The AppBuilder properties page allows you to configure the properties of your AppBuilder project in Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. This controls the behavior of the ABL GUI procedure (.w) files in the currently selected OpenEdge project.

You can access the AppBuilder page by right-clicking an OpenEdge project name in the Project Explorer view and choosing Properties from the context menu. Expand the Progress OpenEdge node in the tree view, and then click the AppBuilder node.

Note: If you chose the shared AVM for the currently selected project, most of the settings on this property page will be disabled. They cannot be changed on this page. You must go to the AppBuilder page under the Shared OpenEdge AVM preference page to view or to change these settings. Select Window > Preferences from the main menu bar. Then open Progress OpenEdge > Shared OpenEdge AVM > AppBuilder from the tree view. Also, be aware that settings changed on the Shared OpenEdge AVM/AppBuilder preference page affect all projects that use the shared AVM.
