The user interface of the application is composed of five forms. The first form that is displayed is the MainForm. It allows the selection of the method used to display the Grid data of work orders. The BrowseWithManagerForm and the BrowseWithControlForm use different Datastream .NET Library components to provide virtually identical information. The LoginForm is used to gather the User ID and Password. The AboutForm is accessed by clicking F1 displays the application title and the copyright information.
The BrowseWithManagerForm uses the EWSGridDisplayManager component to manage various controls on the form to display the data from the work orders grid (WSJOBS).
To use this component, drag it from the Visual Studio Toolbox to a form in the designer. The component will appear in the tray at the bottom of the designer. After selecting the component in the tray, the properties will appear in the property editor. The GridName and FunctionName properties are required to get the data. See Using the EWSGridDisplayManager component.
EWSGridDisplayManager contains many additional properties for determining the appearance and behavior of the controls. See EWSGridDisplayManager.
The BrowseWithControlForm uses the EWSGridDisplayControl to display the data from the work orders grid (WSJOBS).
To use this component, drag it from the Visual Studio Toolbox to a form in the designer. Like other standard controls, it will appear on the form and can be sized and moved as desired. After selecting the control on the form, the properties will appear in the property editor. The GridName and FunctionName properties are required to get the data. See Using the EWSGridDisplayControl (see Using the EWSGridDisplayControl component) component (see Using the EWSGridDisplayControl component).
EWSGridDisplayControl contains many additional properties for determining the appearance and behavior of the controls. See EWSGridDisplayControl.
The Record View tab, which is found on both the BrowseWithManagerForm and the BrowseWithControlForm, displays the details of the currently selected work order. The next and previous buttons, found above the tabs, will display the next and previous work order details, respectively.
The Record View tab only displays the Work Order details that are included in the grid results. Another web service call would be required if additional information is desired.
