Dynamic Objects vs. Hide on Startup

Emmitt Dove: Dynamic Objects vs. Hide on Startup

In this interesting How-to presentation, Emmitt illustrated the use of dynamic objects. The ability to create and delete form objects is yet another powerful programming tool in the R:BASE Developer’s toolbox.

Dynamic objects are created and deleted with the CREATEOBJECT and DELETEOBJECT commands. These commands are used in conjunction with the use of component IDs.

Emmitt’s presentation illustrated a technique that can be used to logically determine whether or not to display a form on startup. This concept and technique can be applied to a variety of situations and applications.

  1. Great, well organized presentation, as always, Emmitt.

    People should also know that in the goody bag all attendees received, men got black name-tag lanyards, and women received pink ones, purchased by RBTI with a donation to the Susan G. Komen foundation.

    Emmitt asked if he could have a pink one, rather than the black one, in part because his wife has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. He says her prognosis is good. We all send out our best wishes for the Doves.
