User Interface Language Components

Most of the functionality in the AIMMS graphical user interface that is relevant to end-users of your modeling application can be accessed directly from within the AIMMS modeling language. This chapter discusses the functions and identifiers in AIMMS that you can use within your model

• to influence the appearance and behavior of data shown in your end-user interface, or

• to provide (or re-define) direct interaction with the end-user interface through dialog boxes, menus and buttons.

Rather than providing a complete reference of all these functions, this chapter provides you with a global overview of the functions available per functional category. A complete function reference is made available as part of the AIMMS documentation in User Interface Related Functions.
