Features
Features are the basic units of functionality in Results. While Results supplies a robust set of features, you might want to define your own features to extend the capabilities of Results.
A Results feature consists of two basic components: a feature procedure and definition. A feature procedure is a Progress procedure that implements the functionality of a feature. A feature definition describes a feature procedure and information about how the feature procedure is integrated into Results.
There are four basic steps for developing a new feature in Results:
- Create a feature procedure. See the "Feature Procedures" section for the basic requirements for a feature procedure.
- Define the feature in the Results product using the Feature Editor. See the "Feature Editor" section for information about how to create a feature definition in Results.
- If necessary, use the Menu Editor to integrate the feature into the Results menu bar. See the "Menu Editor" section for information about how to integrate a feature into the Results menu system.
- If necessary, use the Tool Bar Editor to integrate the feature into the Results tool bar. See the "Tool Bar Editor" section for information about how to integrate a feature into the Results toolbar.
See "Results Features," for more information about Results features. The "Feature and Interface Management" section describes how you can manage the integration of features and interface changes on a product-wide basis.
