Either when you're testing a new application or using an existing one, you might discover features that you want to change. You can use the Application Designer to change your application in the same way that you created it.
To modify an application:
| 1. | In the Database Explorer, click the "Applications" option. You'll see SkyWriteApp listed. |
| 2. | Highlight the application. |
| 3. | Click the "Design Application" option. |
Now, make the following changes.
To add a image background:
In the Application Designer, you should be located at the "Application Main Window" tab
| 1. | Select the "Load Image..." button from the "Image" panel. |
You will prompted to navigate for an image. Navigate to the folder: C:\RBTI\RBG11\Tutorial
| 2. | Select the "SKYWRITE.jpg" file, and choose the "Open" button. |
| 3. | Place a check in the "Show Image" check box. |
The image will be displayed.
| 4. | Make sure the "Image Style" specified is "Center". |
Next, add an icon for the application caption bar.
To add an icon:
| 1. | In the Application Designer, select the "Properties" tab |
| 2. | Choose the "Load Icon" button. |
You will prompted to navigate for an icon image. If you have an icon image file on your computer, navigate to that location and press the "Open" button. If not, press "Cancel".
Without an icon file loaded, the R:BASE 11 icon will be displayed.
Now, increase the application window size.
To increase the application window:
In the Application Designer, you should be located at the "Properties" tab
| 1. | Change the "Width:" value to 800. |
| 2. | Change the "Height:" value to 600. |
Now save all of the changes.
| 3. | Choose File: Save from the menu bar. |
You may want to run the application to test any new changes.
| 4. | Close the Application Designer by choosing File: Close from the menu bar. |
