Update eGolfer

Refer to the example Web pages shown earlier and familiarize yourself with the Update eGolfer Web page. As you can have noticed, it bears a remarkable resemblance to the eGolf Registration dialog. In fact, the two dialogs are so similar; we will simply copy the Registration dialog to the Update dialog, and then make necessary changes.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Navigation Diagram, double-click eGolf Services Registration to open the dialog design. We want to copy everything except for the banner at the top. To do this, click-and-drag from the top-left corner directly below the banner to the bottom-right corner of the dialog. This places the rubber band around all the objects on the dialog.
  2. From the Menu Bar select Edit, and then select Copy…. Notice that the subsequent Window Copy dialog is divided into two sections. The top has the Source group box giving you information about the window/dialog selected for copy, while the bottom has the Destination group box, which gives you information about the destination window/dialog. Under the Controls: drop-down, the items currently selected for copying are listed.
  3. To select a destination dialog, select the Destination… push button. In the Window Copy - Destination Selection dialog, select EGOLFER-HOME Dialog—Box Update eGolfer and select the OK push button. In the Window Copy dialog select Copy and select Yes to confirm. Make sure you are copying to UPDATE EGOLFER DB, then acknowledge the Note by selecting OK. Close the Window Copy dialog.
  4. In the Navigation Diagram, double-click Update eGolfer to open it is dialog design. The controls were copied, but the dialog has not been resized. Had we copied the entire dialog, however, the dialog would have been resized.

    Use the eGolf Services Registration dialog to resize the Update eGolfer dialog. It will work best if you drag the top and right side of the Update eGolfer dialog.

  5. Gain focus on the eGolf Services Registration dialog design and select the Close Window icon to close it.
