Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
ADM Reference

ADM2 SmartObject API Reference

The behavior of each type of Progress® SmartObject™ is defined by a set of methods (procedures and functions) based on one or more classes in super-procedure files. Super-procedure files are comparable to dynamically-linked run-time libraries in that they are loaded into memory as required by an application, and typically make their internal routines available to callers during a session. This reference describes the ADM2 methods and properties supplied in the current release of OpenEdge™.

For information about the ADM2 and creating or modifying SmartObjects, see the OpenEdge Development: ADM and SmartObjects . For information about creating applications with SmartObjects, see the OpenEdge Development: AppBuilder . For information about SmartObjects in a Progress Dynamics™ environment, see OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Advanced Development and OpenEdge Development: Progress Dynamics Basic Development .
