Question:
Does this software handle all types of subfiles?
Answer:
Yes. All types of subfiles are handled just like they function on the green-screen:
(a) Load all subfile option (loading all records at once). In this case, all records are sent to the browser at once. However, not all records are rendered at once, as I mentioned briefly in the demo. We virtually render the data as the user pages or scrolls through the data in the browser. This boosts the performance of the application as you’re not bogging down the browser with all this data on the screen.
(b) Paging through the records (loading a page at a time). Just like in green-screen subfiles, this is also supported in Profound UI. You can easily specify that you want to add a paging toolbar to the subfile grid (a flag in the properties dialog). Then, you specify the page up/down condition and responses.
(c) Expanding subfiles. You add a paging toolbar to the subfile grid and as you page, you’re adding records to the subfile grid’s memory. Thus, the records that have been displayed in the grid are requested once from the server, then stored in memory for access later.
(d) Profound UI also supports message subfiles for displaying errors.
