Creating and editing viewers
The Progress Dynamics framework provides a full-featured dynamic viewer. At the same time, the viewer is typically the object type you customize most frequently in an application, both to give it a specific layout (which might include rectangles, buttons, and other additional visual objects), and to customize its behavior (to provide specific LEAVE triggers or other UI events). The dynamic viewer as an object supports all of these things: precise layout of fields, visualization types for fields, UI events and trigger code to respond to them, rectangles, buttons, and more. You can adjust the attributes that control these features in the DataField Maintenance tool.
Dynamic viewers can be created and edited in the AppBuilder.
When you build a dynamic viewer, you have full control over placement of visual objects, defining events and trigger code to handle them, adding procedures to the file, etc. Create static viewers in Progress Dynamics using the same technique you use to create them in standard OpenEdgeŽ: Select File
New Static SmartDataViewer and follow the wizard’s instructions.
