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.

Note The first window of the project is also requested during project testing, if no window has been defined. For more details, see Test a project.

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.
Open the context menu of the window (right 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.
Right-click to open the context menu of the window.
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.

Note If the project has several configurations, it is possible to define a first window for each configuration. Simply:

Select the desired project configuration in the "Project Explorer" pane.
Set the first project window via the context menu in the "Project Explorer" pane.

Defining the first window in the configuration description

To define the first window in the project description:

Open the project description window. To do so, go to the "Project" tab, "Project" group, and select "Description".
On the "General" tab, click "Configuration description".
The description window of the current configuration is displayed.
On 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 test a project from the editor:

On the "Project" tab, in the "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Debug project" (Ctrl + F9). You can also click in 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.
