The Design Features


Between the Objects and Properties area and the Layout view are six buttons. These are the Design Feature buttons. These buttons control what function the window to the right is currently displaying. JDesignerPro does not use multiple windows between which you click to develop your application. It uses the one main window for all design functions. You will find this to be an easy, logical and uncluttered way to develop.

The natural progression for using these buttons is to go left to right. First, add a component. If it is a data component, the Data Wizard will appear automatically. Then to link this component to other components and events, you move to the third button, the Interaction Manager. The fourth button, Source Editor, gives you access to the source window, save and compile functions while the fifth and sixth are API and Help documents in HTML.
