Wizard Templates.
What are templates, why are they so handy and
how do we use them. Templates let us create flexibility and
are used by many products in many different ways. Expert Wizard
Templates make it easy to create reports, database browse,
windows, controls and even lists.
The Expert Report Wizard templates can be customised
by users , professionals, home hobbists or a template product
teams rolling out a set of office database wizards. The report
wizard that creates the report is itself a template with simple
statements so it to can be customised to provide maximum flexibility.
A Template is simple a text file with some simple
statements in it that can be recognised by the Expert Wizard
program. The Expert Wizard processes the statements and runs
them as part of itself. Expert Wizard is then configured by
the statements and runs as a standard windows program. Change
the statements and the Expert Wizard will change what it does.
You can also have more the one Wizard running at time.
