Manage Modules
When you create a new application, a Module tab appears by default. You can add objects to this module to
create interface items. To create additional windows for your application, you can add and customize new
modules.
Add Objects to a Module
Follow these steps to add objects to a module:
1. In the Sources pane, select the type of object that you want to add.
2. Drag the object onto the Module1 tab (or double-click the object).
3. Select the object and update its properties in the Properties pane. See “Customize Object Properties” on
page 516 for details.
4. Add scripts to scriptable objects. See “Write Scripts” on page 518 for details.
5. (Optional) To prevent a module from launching when you run the application, select the module in the
Objects pane and deselect Auto Launch. (You might do this while testing one out of multiple modules.)
6. From the Application Builder red triangle menu, select Run Application to test your application.
Your application appears.

a hyphen and the application name. Change the title by modifying text in the module’s Title object
property.

Delete a Module
Select Format > Delete Module.
