About the Application painter
Views in the Application
painter
The Application painter has several views where you specify
properties for your application and how it behaves at start-up. Because
the Application painter is an environment for editing a nonvisual object
of type application, the Application painter looks like the User Object
painter for nonvisual 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.
Application painter layout
Most of your work in the Application painter is done in the
Properties view and the Script view to set application-level properties
and code application-level scripts. For information about specifying
properties, see Specifying application
properties. For information about coding in the Script view, see
Writing Scripts.
Inserting nonvisual
objects
You can automatically create nonvisual objects in an application
by inserting a nonvisual object in the Application object. You do this
if you want the services of a nonvisual object available to your
application. The nonvisual object you insert can be a custom class or
standard class user object.
You insert a nonvisual object in an Application object in the same
way you insert one in a user object. For more information, see Using class user objects.
