Controls

All controls from Team Developer are replicated in the PPJ Framework with the same name but with the "Sal" prefix.

In the table below you can find the list of all the supported equivalent controls:

Control Type	Class name in the PPJ Framework	Base .NET control
Data Field	SalDataField	TextBox
Multiline Field	SalMultilineField	TextBox
Combo Box	SalComboBox	ComboBox
List Box	SalListBox	ListBox
Check Box	SalCheckBox	CheckBox
Radio Button	SalRadioButton	RadioButton
Option Button	SalOptionButton	CheckBox
Pushbutton	SalPushbutton	Button
Child Table	SalTableWindow	UserControl
Column	SalTableColumn	Control
Picture	SalPicture	PictureBox
Horizontal Scroll Bar	SalHorizontalScrollBar	HScrollBar
Vertical Scroll Bar	SalVerticalScrollBar	VScrollBar
Custom Control	SalCustomControl	Control
ActiveX Control	SalActiveX	AxHost
Line	SalLine	Control
Frame	SalFrame	Control
Group Box	SalGroupBox	GroupBox
Background Text	SalBackgroundText	Label
Form Window	SalFormWindow SalRibbonBarForm	Form
MDI Window	SalMDIWindow SalRibbonBarMDI	Form
Table Window	SalFormTableWindow	Form
Dialog Box	SalDialogBox	Form

All the controls in the PPJ Framework are directly derived from the equivalent control in .NET: WinForms for desktop solutions, and Wisej for web solutions.

All PPJ controls implement one or more special interfaces used by the PPJ Framework to recognize PPJ controls and correctly redirect specialized functionality.

The table below lists all the control's interfaces:

Interface	Description
ISalWindow	All PPJ controls implement this interface.
ISalControl	Only controls that can hold a value implement this interface. Like SalRadioButton, SalDataField, SalVerticalScrollBar. Controls that cannot hold a value, like SalGroupBox or SalLine, do not implement this interface. These controls can also be bound in a SQL statement as bind variables.
ISalEditControl	Editable controls implement this interface.
ISalListControl	All list controls implement this interface. This is used to normalize also controls like VisOutlineListBox that should respond to SalList* functions as if they were list boxes.
ISalPictureControl	Controls that can show an image implement this interface.
ISalRadioButton	Controls that behave as a radio button implement this interface. Typically these are SalRadioButton, SalCheckBox and SalOptionButton.
ISalAccessory	Accessories controls like SalFormToolBar, SalFormStatusBar and SalFormClientArea implement this interface.

All the controls implementing ISalWindow expose a new event MessageActions. This is where all events that are compatible to the original Team Developer messages are dispatched to as events.
