any.

Add components into an application

You can use the same components in more than one application by adding components
into an application.

For example, if you want to use the same graphic display in Application A and
Application B, create the display in Application A, then add the graphic display
component from Application A to Application B.

When you add the component into Application B, changes you make to the component in
Application B are not reflected in the component in Application A.

All the language strings associated with the component in Application A are copied into
Application B. For example, if you add an information message file for which three sets
of language strings have been defined, all three sets of strings are copied into
Application B, regardless of which languages have been set up for Application B. For
more information about using multiple languages, see Chapter 12.

To add a component from Application A into Application B

1. In Application B, right-click the type of editor that was used to create the desired

component.

For example, to add a graphic display component, right-click the Displays icon in the
Graphics folder.

2. Click Add Component Into Application.
