Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
AppBuilder

Creating and populating a Simple SmartContainer

The Simple SmartContainer is supplied as a template.

To create a complete object in AppBuilder:

Choose File New. Choose Simple Smart Container from the dialog box that appears:



The container appears. Note that objects of this type do not have a frame element, so you will not see a grid even if you have grid visibility turned on in your Preferences:



Reduce the size of the container workspace, if desired. Begin completing your new module by adding a non-visible SmartObject to the container. Shown here is a SmartDataObject:

Caution: If you place an object that has a visible representation at run time, the behavior of your simple SmartContainer module will be undefined.

Add additional objects as desired to complete the module. Shown here is a SmartB2BObject:



As you add such additional objects, Advisors might appear and offer to create SmartLinks for you. Examine each offer and accept those that seem appropriate.

Configure each object you employ in the module.
Open a Section Editor, if necessary, and add code to complete the module.
When you have completed the module, save your work using a distinctive filename. Note that simple SmartContainer filenames conventionally begin with c.

You now have a module you can use in your application.
