Menu Items

If the screen editor is active this main menu item will be displayed. If you don't have an active screen form then none of the sub-options will be available.

Add File Fields to Screen

This will give you the opportunity to choose a FD from the data dictionary, choose any or all of the fields, and have those fields placed on the active screen. All appropriate information about those fields is added including the type of object placed, the FieldName property, the name of the object itself, and, except in the case of TTASCheckBox, a TLabel object that is displayed immediately to the left of the entry object. You can either add the fields one at a time by clicking the left mouse button where you want the object to appear, or click the right mouse button and all the fields will be added at once.

Add Grid and Columns to Screen

This will also give you the opportunity to choose a FD from the data dictionary, choose any or all of the fields, and create a new TTASDataGrid with the fields you have chosen added as Columns.

Create Basic Source File

If the screen form has been saved to disk (so that it has an actual name and not New Screen), and there is no source file with the same name, you will be given the option to create a source file for this screen. If you choose this option a basic SRC file will be created and loaded in the Source Editor. As part of this source file will be a title line at the top, the standard #WinForm command line and three proto-events, for OpenFiles, Start and Close.
