Tick 1. It is intended to be used by writing a new class that extends it and provides it with a "main" method, as in

public class Tick1 extends TickBase
{

public static void main(String []args)
{
(new Tick1()).setVisible(true);
}

public String myName()
{
return "Arthur Norman";
}

}

and this will lead to an application that can be launched and will display a certificate confirming success.
