Developing Applications with the Application Framework

The Application Framework is designed to include all required, and many optional, elements that make an application effective and pleasurable to use. Though the framework itself provides a great deal of flexibility and power to create applications the way that works best for you, this section discusses the ways using the Application wizard and the Application builder ease your application development.

In This Section

  • User Interface Reference
    User interface (UI) reference topics explain the options that appear on various dialog boxes, windows, and other user interfaces. These types of topics generally appear when you press F1 in a dialog box or window.
  • Builders
    Builders are tools that aid in setting properties of controls on a form. Unlike wizards, builders are reentrant, so you can reopen a builder on a particular control repeatedly.
  • Windows
    Understand the options that appear on various dialog boxes, windows, and other user interfaces.
  • Dialog Boxes
    This section explains the options that appear on various dialog boxes.
  • Designers
    Designers make it possible for you to design the windows, dialog boxes, and components in your application visually.
  • Wizards
    Microsoft® Visual FoxPro® ships with several wizards. Wizards are interactive programs that help you quickly accomplish common tasks such as creating forms, formatting reports, setting up queries, importing and upsizing data, graphing, creating mail merge output, generating pivot tables, creating crosstab reports, and publishing in HTML format for the Web.
