APPDISPLAY vs. XBPBROWSE

[Victorio]

Hi,
I am beginner on Xbase, then sorry my "beginners" questions.
I am programming lot of years with CA Clipper with procedural technology, then I do not understand some new techniques in xbase.

I make some menu, can open database with APPBROWSE, create buttons.

But I do not understand what is difference between APPBROWSE and XBPBROWSE ?

For example, I want open database, list records and put to display some buttons to open other Windows with detailed information from other databases in relation.

Sample in my clipper program is

SELECT 1
dbedit(3,1,20,78,pic,"fic",,hic)

where pic is FIELDS, HIC is header titles in table view, and FIC is function to other functions (by keys F1, F2,,, Enter, Esc, for print, summary, searching, sorting...

Everything I want in GUI

Have somebody simple sample aplication with menu, open database in Window and control with keys and mouse ??? I will be very happy to learn from it.

p.s. as Newbie it is hard to understand how GUI work. Express++ as 3-PP LIB can help you and Support from Roger is very good.

Victorio -

You will learn much from the samples and by running XDEMO.EXE.
