The Application object is the top object in the Stonefield Query object model. A reference to this object is passed to every event and data object script so the script can interact with Stonefield Query as necessary. User-defined scripts can access the Application object through the built-in SQApplication object. Through the Application object, a script has access to every other object in the object model.
