This control can also be used to display specific information, important for the end user. Several types of uses are available. For example: - using the Repositionable Note control fo display a data found in the database (comments about the type of delivery for each customer for example).
- using the Repositionable Note control to remind the user of an action to perform. In this case, the text of the note is fixed, it is not linked to the database.
Remark: The end user can handle the repositionable notes, he can close them, delete them. He can also add some via the AAF (Automatic Application Feature) for creating notes.
