Generating and saving a DataWindow object
144 DataWindow .NET
Saving the DataWindow object
When you have created a DataWindow object, you should save it. The first
time you save it you give it a name. As you work, you should save your
DataWindow object frequently so that you do not lose changes.
❖ To save the DataWindow object:
1 Select File>Save from the menu bar.
If you have previously saved the DataWindow object, DataWindow
Designer saves the new version in the same library and returns you to the
DataWindow painter.
If you have not previously saved the DataWindow object, DataWindow
Designer displays the Save DataWindow dialog box.
2 (Optional) Enter comments in the Comments box to describe the
DataWindow object.
3 Enter a name for the DataWindow object in the DataWindows box.
4 Specify the library in which the DataWindow object is to be saved and
click OK.
Naming the DataWindow object
The DataWindow object name can be any valid DataWindow Designer
identifier up to 40 contiguous characters. A common convention is to prefix the
name of the DataWindow object with
d_.
For information about DataWindow Designer identifiers, see Appendix A,
“Identifiers.”
Modifying an existing DataWindow object
❖ To modify an existing DataWindow object:
1 Select File>Open from the menu bar.
The Open dialog displays.
2 Select the object type and the library.
DataWindow Designer lists the DataWindow objects in the current library.
