Standard Library Tools

The Standard Library contains a set of tools that supplement those in the Configuration Toolbox.  This is a miscellaneous group of tools that share little in common other than that they can be used to add useful features to a page.

The standard library tools include the following. Each is described briefly here with a reference provided in each to find more detailed information.

    The Page Hotbox. Draws a navigation link to another page. If the destination page is parameterized, the hotbox may specify the tags to be used for those parameters.

    The Bitmap tool. Use this to insert an image on an application page. This is the same as the Bitmap button on the main toolbox menu. See: Inserting Images on a Page.

    The Edit.INI Var Field  Draws a text input box that can be linked to one of the variables in Config.INI.  Used to provide a way for operators to adjust a configuration variable.

    The Edit.INI Checkbox  Used to enable or disable a selected configuration variable whose value may be either 1 (checked) or 0 (unchecked).

    The Border tool.  Draws a rectangular border on a page.

    The Page Close Button. Allows operators to close a windowed page without needing to provide a full Windows™ title bar with page close buttons.  See: Closing Pages with a Button.
