HighStone Technical Reference
The section of the HighStone Help System contains details on the internal configuration, application build details and coding standards that are used in the highStone Application Environment. The notes are aimed at Client System Administrators and Software Developers that work on the system.
The following details are given under the various Section Headings:
HighStone Configuration
Details on the Client and System Configuration that is used to configure the HighStone Application to a specific Client Environment. Many of these aspects can be set by the Client System Administrator and this Section contains a wealth of detail on all aspects of HighStone Configuration Facilities.
HighStone Build and Installation
Details on the HighStone Versions, related Application Program Files, and required Supporting Component Libraries and Utilities. Build Configurations are listed so that the environment that is used to create each HighStone Module can be ascertained.
A further heading under this Section gives details on how HighStone should be installed on Client Systems.
HighStone Development Notes
This section is aimed at Software Developers who work in the underlying HighStone Coding Environment. The Section is divided into three broad areas:
- Coding Design Standards - This section details the range of system settings and definitions that are adopted in the HighStone Coding Environment. These Standards are applied throughout all Application Coding to ensure a consistent appearance and style is given to the Application across all Modules, and create a highly maintainable coding library.
- Coding and Functions Library - A detailed reference library to the Coding Functions and Subroutine Modules that make up the HighStone Coding Environment. The topics include outlines on how Functions are used within the coding of each key Data and Prompt Panel, and the Function Library details the individual code Functions.
- Help Documentation Creation - Configuration Details and Design Standards applied to the Help Documentation on HighStone Applications. This section is targeted at those developers that work on the creation of the Help Documentation that builds in to the topics and reference material that you are now reading. The design Standards are laid down to ensure that a consistent appearance and layout is given across the entire Help system. The section explains how Help Topics are linked to HighStone Panels, and the steps needed to distribute the Help System on Client Systems.
