There are some different ways to create graphics applications with Baan programming functions.

1. Objects

The low-level functions create.object(), update.object() and so on allow to "paint" on existing baan forms. You can use 4GL Programming here, but its a bit clumsy to use events on that objects.

The manual contains an Overview and a 3GL Example.

2. Generic Browser Framework

The Generic Browser Framework consists of a set of high-level functions such as gbf.init(), gbf.add.leaf() to create complete Baan Applications that look like the menu browser:

You need to program in 3GL. You need to #include <bic_gbf> (BaanERP) or "itggbfdefs" and "itggbfgprint" (Baan IV).

The manual contains an Overview and a 3GL Example.

3. Business Chart Manager

The Business Chart Manager consists of a set of high-level functions such as chm.open() to create complete Baan Applications. You need to program in 3GL. You need to #include <bic_chartman>.

The manual contains an Overview and a 3GL Example.

4. Structure Chart Manager

The Structure Chart Manager consists of a set of high-level functions such as create.node(), view.tree() to create complete Baan Applications. You need to program in 3GL. You need to #include <bic_eis>.

The manual contains an Overview and a 3GL Example.

5. Plan Chart Manager

The Plan Chart Manager consists of a set of high-level functions such as pcm.create(), pcm.refresh() to create complete Baan Applications. You need to program in 3GL. You need to #include <bic_pcm>.

The manual contains an Overview and a 3GL Example.
