Using wizards

After you have created a workspace, you can add new or existing targets to it. The first step in building a new PocketBuilder target is to use a Target wizard to create the new target and name it.

About wizards

Wizards simplify the creation of applications and objects. Using your specifications, wizards can create multiple objects and in some cases automatically generate complex code that you can modify as needed. In most wizards, the first page explains what the wizard builds. If you need help with a field on a wizard page, place the cursor in that field and press F1.

You start wizards from the New dialog box, but not all the icons in the New dialog box represent wizards. For example, the Application icon on the Project page of the New dialog box opens the Project painter, where you can enter required values without being prompted by the Application Project wizard.

The PocketPC and SmartPhone Application Creation wizards on the Target page of the New dialog box can launch the Connection Object wizard and the Application project wizard. If you make selections to create a connection object and a project in one of the Application Creation wizards, the Connection Object and Application project wizards are started automatically.

You can also complete the Application Creation wizards without launching secondary wizards. If your application requires a SQL connection object, you can create one later with the Connection Object wizard on the PBObjects page of the New dialog box. You can create a project later with the Application wizard on the Project page of the New dialog box.
