The mvDesigner Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is an extended graphical development environment with Web deployment capability for Multivalue applications. mvDesigner has the best features of the three approaches to data management:
• Object-oriented
• Relational
• Multivalue
This diagram illustrates the functional architecture of the mvDesigner IDE and its interconnectivity with the database management system (DBMS).
mvDesigner is an application development environment used with the mvDesigner Client and Server.
FlashCONNECT includes the mvDesigner Application Program Interface (API) that allows BASIC applications to work with mvDesigner; either by driving mvDesigner applications from a database or by encapsulating FlashCONNECT business rules in mvDesigner applications.
mvDesigner is designed for FlashCONNECT and BASIC programmers to quickly create or convert BASIC applications using mvDesigner’s visual objects. Using mvDesigner, programmers can:
• Retrieve information sent by mvDesigner applications.
• Send data to the mvDesigner application.
• Change the form displayed by the mvDesigner application.
• Produce pop-up message boxes.
• Write persistent and non-persistent applications.
See the FlashCONNECT Programmer’s Online Reference for mvDesigner API documentation.
