Preparing GUIBuilder Programs for End Users (Superseded)
GUIBuilder has been superseded by the AppBuilder module in the BASIS IDE for BBj. Includes support for both the READRECORD Event Queue and PROCESS_EVENTS/CALLBACK paradigm. Integrates tightly with FormBuilder, the BBj replacement for ResBuilder.
Note the program and resource file are required for each generated program; also ship the .gbf files if you intend to do on-site development, in which case, GUIBuilder must be installed at the end user site. The _qres program must always exist on the end user site.
