View Wizard 6
ctsite/vwlogo2.gif (4524 bytes)View Wizard facilitates access to on-demand custom list box formatting and browse sorting from within any application. This process is easily integrated into existing or new applications by simply dropping the View Wizard browse extension template onto any Clarion Browse. View Wizard supports development under Clarion versions 5.5, 6.1, and 6.2 using either the ABC or Clarion (legacy) template chains.
From the Developer's Perspective
  • Provide end-users with the ability to modify (and save) a browse's list box layout and/or sort order.
  • Saved views may be recalled via drop list controls, browse selection dialogs or programmatically.
  • Optionally enable the end-user with the ability to hide/show columns.
  • Designate columns that should be hidden by default but are available for display by the user.
  • Optionally "Lock" important columns so that the end user cannot remove them from the list.
  • Optionally create alternate column names for columns that have no heading or an abbreviated heading to allow for easy column management by the user.
  • Optionally enable user-definable dynamic sort orders....
  • Sort orders may be default, selected from existing keys, or completely ad-hoc (using fields of the end-user's choice). The dynamic sort order can be saved with the column arrangement to provide a set of views completely tailored by the end-user.
  • Optionally enable column header sorting (ascending/descending).
  • Optionally enable single click column header sorting (ascending/descending) with or without sort identifiers.
  • Optionally enable "smart" column width adjustments.
  • Can be setup to save style settings with the saved list format.
  • View Wizard shares a common interface with the NTS Wizard family of products.

Just a few simple steps are required to create a View Wizard browse...

View Wizard allows your end users to...
  • Use an intuitive wizard-driven interface to quickly create and save an unlimited number of custom list box formats with option sort orders.
  • Change column heading text.
  • Saved "views" may be dynamically selected at any time.
  • Select from an existing sort or create ad-hoc sorting on up to four levels.
  • Quickly hide an existing column or show a hidden column.
  • Change column order using drag and drop of columns on the list.
  • Use a single mouse click or column heading popup menu to quickly create a single field sort order (ascending or descending).

Select from the Following Options to Jump to a Topic...

Define Views Selection Dialog
The dialog allows the user to create, modify, delete or select a view for execution.

Column Layout
This dialog is the first of two potential steps and is composed of the fields available for the view column layout. From this dialog, the user selects the fields they wish to appear in the view.

Sort Order
This dialog is the second of two potential steps and is composed of three options which allow the user to determine the view's sort order. The user may use the browse's default sort order, choose an existing (predefined) key or create their own custom sort order.
