Editing User Interface and Feature Files

The user interface (UI) file contains code that configures the tool bar and menu system for a Results application. The feature file contains code that defines and loads the features of a Results application. These two files are crucial to the deployment process of a Results application.

Results creates and maintains the UI and feature files. The Query Customize Deployment menu option allows you to rename these files. The Query Customize Menu Layout and Query Customize Tool Bar Layout menu options allow you to edit the UI file, and the Query Customize Feature menu option allows you to interactively edit the feature file. You can add and remove only custom features, not Results features.

The only time you should edit the UI and feature files using an ASCII editor is during the deployment process. If you intend to alter the directory structure of a Results application, you must fix the pathnames of application files prior to starting Results. Edit only the pathnames of the integration procedures and new feature procedures specified in the feature file. In the UI file, edit only the pathnames of icon files associated with new features added to the Results tool bar.

For more information about UI and feature files, see Programming Results."
