Using Other Programs from the GUIBuilder Workbench (Superseded)
GUIBuilder has been superseded by the AppBuilder module in the BASIS IDE for BBj.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.
Description
Other programs can be invoked directly from the GUIBuilder Tools menu and toolbar: ResBuilder, DDBuilder, and a Visual PRO/5 console window. An external editor can also be invoked.
Invoking ResBuilder from GUIBuilder
To invoke ResBuilder, do one of the following:
-
On the Tools menu, select ResBuilder.
-
On the toolbar, click the ResBuilder button.
GUIBuilder is suspended, and ResBuilder starts. The resource file is closed so it can be used in ResBuilder.
Upon the close of ResBuilder, GUIBuilder becomes enabled, and checks the current .gbf file against its corresponding resource file.
Invoking DDBuilder from GUIBuilder
To invoke DDBuilder, do one of the following:
-
On the Tools menu, select DDBuilder.
-
On the toolbar, click the DDBuilder button.
DDBuilder is then started. You can toggle between GUIBuilder and DDBuilder via Ctrl+Tab.
Invoking a Visual PRO/5 Console Window in GUIBuilder
To invoke an additional Visual PRO/5 console window, do one of the following:
-
On the Tools menu, select Visual PRO/5.
-
On the toolbar, click the Visual PRO/5 button.
An additional Visual PRO/5 console window is then started. You can toggle between GUIBuilder and Visual Pro/5 via Ctrl+Tab.
