Simple SmartObjects
The template for the simple SmartObject is a starting point for creating new visual SmartObjects. Figure 2–17 shows how an unmodified simple SmartObject appears.
The simple SmartObject is intended primarily as a container for basic objects (Progress 4GL widgets) and 4GL code; however, you also can build a new SmartObject from its template instead of basing it on another SmartObject template (for example, the SmartDataViewer template).
The simple SmartObject template includes a single primary include file, src/adm2/smart.i. This is the library common to all SmartObjects. It specifies no Advisor-supported SmartLinks. No instance properties are associated with the simple SmartObject template. You add include files, supported SmartLinks, and instance properties as needed when you create a new SmartObject template based on the basic SmartObject.
