Generating an Empty JClient Panel

You can use the Create JClient Panel wizard or the Create JClient Empty Panel wizard to quickly create a single table data panel. While the Create JClient Panel wizard generates a complete data panel that you can add to a frame in your application, the JClient Empty Panel wizard contains no control bindings. Both wizards generate the code needed to initialize a JClient panel binding.

After you add the new panel class to your JClient project, you can modify the application code to display the panel from an existing panel.

To create a Business Components project:

1. Create a project for your Business Components.

   In order to use business components with your JClient forms, you must first create a project with a Business Components application module.

2. Compile the Business Components project.

• Creating a JClient frame using the JClient Empty Form wizard and adding it there
