Help on DXL Scritping

Hi All,

I am very new to DXL script. I need to design a graphical user user interface for the End user and at the back end of the GUI I need to execute the DXL scripts to manipulate DOORS data and displays the results on the same GUI.

Please tell me how I can design a customized GUI for DOORS and embed the DXL scripts to meet the requirements.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

:)

Pankaj,

I would design the GUI on pen and paper, or even a mockup within VB. Then I would go through the DXL Reference Manual and examples in the library to see how GUI coding in DXL works.

Good luck.

I don't think it's clear exactly what it is that you want.
If I were asked for something like that by a DOORS user in my company, I'd ask, "Can this information be accessed by simply entering DOORS - using the DOORS client installed on your machine?" How does the data have to be manipulated?
What benefit does creating a separate GUI provide?

For instance, one alternative might be to write the scripts that manipulate DOORS data and have the results simply displayed in the DXL window where the script is being run, instead of a separate GUI...
