The DataFlex Structure Viewer tool

Using the DataFlex Structure Viewer

The tool first needs to scan the workspace environment. When all relationships are scanned, the DataFlex Structure Viewer can produce a graphical overview of your underlying system. The result provides an editable vector-based view, so you can modify the layout after the initial scan. It can be stored as picture, to include the new graphics in a report to document your system.

You need a DataFlex Development or Client License to run the program, but the tool can scan older versions of DataFlex as well as all (registered) DataFlex workspaces. DataFlex Structure Viewer is completely written in DataFlex and uses some third party ActiveX components.
