Assisted Application Development
Overview
The development environment proposes several mechanisms for assisting the developers in their work.
Among these are:
Assisted Application Development
The Assisted Application Development (AAD) is a permanent help in the environment. This help suggests actions whenever it is appropriate.
To perform the suggested action, all you have to do is click the tooltip.
The AAD affects several areas (GUI, source code, ...), suggests the use of a component, proposes to improve an algorithm or give general advice.

Managing and configuring the Assisted Application Development

To configure the Assisted Application Development:
  1. On the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV/WEBDEV/WINDEV Mobile".
  2. In the "AAD" tab, you can:
    • Specify the position of the AAD tooltip (at the top or at the bottom).
    • Ask to be notified about the new tips.
    • Ask for confirmation before running the selected AAD.
    • Re-enable an AAD.
To re-enable an AAD:
  1. On the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV/WEBDEV/WINDEV Mobile".
  2. Select the "AAD" tab. The list of disabled tips is displayed.
  3. Check the line corresponding to the tip that must be re-enabled.
  4. Validate.

Don't display an AAD anymore

An Assisted Application Development tip is displayed while you would rather not? You don't want to see this message anymore? All you have to do is disable the AAD.
To disable an AAD:
  1. Display the popup menu of the AAD (right-click the tooltip).
  2. Select "Do not show this category again".
Remark: The popup menu of the AAD can also be used to configure the AAD ("Configure the AAD).

The AAD explains the problem and applies the best possible anchors whenever possible. If the AAD cannot define the best anchoring, different solutions are proposed.
