The table_editor Template
The table_editor frame template is an OpenROAD core library template that creates a standard dialog in tabular format containing a set of menu and toolbar buttons. It also includes the basic code to drive a database table-based display. It supports retrieval and sorting of all records in the database table that map to the specified user class, and adding, editing, and deleting these records.
By default, the actual code executed resides in the frame, enabling the frame to be used directly in any other application that accesses the same table, with no need for supporting components, files, or included applications.
Although the base functionality is reliable and sophisticated, developers may want to further customize the code. The code is simple and modular to make this process easy.
The template is primarily intended for specialist users who may need to inspect and alter the contents of particular database tables as part of a maintenance task, not for business users performing custom business-oriented tasks.
