Adding and Using Custom Programs
Use the following instructions to add custom programs to the menu system. If created following QAD programming constructs, your custom programs can be run in the .NET UI interface. If the QAD programming constructs were not followed, your custom program may not function properly in the .NET UI interface. Instead, run it in the embedded telnet interface.

Option 2: Add the custom program to the menu using Menu System Maintenance (36.4.4).
2 Add the program to Program Information Maintenance (36.3.21.1).
Use these settings to run custom programs in the .NET UI interface:
• Set Web Logic Implemented to No.
• Set Type to .NET UI.
Use these settings to run the custom program in the embedded telnet interface:
