#APPLICATION( description ) [, HLP( helpid ) ] [ APPLICATION( [ child(chain) ]
#APPLICATION | Begins source generation control section. |
description | A string constant describing the application section. |
HLP | Specifies on-line help is available. |
helpid | A string constant containing the identifier to access the Help system. This may be either a Help keyword or “context string.” |
APPLICATION | Tells the Application Generator to automatically place the named) child template on every procedure. |
child(chain) | The name of a #EXTENSION with the PROCEDURE attribute to automatically populate into every generated procedure when the #EXTENSION with the APPLICATION attribute is populated. |
The #APPLICATION statement marks the beginning of a source generation control section. The section is terminated by the next Template Code Section (#PROGRAM, #MODULE, #PROCEDURE, #CONTROL, #CODE, #EXTENSION, #UTILITY, or #GROUP) statement. The Template statements contained in this section control the source generation process. Only one #APPLICATION section is allowed in a single Template set. Actual source generation is done by the #GENERATE statement.
Any User-defined symbols defined in the #APPLICATION section are available for use in any Template Code Section that is generated. Any prompts in this section are placed on the Global Properties window and have global scope.
Example:
#APPLICATION('Example Application Section') #!Generate entire application
#PROMPT('Enable &Shared Files',CHECK),%SharedFiles
#PROMPT('Close Unused &Files',CHECK),%CloseFiles,DEFAULT(1)
#BUTTON('.INI File Settings')
#PROMPT('Use .INI file',CHECK),%INIActive,DEFAULT(1)
#ENABLE(%INIActive)
#PROMPT('.INI File to use',DROP,'Program Name.INI|Other'),%INIFile
#ENABLE(%INIFile='Other')
#PROMPT('File Name',@S40),%ININame
#ENDENABLE
#PROMPT('Save Window Locations',CHECK),%INISaveWindow,DEFAULT(1)
#ENDENABLE
#ENDBUTTON
