Creating and Populating a Simple SmartContainer
The Simple SmartContainer is supplied as a template. To create a complete object, follow these steps in AppBuilder:
CAUTION: If you place an object that has a visible representation at run time, the behavior of your Simple SmartContainer module will be undefined.
- Choose File
New. Choose Simple Smart Container from the dialog box that appears:
![]()
- The container appears. Note that objects of this type do not have a Frame element, so you will not see a grid even if you have grid visibility turned on in your Preferences:
![]()
- Reduce the size of the container workspace, if desired. Begin completing your new module by adding a non-visible SmartObject to the container. Shown here is a SmartDataObject:
![]()
- Add additional objects as desired to complete the module. Shown here is a SmartB2BObject:
![]()
As you add such additional objects, Advisors might appear and offer to create SmartLinks for you. Examine each offer and accept those that seem appropriate.
- Configure each object you employ in the module.
- Open a Section Editor window, if necessary, and add code to complete the module.
- When you have completed the module, save your work using a distinctive filename. Note that Simple SmartContainer filenames conventionally begin with
c.
You now have a module you can use in your application.
