Creating the Views
You will now create and customize the data entry views for the Order Entry sample application.
Before starting this section, we assume that you have worked through the Creating Your First Windows Application section of the Quick Start, up to and including Creating a Data Entry View. Having done this, you should be able to easily create the views in this section.
In Quick Start, you created the Customer Entry view using the Data Entry View Wizard. In this section, you are going to create one view within the Studio itself and the remaining views using the Data Entry View Wizard. While wizard-generated views are very easy to build, sometimes it makes sense to build views directly within the Studio, especially in the case of very complex views. This provides more flexibility and, once understood, is almost as easy to use.
The Order Entry view is the most complicated view in this tutorial. After the view is created with the wizard, you will need to add some custom code to various objects within the view. Step-by-step instructions for adding this custom code will be provided. An emphasis will be placed on why these changes are made and how they work.
It is not important that your views look exactly like the views shown. As you create these views, feel free to experiment to learn features of the development environment and the product that are not covered here.
