Creating Windows 

Use

Windows are output areas for all output data. You can set the size and position of a window graphically in the Form Painter. There are main windows and subwindows. The most important difference is that the output in a main window can cover several pages.

After you created a form, a main window already exists on the first page.

Prerequisites

A page exists on which you want to create a window.

Procedure

  1. Open the context menu for an existing page node and choose Create ® Window.
  2. If you create the window in the Form Painter using the context menu, you can use the mouse to position it immediately.

  3. Enter a unique name for the node and a description (for example, booked flights).
  4. On the General Attributes tab indicate whether the window is a Main window. If you want to create a subwindow, leave the checkbox empty.
  5. For each page you can indicate only one main window.

  6. The Position and Size values in the Output options box correspond to the position in the Form Painter. If you want to, maintain other attributes.

Result

You can see the window in the Form Painter and in the tree structure. You can always change the specification of the main window or subwindow.
