Connections

Connect a panel to VirtualSpace from the property editor.

Whether you have started working on your new iiziApp through the UI, data-source or Java code, you have already made some connections to a VirtualSpace. It is recommended that you create the four possible VirtualSpace entities inside of vsGroups; these entities can then be updated and controlled individually or simultaneously by updating the vsGroup. This means that the VirtualSpace is likely to be a representation of the data model at a specific application instance.

To connect the UI components to VirtualSpace entities, the Panel must first be connected to a VirtualSpace. In this way, you will connect UI components that handle data to a VirtualSpace entity. UI components which handle actions, such as buttons, are likely to have a vsAction property.
