This chapter describes how to build a frame at runtime, illustrating the following concepts and procedures:

The example frame created in this chapter lets the user select a database table and displays the table columns as fields on a form. The DynamicFrame frame creates every aspect of the frame from scratch. The DynamicFrame frame also differs from the DynamicQuery frame in that it displays selected data in simple fields.

For a discussion of changing the behavior of a frame or field at runtime by changing the setting of frame modes and field biases, creating a composite field dynamically, and modifying a table field dynamically, see Creating Dynamic Frames (see Creating Dynamic Frames).

For a discussion of creating the lines in a line chart dynamically based on data in the database, see the Workbench User Guide.
