You can create and modify Definition files a number of ways, including:
•Direct editing with editor of your choice
•Front-end tool, such as the Flynet Viewer Mapper
•Export from the Workflow Recording Viewer (through clipboard)
Definition files normally are inside the product's Definitions folder, but the location of definitions files can be changed in the Administrator's Settings Window, by changing the Definition Files Folder property.
In your application, you use the ScreenDefControl interface to manage the loading of a definitions file into your application's process.
Once loaded into an application process using the ScreenDefControl interface, the definitions in the file are accessed with the following FlyScreen Interfaces:
ScreenDef - Provides interfaces to all definition entities
| waitForScreen | Monitor screen changes and return when a screen (from a Screen definition) is displayed or timeout occurs |
| getScreenName | Returns the name of the currently displayed screen |
| getScreenDef | Returns a ScreenDef object for the currently displayed screen |
| mappedGet | Read a field through a named FieldMap.Field definition |
| mappedSet | Write a field through a named FieldMap.Field definition |
| mappedRowGet | Read a field through a FieldMap.Field definition, indexed for multirow screen |
| mappedRowSet | Write a field through a FieldMap.Field definition, indexed for multirow screen |
