First project window

Overview

The first project window corresponds to the first window that will be opened when starting the WINDEV or WINDEV Mobile application.

This window is also the first window that will be opened during the project test on the development computer.

How to define the first project window?

WINDEV proposes several methods for defining and choosing the first project window:

Via the "Project explorer" pane.
In the configuration description.
During the first project test.

Remark: The first project window is also request during the project test, if no window was defined. See Running the test of a project for more details.

Defining the first project window in the "Project explorer" pane

To define the first project window:

In the "Project explorer" pane, select the window that will be defined as first window.
Display the popup menu of window (right mouse click) and select "First project window".

The icon is used to identify the first project window in the "Project explorer" pane.

If the application is intended to be used on phones and tablets, a first window can be defined for each use:

In the "Project explorer" pane, select the window that will be defined as first window.
Display the popup menu of window (right mouse click).
Select:
- "First window for phones" to define the first window that will be displayed when the application is run on a phone.
- "First window for tablets" to define the first window that will be displayed when the application is run on a tablet.

Remark: If the project includes several configurations, a first window can be defined for each configuration. Simply:

Select the requested project configuration in the project explorer.
Define the first project window in the popup menu of the project explorer.

Defining the first window in the configuration description

To define the first window in the project description:

Open the project description: under the "Project" section, in the "Project" group, click on "Description".
In the "General" tab, click "Description of current configuration".
The description window of the current configuration is displayed.
In the "General" tab, the "First project window" list allows you to select the first project window.

If the application is intended to be used on phones and tablets, the first project window defined in the configuration description will be used as first window on phones and tablets.

Defining the first window during the project test

To run the test of a project from the editor:

Under the "Project" pane, in the "Test mode" group, scroll down "Test mode" and select "Debug the project" (Ctrl + F9). You also have the ability to click among the quick access buttons.
If the first project window was not defined, a window is displayed, allowing you to select the first project window.
If the application is intended to be used on phones and tablets, two windows are displayed:
- a window used to define the first project window on the phones.
- a window used to define the first project window on the tablets.
The editor is automatically minimized and the project is run.
