Step 2. Create a Component

FRM015A - Getting Started with Forms Programming Part A

In this step you will create a Form and open it in the LANSA editor.

1.  On the File menu, use the New button and select Form / Basic Form.

     The Create form dialog is displayed.

     Enter the following for the form:

a.  Name: iiiHelloWorld (where iii=your initials) *

b.  Description: Hello World

c.  Framework : Personnel & Payroll

d.  Enable for RDMLX (Yes)

     * If you are using a trial version of LANSA, use iii=DEM (DEMCOM01). If the form already exists, it needs to be deleted first.

e.  Click the Create button.

     When you create a component you should select a suitable Framework, such as Personnel & Payroll (HUMAN RESOURCES). Frameworks organise components into groups and one way to find a components on the Repository tab, is to look under Organizers / Frameworks / HUMAN RESOURCES. You can change a component's Framework property at a later stage.

2.  The form will open in the editor.
