Startup Methods

Use this form to specify startup methods for the application. Startup methods are IDO methods executed after the user clicks OK on the logon dialog and before the user has performed any other operation. Typically, startup methods set values of WinStudio global variables with information queried from the application database. Subsequent form processing does not require additional round trips to the server to retrieve the values.

If any of the methods returns a failure code, subsequent methods are still executed.

To use the startup-methods mechanism, first define application-specific methods on one or more IDOs. In the Startup Methods form, specify the methods and parameters. When the application starts, values of output parameters from the methods are assigned to WinStudio global variables.

Startup method information is maintained in the application database.
