About the Window painter
Views in the Window
painter
You design windows in the Window painter. The Window painter has
several views where you specify how a window looks and how it behaves.
The Window painter looks similar to the User Object painter for visual
user objects and it has the same views. For details about the views, how
you use them, and how they are related, see Views in painters that edit objects.
Window painter workspace
The default layout for the Window painter workspace has two
stacked panes with the Script and Properties views at the top of the
stacks.
Most of your work in the Window painter is done in three
views:
-
The Layout view, where you design the appearance of the
window -
The Properties view, where you set window properties and
control properties -
The Script view, where you modify behavior by coding window
and control scripts
This illustration shows the Layout view at the top of one of the
stacks.
