580 InfoMaker
12 Select the reports, forms, and pipelines you want to package in the
application.
13 Click Next.
The Executable Items dialog box displays, listing all reports, forms, and
pipelines you have selected for the executable file.
In the Executable Items dialog box, you can define the properties of a
toolbar button for any of the items in the executable. Then in the
application you can run the report, form, or pipeline by simply clicking the
toolbar button.
By default, InfoMaker creates an Objects menu in the application that lists
all reports, forms, and pipelines. If you do not specify button text for an
object, the object name displays in the Objects menu.
InfoMaker also creates a File menu in the application. You can select
File>Open Form, File>Open Report, or File>Open Pipeline and then
select a form, report, or pipeline from the list that displays.
You can choose from two styles for menus and toolbars. The traditional
style is similar to the style used in Microsoft Office 2000, and the
contemporary style is similar to the style used in Microsoft Office 2003.
The contemporary style is shown in the illustration in “What happens
when you run an application” on page 584.
14 Select the menu and toolbar style you want to use in your application.
