Overview
The Automatic Application Features (AAF) allow you to add features to your application without having to write a single line of code. All you have to do is check the relevant options in order to benefit from these features.
Some examples of AAF:
Help the users
Use the AAFOpenHelp function to allow users to access the documentation about the automatic features in your application (sort and search in tables, chart options, etc.). The https://aaf.windev.com/ site presents the automatic features available in your applications: resize windows, table options, chart options, etc.). .
AAF menu settings
WINDEV includes several Automatic Application Features (AAFs). These AAFs allow end users to print and export the content of a Table control to Excel, show a calendar when entering a date, etc.
In most cases, specific context menus are linked to AAFs. These context menus are displayed on windows, Edit controls, Image controls, etc.
You can easily define the different options of the context menu in the editor.
A custom context menu can also be added to the AAF context menu. This context menu can be placed before or after the AAF context menu.
