 Warning
From version 26, this feature is no longer available.
Our surveys show that end users love AAFs (Automatic Application Features) and that these AAFs increase their satisfaction and efficiency when using the applications. To allow end users to discover AAFs, WINDEV proposes the following mechanisms: - Displaying a "Did you know" window about AAFs when the application starts. The user can disable this feature.
- Presence of a menu option for displaying today's tips ("Did you know") in the "?" menu.
Displaying a "Did you know" window when the application starts To display the "Did you know" window at the startup of your WINDEV application: - Open the project description: On the "Project" tab, in the "Project" group, click "Description".
- On the "Advanced" tab, check "Enable the "Did you know" window for AAFs".
Remark: The "Show available AAFs" button opens the PDF file containing the presentation of the various FAAs available in a WINDEV application. - Validate the project description window. The "TipOfTheDay" component is automatically included in your project.
Remarks: - To avoid displaying the "Did you know" window, simply uncheck "Enable the "Did you know" window for AAFs" ("Advanced" tab in the project description window).
- The user can choose not to display the "Did you know" window: simply check the "Don't show tips at startup" option.. To show the window again, it is possible to use the Shift key when launching the executable.
Displaying a "Did you know" option in the automatic help menu If your application already contains an automatic help menu "? ": - In the window containing the automatic help menu, select the menu option '?'.
- Select "Wizard for editing the '?' menu" in the context menu.
- In the wizard, when choosing the menu options, select "Did you know".
- Finish the wizard. The automatic help menu is modified. The "TipOfTheDay" component is automatically included in your project.
If your application contains no automatic help menu: - Add an automation menu to your main window: under the "Window" pane, in the "Bars and menus" group, pull down "Main menu" and select "Add '?' menu".. For more details, see '?' menu.
- In the wizard, the "Did you know" option must be checked in order to create the corresponding menu option.
- Finish the wizard. The automatic help menu is created. The "TipOfTheDay" component is automatically included in your project.
Remark: If the automation menu offers the "Did you know" option, the tips will also be offered automatically when the application is launched: the "Enable the "Did you know" window for AAFs" option is automatically checked in the "Advanced" tab of the project description. |
