V8 customized SmartContainer Templates
DRAFT COPY - Currently under review and edit.
INTRODUCTION:
=============
Customers who developed their own Smart Container templates in V8 like
Smart Window), may experience that if this template is opened in V9
Application Builder, Paging is not enabled - they do not see "Page 0"
text on a status line of AppBuilder main window and also Procedure
Settings dialog box does not show a button with pages.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
==========================
To continue developing with V8 templates and ADM in V9 Appbuilder. In
V8, if the object type wasn't recognized, a default set of Smart Links
was supplied by UIB and this included PAGE-TARGET. In V9 the links
are not added automatically.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
To enable paging open the template in a procedure editor and find a
procedure settings section, there is a line that looks like:
Allow: Basic,Browse,DB-Fields,Smart,Window,Query
Right after it add a line that looks like:
Container Links: Record-Source,Record-Target,Navigation-Source,
Navigation-Target,TableIO-Source,TableIO-Targert,Page-Target
This solves the problem.
