Designing Filter and Command Handler Layouts
When you are implementing filters or command handlers you will need to understand how to design different form layouts. The recommended approach to designing forms is:
- Use the Code Assistant to generate the initial code for your filter or command handler. Alter this code as required to add any additional functionality to your filter or command handler.
- Next, compile your filter or command handler. This will cause a basic form layout to be created for you.
- Continue to use the basic form layout until you are satisfied that your filter or command handler is functionally complete.
- When you your filter or command handler is functionally complete, change the form layout to be exactly what you want. This is called fine detailing. Do this only when your filter or command handler is functionally complete.
How you fine detail your form layouts depends on the type application you are working with:
WINDOWS: Use the Visual LANSA Form Editor just as you would for any other Windows application.
WAM: Use the WAM Form Editor just as you would for any other WAM based application.
