25. POOM So with the POOM object & Pocket PowerBuilder we can now enquire, access, create, update & delete contacts, appointments and tasks Programmatically from within Pocket PowerBuilder applications in a very 4GL way.

26. Today Item In PPB, the custom Today item and its parameters are part of the Application object, and you can use the Application painter to set Today item properties. The Today Item means several things from being a way of displaying data from a Pocket PowerBuilder Application onto the Display screen, to being a glorified shortcut to a Pocket PowerBuilder application, as well and even a combination of the two.

27. Today Item Two types of applications are needed for Today Items, they are the Display Application & the Run Application. If you have both a Display Application and a Run Application,each will have its own instance of the PPB VM Data Segment loaded No communication can take place.
