Graphical mode rendering

Genero supports the graphical user interface (GUI) to provide a real graphical look and feel, for desktop workstation, web browsers and mobile front-end platforms.

When set to 1, the FGLGUI environment variable defines the graphical mode usage. This is the default. In graphical mode, the application forms are displayed on the front-end workstation identified with the FGLSERVER environment variable. Application forms will be rendered with real graphical widgets providing a nice look-and-feel as shown.

To simplify migration from text mode to graphical mode with legacy applications, you can use the traditional GUI mode option to render application windows in a single front end GUI window.
