VFW084 A Business Object Browser and Detailer

VLF Windows Application Development

VFW084 – A Business Object Browser and Detailer

Objectives

In this exercise you will create two reusable parts which work together.

  • The Business Object Browser displays a list skills for an employee selected in the instance list.
  • The Business Object Detailer displays details for an employee's skill record, selected in the Business Object Browser.

If developing the application using VL Frameworks, there are other ways this functionality could be achieved. For example the employees instance list could contain another level for employee skills. See the shipped HR Demo Application / Organisations for an example which illustrates this concept.

The objective for this exercise is to show how to design and build a simple application with two components which interact with each other.

To achieve these objectives you will complete the following steps:

Step 1. Create Employee Skills Command Handler

Step 2. Create Business Object Detailer.

Step 3. Complete the Skills Browser
