Defining Applets

Applets provide viewing, entry, modification, and navigation capabilities for data in one business component.

Applets appear as part of a view and are typically implemented as a list table or data entry form. Applets can be populated with standard controls like buttons, text boxes, check boxes, and custom controls. Applets can also include ActiveX controls, which are externally created program units that can interact with the applet through property settings, methods, and events.

Some applets perform specialized roles as dialog boxes, charts, and trees. For more information about applet styles and types, see Logical User Interface Objects Layer.

Figure 160 shows the object definition for a list applet called Opportunity.

Typically it is easier to modify an existing applet than create a new one. However, in some cases it may be necessary to add a new applet using the steps shown in Figure 161.
