Introduction

You can quickly develop graphical user interfaces by building frames and adding ready-made objects (components) to your frames. Building a frame-based application typically consists of the following steps:

1. Create a frame (or a set of frames) to serve as the user interface for your application.

2. Add components to each frame by dragging a selected component from the Components window and dropping it onto the frame.

3. Modify the properties of each component with the Properties window.

4. Add frame SCL as needed to incorporate the necessary logic or business rules behind the application.

5. 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.
