Application Development
Environment — Getting Started
Assembly Phase
After building the SmartObjects masters, you are ready to begin the assembly phase. In this phase, you create a SmartWindow, insert instances of the SmartObjects that you built, and link them to produce a finished, working copy of the application screen.
The rest of this chapter includes exercises for creating a new SmartDataObject, SmartDataViewer, and SmartDataBrowser using prefabricated SmartObject templates. If you have not already read "Working With the Sample Application" and "Assembling the Order Tracking System," you might want to read these chapters before you continue with this chapter. Reading these chapters gives you an understanding of how SmartObjects are used in building applications and should help prepare you for the exercises described in this chapter.
NOTE: Before you begin these exercises, you must be connected to your copy of the Sports2000 database in your working directory. If you need instructions on connecting to the database, see Working With the Sample Application."
