Overview

The Dashboard control proposes several Automatic Application Features (AAF) allowing the user to benefit from all control capabilities. These features are available for Windows applications, the WEBDEV websites and the Mobile applications.

AAFs in the Windows applications

Overview

By default, the Dashboard control proposes to the user to:

Switch to edit mode: edit mode allows users to configure their array.
Save the content of Dashboard control in image format.

When users switch to "Edit" mode, they can configure the different elements in the dashboard:

It is possible to:

hide an element,
add an invisible element,
restore the initial configuration.

The edit mode can also be used to modify the position and size of elements.

Features of the context menu

Save as (image): Saves the contents of the Dashboard control as an image (for printing, for example).
Edit mode: This feature enables the user to enter edit mode and configure his or her array.

Edit mode in the Dashboard control

The following options are available in the context menu of the Edit mode:

Add: This option opens a sub-menu displaying a list of invisible Widgets that can be added.
Hide: This option hides the current Widget..
Restore initial configuration: This option returns the array to the state it was in before the changes were made in edit mode.. All the modifications performed (size, position, hiding, addition) are canceled.

The Edit mode can be configured programmatically:

DashMode can be used to:
- know whether the Edit mode is enabled,
- enable or disable the Edit mode,
- configure the available actions in Edit mode. You can for example allow the widgets to be moved and resized only.
Using AAFDisable with the aafDashEditMode constant disables the context menu used to switch to edit mode.
