Public MethodOverloaded. 

Creates a sketch that can later be displayed in the file selection dialogs.

 
Public MethodOverloaded. This function adds a table that can then be used in the Designer.  
Public MethodOverloaded. 

This method can be used to define relations between the tables added via the LlDbAddTable Method. List & Label doesn't directly distinguish between different relation types. You simply pass a relation and it's ID and can query the current relation later at print time using the LlPrintDbGetCurrentTableRelation Method.

 
Public MethodThis method can be used to define available sort orders for the tables added via the LlDbAddTable Method. Each sorting has it's unique ID that can be queried using the LlPrintDbGetCurrentTableSortOrder Method at print time.  
Public Method

If the master data is passed as variables, List & Label needs to know which table is the "master" table in order to be able to offer the suitable sub tables in the table structure window. If you set the master table name using this method, all tables related to this table can be inserted at the root level of the table object.
