Most attributes of VisualAge parts have quick forms associated with them. In many cases, the fastest way to construct a user interface is to begin with a part's quick form. You can use quick forms of database query parts to display an entire table of information or just a single value:
Note: | If you change the settings of a query part, you need to generate the quick form again for the changes to take effect. |
When creating a quick form, VisualAge provides the connections necessary to keep the nonvisual part synchronized with the visual part. For a result table, VisualAge creates the following connections between your result table part and the container details part in the window:
This time, a text part, the quick form for a single column, appears. Notice the attribute-to-attribute connection that synchronizes the current row's DEPT with the text entry field's object. Also notice that a default label part is also provided to the left of the text part.
Your Composition Editor looks like this:
![]() | To get the quick form of the entire current row, select its self attribute. |
