| 20080270985 | DATABASE APPLICATION ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION - A plurality of database application components available in a first components store is received. A plurality of pointers is created with each of the plurality of pointers referencing a selected object, such as the plurality of database application components or an existing pointer to one of the plurality of database application components. The plurality of pointers is collected into a reference group defining a plurality of selected objects included in a database application. In some examples, the database application components include a header, a footer, a control, a fragment, a table, a query, a report, a relation, a form, a conditional formatting statement, a programming component, a validation statement and a module. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090138845 | Logical Structure Design Surface - Embodiments are provided for displaying components for visually designing logical structures or macros. In one embodiment, a logical surface component is displayed which may include a design surface. The design surface may be utilized to display data which make up one or more macros. The design surface may be selected for receiving macro data. The received data, which represents a macro design, may then be displayed in the design surface on a display device. In another embodiment, controls for navigating within logical surface components utilized for designing macros may be displayed on a display device. A logical surface component which includes a hierarchical grouping of macro actions may be displayed. One more actions may be selected and an instruction may be received in a visual interface to move selected actions among the hierarchical grouping. In response to receiving the move instruction, the selected actions which were moved may be displayed. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090265610 | Rendering Markup Language Macro Data For Display In A Graphical User Interface - Embodiments are provided for rendering markup language data representing a macro as macro objects in a graphical user interface on a display device and for converting macro objects to markup language data. In one embodiment, markup language data representing the macro from a data source may be translated into macro objects for display in the graphical user interface in response to receiving a paste command in an application program. The macro objects visually represent the macro. The application program may automatically convert the markup language data into the macro objects. The macro objects are then automatically rendered in the graphical user interface. In another embodiment, a selection of macro objects displayed in the graphical user interface may be received via a copy command in the application program. In response to receiving the copy command, the application program may automatically convert the selected macro objects into markup language data. | 10-22-2009 |
