Navigation:  Application Generator >====== Embedded Source Dialog ====== Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This dialog allows you to access Embed points from the Procedure Properties dialog.

By adding embedded source code to a procedure, you gain powerful customization capability. You can specify or create code to execute at any defined point in the source code. You can write your own code, or use a code template to write the code for you. The Application Generator adds your code to the code it generates, at precisely the point at which you specify.

This dialog lists all the available embed points, as defined by the procedure template.
