Create form from database

Create a form for your project.

  1. Expand the Applicationflow node and open the appflow.4ba file. This is your Business Application Diagram and shows the flow of your program. You will see there is one Program entity (main) and one Form (form) entity.
  2. Right-click on the Form entity and select Implement CRUD Form from Database to generate a form for the database table that you wish to access. Select all the fields in your table and transfer this selection to the Selected Fields list, which lists the desired fields for your form. Select Finish to accept the defaults from the rest of the wizard prompts. Per the default, this form will be organized in a Grid layout.
  3. Save your form to your physical project directory (for example D:\quickstart) and in the Entities node of the project.
  4. Return to the appflow.4ba file. Right-click on the Program entity (main) and select Implement Program.
  5. Save the program to your physical project directory (for example D:\quickstart) and in the Application program node.
  6. Save the changes to your project.
