You can quickly develop
GUIs by building frames and adding ready-made objects (components)
to your frames. Building a frame-based application typically consists
of the following steps:
-
Create a frame (or a
set of frames) to serve as the user interface for your application.
-
Add components to each
frame by dragging a selected component from the Components window
and dropping it onto the frame.
-
Modify the properties
of each component with the
Properties window.
-
Add frame SCL as needed
to incorporate the necessary logic or business rules behind the application.
-
Save, compile, and test
the frame or frames.
Note: SAS/AF software supports a native look and feel for controls
(visual components) on a frame. This capability enables you to take
advantage of best practices for user interface design for those platforms
on which you implement your application.
