SmartDataFields

A simple Fill–in is not necessarily the best representation for all data fields. Sometimes it would be very convenient to bring the power of ADM Smart technology down to the level of the individual data field in a SmartDataViewer. AppBuilder offers the SmartDataField object as a way for you to do that.

The SmartDataField instances you use in your applications are each based on a master object that you design for a particular purpose. Once you design a SmartDataField master, you can reuse it repeatedly whenever you need a SmartDataViewer field with that particular capability.

AppBuilder supports SmartDataFields only as replacement for simple SmartDataViewer fields, not for standalone placement. You can extend their applicability, if you wish, by writing the necessary supporting code.

For information about creating SmartDataField masters, see the Progress ADM 2 Guide .
