To access the Winform Painter, enter MPAINT at the FOCUS prompt. If you wish, you can specify a particular Maintain procedure to paint:

MPAINT [procedure_name]

If:

• You do not specify a name, the Painter displays the Open Maintain dialog box that enables you to choose an existing procedure or create a new one. For information about using this dialog box, see Open.
• The named procedure exists (that is, both its FOCEXEC/MAINTAIN and WINFORMS files exist), the Painter displays the procedure's first Winform in the design screen. You can edit it or create additional Winforms for the procedure.
• The named procedure does not exist, or only one of its two files exists, the Painter creates the procedure. If one file exists, the Painter gives you a choice of retaining it (if it's a FOCEXEC or MAINTAIN), replacing it, or canceling the operation. The Painter then displays the following dialog boxes:

  Select Master Files, which enables you to select the Master Files to be associated with the procedure. For information about using this dialog box, see Select Master. (This is not displayed if you choose to retain an existing FOCEXEC/MAINTAIN file.)

  Winform Properties, which enables you to specify the properties of the first Winform. For information about using this dialog box, see Properties.

If you wish, later you can revise any information that you enter into the initial dialog boxes using the design screen's pull-down menus.
