All that is required is that you name your widgets the same as the fields in your data source. Steps for use: * Create a DataManager object that contains the rows to display. Use DbiDataManager, RdbDataManager or DbcDataManager depending on how you access the database: sql commands and DBI, DBIx::Class or Rose::DB::Object * Create a Gtk2::GladeXML object to construct the Gtk2 windows * Create a Gtk2::Ex::DbLinker::Form object that links the data and the windows * You would then typically connect the buttons to the methods below to handle common actions such as inserting, moving, deleting, etc. AUTHOR François Rappaz COPYRIGHT This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
