Overview

This book gives you the tools you need to write fully integrated Windows applications using Pascal and the Paradox Engine. After explaining how to access the Engine using the Pascal Database Framework, Signore, Vernick, and Stegman offer solutions and extensive source code examples for the three crucial database functions missing from the Engine itself: maintaining relational integrity, validity checking, and queries. Through the sample Paradox for Windows business application presented, you'll learn how to plan an object-oriented database application; create a user interface complete with drop-down and pop-up menus, scrolling list boxes, data field boxes, buttons, and more; integrate the Paradox Engine and the user interface by creating object classes in Pascal; write an object class that maintains the relational integrity of records in a multi-user environment; develop an object class for validity checking with Pascal's Object Windows; and create an object class that queries.

A guide to writing multiuser business applications with Turbo Pascal and Object Windows. Shows how to construct a complete user interface with ObjectWindows. Disk contains Pascal libraries that extend the power and functionality of the Paradox Engine.
