Description

The SET DESIGN command determines whether the Recital Information Center will initiate in Design Mode or not. The Recital Information Center is initiated with the INFO or DESIGN commands.

The Recital Information Center is a powerful work surface, from which any type of data may be accessed, viewed, modified and organized. With the Information Center you can organize files into catalogs which represent a single application, an application interface or a development project. Depending on your data requirements, the Information Center may serve as an application interface, or as a development tool.

Design Mode allows access to CREATE and MODIFY work surfaces as well as many other design tools. Design Mode may also be enabled with the DESIGN command. When in Design Mode, the Information Center displays a [DESIGN] key that is used to access development work surfaces. Design Mode also displays program files with an extension of ’.prg’ or ’.app’. When Design Mode is disabled, only program files with an extension of .app display, and files with an extension of .prg display only in catalogs to which they have been added.

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned, DESIGN is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned, DESIGN is set OFF. Note that <expL> should be enclosed in round brackets.
