You design dialog windows to give the end user functionality not directly related to data structure. A dialog can give the end user a platform to start on-line batch jobs from, or a catalog for easy access to application elements.
To design a dialog class:
1. | In the Windows Designer catalog, click on the Dialog tab page. |
2. | In the tree view, right-click on the Dialog node, or a another dialog class for which you wish to make a subclass, and select New from the resulting menu. |
| A new dialog subclass will be added to the catalog. |
3. | Right-click on the new subclass, and rename it as required |
4. | Make any required changes that are specific to this dialog class, for example: |
•Open the Property Inspector to inspect and/or change any of the dialog's properties. •Open the Controls tab page in the catalog , and insert controls into the dialog by dragging-and-dropping them onto the design view of the new dialog class.
