Manage 2000 7.4 development now includes a wizard that is capable of generating a maintenance web function with single valued fields and scrolled sets somewhat akin to PWS.
And there were a LOT of bytes in that elephant!
But the payback is a reduction in cost of writing web clients for Manage 2000 maintenance and posting functions, which we will leverage during the remainder of the standard system development cycle. And it will produce further payback as a tool for custom development projects.
The Manage 2000 tooling for the faux scrolled sets leverages the ajax validation, last keys, and prompt stack features of the roiTextbox and provides smooth keyboard navigation.
It takes just a few moments to select fields from a business transaction object and generate a working web function, which can be further enhanced and polished in Visual Studio.
