How to Customize Pages

The Quick Layout spreadsheet and Toolbox make it a snap to customize generated Web pages. No knowledge of HTML or ASPX is required — Iron Speed Designer generates it all for you!

Step 1: Use the Quick Layout spreadsheet to arrange fields and panels. Just drag and drop.


Step 2: Drag databound fields and panels from the Toolbox onto your page. No hook up necessary!


Step 3: Fine tune your layout in the Cell Editor by adding your own text and HTML tags. Localized editing keeps you from getting lost in a sea of HTML!


You can also customize page layout with your favorite HTML editor, including Microsoft Visual Studio and Dreamweaver.

How to Customize Code

Code generated by Iron Speed Designer is designed to be customized and regenerated repeatedly without losing your code. A class hierarchy designed for customization preserves your code when regenerating your application.

Step 1: Select the component you wish to customize in the Quick Layout spreadsheet.


Step 2: Use the convenient code tabs to select the function you wish to customize. Iron Speed Designer shows you exactly what's relevant and inserts an override function with one click. No need to guess!


Step 3: Add your code customization to the automatically created override function.

How to Customize CSS Style Sheets

Easy-to-customize CSS style sheets gives you complete control over fonts, colors and other style elements.

Step 1: Locate the style you want to change in your application's automatically generated style sheet, BaseStyles.css.


Step 2: Override the style with your customizations in Styles.css.

Extensive Class Documentation

Iron Speed Designer generates extensive application documentation. The Code Documentation facility combines class browsing with code documentation so you can quickly identify the right classes and methods to customize.
