\b\fs24 PFC Examples Application
\par \pard \plain\fs20 The PFC Examples Application demonstrates many features of the PowerBuildert Foundation Class Library.  It is a single document interface (SDI) application that showcases dozens of code examples, all utilizing PFC concrete and service class objects.  The PFC Examples Application can be used to:

\b\fs24 The Front End Launching Utility
\par \pard \plain\fs20 PFC is a class library with built in application framework mechanisms.  The PFC Examples Application was created as such to demonstrate not only the concrete and service class objects that make up the class library, but also to show how to utilize these objects in an interactive application environment.
\par 
\par Although it is not technically an example, the front end launching utility is probably the best example in the application. It is loaded with PFC feature implementations including the following:

\par \plain\f0\fs18 \'b7\tab \f3\fs20 centralizes access to the Debug Log Window and SQL Spy Window via the menu or by clicking the status bar bitmaps
\par \plain\f0\fs18 \'b7\tab \f3\fs20 uses the Most Recently Used service to keep track of the most recently opened examples
\par \plain\f0\fs18 \'b7\tab \f3\fs20 uses the split bar object in conjunction with the window resize service to balance the GUI presentation when the window is resized.

\par \pard \plain\fs20 The database for the PFC Examples Application is the Adaptive Server Anywhere database file called the EAS demo database.  It is installed in the \i Shared\'5cPowerBuilder\plain\fs20  directory when the PowerBuilder setup program is run.  All examples, including the front end launching utility, use this database to demonstrate PFC features.
