<h2>User Interface Manager (UIM) APIs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The user interface manager (UIM) APIs handle various aspects of the user
|
|
interface, allowing your applications to display help, display a command line
|
|
window, convert date and time formats, control keyboard buffering, display
|
|
screens and pop-up windows, and to build screens.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>These APIs allow an application developer to manipulate the user interface.
|
|
These APIs are used in combination with variables, lists, and panel definitions
|
|
in a panel group object. For more information on creating panel group objects,
|
|
see the
|
|
<a href="../books/sc415715.pdf" target="_blank">Application Display Programming</a>
|
|
<img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF"> book.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The UIM APIs perform a wide variety of tasks in the following
|
|
categories:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
