The sportsForm.cls file that you add to the project in this section is an ABL MDI (multiple document interface) Form that implements the Sports window in the application.
You can use an ABL MDI Form to create a parent form for one or more child forms. In the sample application the Sports window is an implementation of an ABL MDI Form that is the parent window for the Customer, Department, and Purchase Order windows.
The procedure for adding an ABL MDI Form to the project is similar to the procedure for adding an ABL Form to the project.
To add sportsForm.cls to the project:
1. Expand the openedge node in the SampleApp project.
2. Right-click on the ui node in the tutorial folder.
3. Select New > ABL MDI Form.
4. In the New ABL MDI Form wizard, enter sportsForm in the MDI Form name field.
5. Click Finish.
The ABL MDI form appears in the Visual Designer, as shown in the following illustration:
Notice that the ABL MDI form has a menu bar, a tool bar, and a status bar by default.
6. In the Properties view, set the Text property to Sports 2000.
