What is the purpose ObjectSight Tools Manager?
The ObjectSight Tools Manager is required if you plan to use the supplied object bound grid control (TosDbTopGrid), sequences or the built in user and system preferences table (osUserPrefs). The Tools Manager is essentially an ObjectSight application that uses supplied Business Objects to manage grid layouts, NextId sequences and system/user preferences. Grid layouts are maintained in several database tables to allow for easy runtime customization by both an administrator as well as end-users. ; the tools manager allows you to create these layouts from Business Objects defined within the Class Generator. The sequences are for NextID generation within an Insert operation. The system and user preferences are an excellent technique for easily defining and using system and user preferences within your applications.
