The Designer User's Guide contains complete information about using the Designer to create data forms, menus, and windows. In addition, it describes the Designer utilites: the Main Generator, the Source Code Generator, the System Administrator, and the Report Generator.
A number of tutorial programs are available that demonstrate basic Vermont Views features. In most cases, there are two tutorials for the same task. The tutorial that begins with the letter "d" illustrates how to do the task using forms, menus, and windows you create in the Designer. The other tutorial illustrates how to do the same task with forms, menus, and windows you create yourself in code. A complete listing can be found in the read_me.tut file in the tutorial directory.
The code in des_mndata.c in the tutorial directory shows an example of how to process a menu system with associated data forms. This menu system is the same as the menu system shown in the previous example, except that one top-level menu field is added that calls a sub-menu. Each field of that sub-menu processes a data form.
Vermont Views provides a libary of template Designer forms that you can use intact in your application or modify to suit your special needs. The template forms implement features that are common to many applications, for example, information, warning, and action message boxes. A complete listing can be found in the read_me.des file in the template directory.
