About binding components to variables

Variables are mechanisms for storing data needed by WinStudio at run time. Variables have two important attributes that control the life span of their values and their visibility:

Variable attribute Description
Global A global variable is available to all forms. A nonglobal variable (also called a form variable) is available only to the form for which it was created.
Persistent      Persistent variables maintain their values across executions of the form (for form variables) or the client program (for global variables). Nonpersistent variables do not have to be explicitly created. WinStudio creates them automatically as they are referenced.
