This section describes how to change the names and titles of objects in your window.

To change the name and title of the default frame:

  1. Click on the frame, then change the value of the Object field in the AppBuilder main window to CustQuery:

    The name CustQuery is appropriate because the AppBuilder, by default, creates a database query for the fields in the frame, and gives it the same name as the frame. You will see just ahead what this default query does for you.

  2. If you want to select another object such as a field, click on it.
  3. To make a change to the window itself (for example, to edit its title), press CTRL+Click (that is, hold the CTRL key down and click the left mouse button).

    The AppBuilder has defined a default name for the window of C-Win, which you can see in the Object field. Change this to CustWin. As you see later, the object name is the name of the ABL variable that holds the handle or pointer to the window’s definition.

  4. Modify the title in the Title fill-in field in the AppBuilder main window, to change it from the default window title of <insert window title> to something meaningful, such as Customers and Orders. The text in the Title field is what displays in the user interface of the window.
