Reusing an application
582 InfoMaker
16 If you want to omit a report from the list of reports in the generated
application so that users cannot run it as a standalone report, select the
report and then select the Hide Report check box. This is useful for reports
that have been included only to support a:
• DropDownDataWindow edit style
• Report added to a form
• Report nested in another report
17 When you have defined all the toolbar items, click Finish.
What happens
InfoMaker creates two files:
• The executable file with the name you supplied.
• An initialization file with the same name. For example, if you created the
executable file sales.exe, InfoMaker also creates a file named sales.ini.
The initialization file records which database is used by the executable
file.
For information about running an application, see “Running an application” on
page 583.
Identifying your
application
By default, InfoMaker includes brand information to identify your application
when a user displays the Help>About window. You can modify the
application’s initialization file to customize the information that identifies your
application.
For information, see “Identifying your application” on page 585.
An application
includes a query
governor
InfoMaker includes a query governor in an InfoMaker application
automatically. The query governor lets you specify the maximum number of
rows to be retrieved and the maximum time for retrieval.
For more information, see “Using the query governor in an application” on
page 587.
Reusing an application
When you initiate the creation of an application, InfoMaker checks to see
whether an application was previously created using the current library. If so,
InfoMaker retains the specifications for the most recent one. You can start
afresh or reuse the most recent application.
