Overview
A WINDEV project and all its elements compatible with WINDEV Mobile (analysis, windows, classes, sets of procedures, queries, etc.) can be opened in WINDEV Mobile. Likewise, a WINDEV Mobile project can be opened in WINDEV.
A WINDEV (or WINDEV Mobile) project and all its elements compatible with WEBDEV (analysis, classes, sets of procedures, queries, ...) can be imported into a new WEBDEV project.
Likewise, a WEBDEV project can be imported into a new WINDEV project. For more details, see Importing a WEBDEV project and its elements.
How to proceed : Importing projects
WEBDEV - Server code

Importing a WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile project into WEBDEV

To import a WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile project into WEBDEV:
  1. On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, expand "Import" and select "A WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile project".
  2. Select the directory containing the WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile project that must be imported into WEBDEV. The import wizard starts.
  3. Select the directory where the WEBDEV project must be created.
  4. If the project is linked to an analysis, specify:
    • whether the analysis must be copied into the new project
    • whether the analysis must be shared between the WINDEV (or WINDEV Mobile) project and the WEBDEV project. In this case, the directory of the analysis will not be copied into the directory of the new project.
  5. By default, the project elements (classes, sets of procedures, queries) are automatically copied into the new WEBDEV project.
    However, these elements can be shared between the source WINDEV (or WINDEV Mobile) project and the WINDEV project. In this case, the files will remain in the source WINDEV (or WINDEV Mobile) project: they will not be copied into the directory of the WEBDEV project.
    Select the project elements that will be shared.
  6. Validate the import of the project. All the project elements are automatically imported (except for the windows). The project is opened and compiled in WEBDEV.
The list of errors that occurred (functions that do not exist in WEBDEV for example) is displayed in the "Compilation errors" pane.
Remark: From version 24, the webification wizard allows you to transform a WINDEV application into a website. For more details, see Transform your existing WINDEV applications into websites.

Importing WINDEV elements (windows, reports, ...) into a WINDEV Mobile project

To import WINDEV elements (windows, reports, ...) into a WINDEV Mobile project:
  1. Open the WINDEV Mobile project where the import must be performed.
  2. On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, expand "Import" and select "WINDEV elements". The import wizard starts.
  3. Select the WINDEV project that contains the elements to import or directly select the WINDEV files to import. Go to the next step.
  4. Select the elements to import.
  5. If the WINDEV project contains elements that can be shared with WINDEV Mobile (classes, sets of procedures, reports, queries), the import wizard allows you to:
    • share these elements. These elements will not be physically copied into the WINDEV Mobile project but they will be accessible from the project.
    • copy these elements into the WINDEV Mobile project. These elements will evolve independently in each project.
  6. Validate. The import is automatically performed.

Importing WINDEV Mobile elements (windows, reports, ...) into a WINDEV project

To import WINDEV Mobile elements (windows, reports, ...) into a WINDEV project:
  1. Open the WINDEV project where the import must be performed.
  2. On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, expand "Import" and select "WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile elements". The import wizard starts.
  3. Select the WINDEV Mobile project that contains the elements to import or directly select the WINDEV Mobile files to import. Go to the next step.
  4. Select the elements to import.
  5. If the WINDEV Mobile project contains elements that can be shared with WINDEV (classes, sets of procedures, reports, queries), the import wizard allows you to:
    • share these elements. These elements will not be copied into the WINDEV project but they will be accessible from the project.
    • copy these elements to the WINDEV project. These elements will evolve independently in each project.
  6. Validate. The import is automatically performed.

    • share these elements. These elements will not be copied into the WINDEV project but they will be accessible from the project.
    • copy these elements to the WINDEV project. These elements will evolve independently in each project.
  6. Validate. The import is automatically performed.
Remark: The windows are changed into pages during the import process. The controls not supported by WEBDEV are not imported.
Notes

Project handling codes shared between WINDEV, WINDEV Mobile and WEBDEV

If the projects share classes or sets of procedures, the elements found in the source project are handled directly. A single source code is used.
You may have adapt the code so that it runs on different platforms. For example, it is recommended to use the InXXXmode functions (InAndroidMode, IniOSMode, etc.) and/or the <IF ExecutionTarget=...> statement to differentiate code that will be executed on a PC, a website or a phone.

    Dependency of the files

    The elements are imported along with their dependencies: all the files linked to the imported element are also imported. The images are automatically converted into a format supported by WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile.
