Form driven program applications
These type of applications are a step up from the simplest
type. In this case, a little bit of code may start up the
application, but then the code "stops" or ENDs and
then the user start interacting with the forms. During the
form interaction, things that are done on the form causes
Superbase to start executing code and running it.
Many applications of small to medium complexity are built
this way, because it is a natural extension of the simple
form driven applications. Howerver, for maintenance, they
are a headache, because you must constantly look both at the
form, and the program to determine where one side "takes
over" from the other.
Multiple window applications under version 3 using this style
of programming are easy to build and understand, mainly because
Superbase does all the hard work of handling data entry and
database consistancy.
