WINDEV Mobile Concepts

22 Part 1: Main concepts Window templates WINDEV Mobile allows you to create window templates. These templates contain all the graphic elements common to all the windows of your application. Changes made to a window template are automatically applied to all the windows that use the template. Window templates allow you to keep the style book defined for an application. Define a window template. The template is bordered by an orange line in the editor. Template used in several windows. The elements belonging to the template are identified by a yellow square. A window template can be created: • via the icon in the quick access buttons. In the "New" window, click "Window", and then "Window template". • from the current window (on the "Home" tab, in the "General" group, expand "Save" and select "Save as a template"). To create a window based on a template, select the desired template when creating the window. The characteristics of the elements can be dissociated from the template. For example, dissociate the position of a control from the template to move it elsewhere while keeping other changes (code, style, etc.). This is referred to as control inheritance . In this case, the elements are identified by a blue square.
