Demo mode

To run Programming Taskbook in the demo mode the symbol "?" should be placed after a task name (for example, 'Begin3?').

The demo mode has the following features:

• the task solution contained in the student's program is not analyzed;
• the "Example of right solution" tab is active in the Programming Taskbook window;
• when a program is running it is possible to browse various sets of input and control data; to change a set of this data one should click the button labeled "New data" or press [Space] key;
• while a program is running it is possible to browse all tasks of a chosen group; to go to the next task one should click the button labeled "Next task" or press [Enter] key, to go to the previous task one should click the button labeled "Previous task" or press [Backspace] key.

Here is the screenshot of the Programming Taskbook window in the demo mode.

Note that the program always runs in the demo mode if the results.dat file is absent in a working directory or this file is corrupted or contains an invalid registration number of Programming Taskbook.

To browse task groups in the demo mode you can use PT4Demo tool. The PT4Demo tool is implemented as the PT4Demo.exe utility, which is available from the Programming Taskbook menu "Start | Programs | Programming Taskbook 4". The Demo.lnk shortcut provides PT4Demo.exe running, it is created automatically in any working directory.

Also the PT4Demo tool is integrated with some environments that use Programming Taskbook (see "Tools" or "Add-Ins" submenu of these environments).

The PT4Demo window is shown below. You can select a task group (use [Ctrl]+[<] and [Ctrl]+[>] for group selection) and a task number within the group (use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[<] and [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[>] for number selection).

If the "#" character is placed after the task name or the group name in the Task procedure (for instance, Begin1# or Begin#) then an html-page containing a description of the task or the group of tasks will be displayed. An html-page containing a description of the current task group may be also displayed by pressing the button or the [F2] key in the PT4Demo window.

The current programming language can be changed by means of a pop-up menu of the PT4Demo window.
