Super Data Operations Manual

Del removes the item selected on the left.

Clear All empties the list of applied items. Bear in mind that any Object with a list of items in its definition will
require at least one item in the list. The user will receive an error message if OK is selected with no items applied to
the Selected List.

Multiple iterations of an item on the right may be placed in the list on the left, therefore when an item is Added or
Inserted into the Selected List it is not removed from the Available List. This is different from some list builder tools,
but the behavior is by design for our purposes. Unlike the Property Edit Sheet, List Builder does not apply changes
until the OK button is pressed, so the user may discard changes made to the list at any time by pressing Cancel to
abort the operation.

ODBC Edit Wizard

The ODBC Edit Wizard is invoked when a new ODBC table edit screen is created.

This dialog is designed to aid the user in creating the necessary screen items for a basic database table editing
screen.

DSN: Data Source Name created by the user in the ODBC Data Sources applet located in Control Panel.

Table: The list of tables is created after the DSN is selected and is extracted from the database. For dBase
databases, the tables will be the file names in the directory pointed to by the selected DSN. For Access or SQL, the
tables are internal to the database.

Available Columns: The fields in the table selected are listed in the Available Columns list. The double greater than
and less than buttons move all items in the direction indicated. The single, greater than and less than buttons send
only the selected item in the indicated direction. Each selected column will become an Auto Label with the
corresponding field name as a Simple Label on the newly created RealTime screen.
