Windows Overview

Creating Windows

Creating windows is a easy as pressing the New Window button in the toolbar, or by navigating to the File > New > Window menu. There are three types of windows you can create: a main window, a popup window, or a docked window. These three windows are described in the typical navigation strategy page.

Naming and Organization

Use the Project Browser panel to rename a window by right-clicking on it and choosing Rename, or by pressing F2. You can also create folders to organize your windows. A window's name must be unique among the windows in its folder. A window's name and folder path is very important - it will be how other windows reference it.

Window Notes

Through the right-click menu on a window in the Project Browser you can access the window's notes. This free-form text field is provided to let the designer document the purpose and any technical information about how the window works.

Importing and Exporting

You may import and export windows to external files by using the right-click menu in the Project Browser. Simply select the windows in the export wizard that you'd like to export, and choose a path for the resulting *.vwin file.
