Overview of objects in the Classic API

Object map

If you are using the Classic API, objects in FORMS are grouped in the following groups. Click here to see the objects in the new COM API.

The Application object

First we have the Application object. Not all methods on the Application object are available in all modules.

Definition objects

In FORMS there are several objects that you might consider as templates for the runtime objects:

FieldDef— corresponds to field definitions

FormDef— corresponds to form definitions

ScannerSettings — corresponds to scanner settings

SetDef — corresponds to set definitions

TransField — corresponds to transaction fields

Runtime objects

When you run the different modules, runtime objects are created during the process. Consider the Field, Form, and Set objects as instances of the corresponding definition object. Other objects:
