Insert Existing Frames
When you insert a frame that already exists in the application, you also insert all the frames below it in its tree.
Inserting frames is a convenient way to use a frame more than once in an application. For example, in the application flow diagram in the preceding figure, if you insert "viewcustomers," "custreport" is also inserted with it. However, you cannot insert a frame below itself in a tree, because this would result in a frame calling itself. Therefore you could not insert "addcustomers" as a child of "viewcustomers."
To insert an existing frame into the application flow diagram
1. Select the current frame adjacent to the frame to be inserted. See step 2 to determine which frame to choose as the current frame.
2. Select Insert from the menu.
Vision asks where to insert the frame relative to the current frame—Right, Left, or Down.
3. Move the cursor to the position you want and choose Select.
Vision displays a list of all frames in the application.
4. Move the cursor to the frame you want to insert and choose Select.
Vision displays a pop-up window that prompts you for menu item text.
5. You can enter the frame's original menu item text or specify new text. If you are inserting the frame at the same level as the existing frame, you must specify new text.
Vision inserts at the point you specified the frame and any lower-level frames of its tree.
