Creating a screen with Screen Builder is easy. Simply drag the required control
from the Toolbox onto the screen design area. The toolbox contains numerous different
controls for your screen design requirements. Some are database specific and can
be linked simply to a database.
Each control has a list of properties that can be easily changed to alter the appearance
or behaviour of the selected control. A control can be dynamically resized or repositioned
by simply using the mouse.

Connecting to a database is achieved by using Microsoft's ADO or ODBC. The data
connection tab on the toolbox allows multiple data connections to be defined and
all datasets to be used in the screen. The database specific controls can then be
linked up to the defined datasets. The datasets can also be defined as linked for
master-detail relationships. |

Deploying a Screen - Using The Screen
Runner
The runner application is designed for distribution to end users who can run a screen
but can not change the screen design in any way. This consists of a small application
which lists the screens. The user can then select the desired screen to run.
