Noob to Pro Integrate GUI

In the last couple of posts we have spent a bunch of time separating the GUI from the logic. Let complete this shift and get everything wired back up into a working program in this Noob to Pro post about how to integrate the GUI.

How to Integrate the GUI

Lets look and see where we are in our code. Just to catch everyone up.

Is everyone caught up now? Let start with FormCalc.cs. First we want to remove the values from the GUI. We will replace with the FormCalcController object. It will be responsible for maintaining these values.

We will leave the number buttons alone and move onto the add, subtract, multiple and divide buttons’ click events. If you deleted the values like I said above you can use the errors as a guide.

We need to correct the buttons. Lets start with the divide button. Take everything other than the setting txtInput to an empty string. Delete it. Replace it with a call to the controller divide function. Then repeat that for add, subtract and multiple. Remember to correct for which function is being called.

private void btnDivide_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    controller.setDivide(txtInput.Text);
 
    txtInput.Text = string.Empty;
}

Now we move to the beast. We move to the equal sign. The easiest way to deal with this one is get rid of everything we used in the FormCalcController setEquals function. Then replace it with a call to setEqual.

private void btnEquals_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    lblResult.Text = controller.setEquals(txtInput.Text).ToString();
    txtInput.Text = string.Empty;
}

Finally pull the instantiation of values out of the FormCalc_Load.

Lets see what the final FormCalc.cs looks like after all these changes.

Look at how much smaller this class is after we moved the logic to its own place. Really it was just that easy to integrate all our tested code into this Noob to Pro calculator GUI. Let me know below how you are doing as we approach the end of our time together in the Noob to Pro series down in the comment below.
