aboutForm

Type: Form

Availability: Read or write at any time

The aboutForm property of the Application class contains a reference to the form that is displayed when a user selects the About command from the Help menu; that is, the About form.

In the JADE development environment, specify the About form in the Define Application dialog About Form combo box. You can also specify the About form at run time, by assigning a persistent form reference. If no About form is assigned, the default About dialog is displayed.

When you use the JADE Painter menu designer to create a standard Help menu that contains an About menu item, JADE displays a message box at run time if you do not set the Application class aboutForm property. This message box displays the following information.

----------- Title:
"About Application:  application-name"

----------- Contents:
Application:   application-name

Release: application-release-property

Jade Version: nn.nn.nn

This information is displayed on the JADE Web Application monitor About form, for example.
