  • Using the INFO(3,6) to identify the client
  • Using BBjSysGui constants with the BBj message box
  • Specifying custom DWC modes with the BBj message box
  • Running a complete graphical BBj app in the thin client (GUI), the Browser User Interface (BUI), and the Dynamic Web Client (DWC)
  • Changing the window to use flow layout, ignoring the x, y, width, and height parameters, and then applying a CSS Grid layout strategy
  • Setting attributes on a BBjButton to affect its size and appearance
  • Making your app look and act like a real web app instead of a desktop app running in the browser
