Specify or Modify Application Properties
After creating an application, you may want to modify some of its properties, such as specifying a starting frame after you have actually created several components or replacing the default icon with a custom graphic.
To specify or modify an application's properties
1. Click the Develop tab.
2. Select the application in the Applications portlet.
3. Click the Application Properties portlet tab.
4. Click File, Open.
The application properties are opened for editing.
5. Click the control button to the right of the Starting Component entry field to specify a starting component, or entry point, for the application, if desired.
The Select Starting Component dialog appears. This dialog lists all executable components defined to an application, including frames, frame templates, and procedures. (Other types of components, such as user classes and global variables, are not executable and, therefore, cannot be starting components.) For new applications, this dialog is initially empty.
Note:  If you do not specify a starting component for an application, the Select Starting Component dialog will prompt you for one when you run the application in Workbench.
6. Select the component and click OK.
The Select Starting Component dialog closes.
7. Set any remaining properties.
Note:  For more information about application properties, see Application Properties.
8. Click File, Save and Close to save and close the application properties.
