Painter Toolbar Button

Use the Painter button from the Browser toolbar to create and maintain screen and printer forms for runtime JADE applications.

The Painter is a graphical user interface (GUI) painter that supports bitmaps, list boxes, button controls, and so on. For more details, see Chapter 5.

Only one Painter window for the current work session can be open at any time. However, you can have concurrent open forms for different schemas in the Painter window, if required.

A form is a window that acts as a container for controls that display information and that permit user input and interaction. Forms have properties that determine aspects of their appearance (for example, position, size, or color) and aspects of their behavior (for example, whether they can be resized).

To quickly access a specific form in Painter from the Class Browser, simply select the appropriate form in the Class List and then right-click on the Painter toolbar button.
