Automatically display view at the first time running application

Hello,

You can set the StartupNavigationItem property for the NavigationItems node in the Model Editor. You can also update this property in code by handling the XafApplication.LoggedOn or XafApplication.UserDifferencesLoaded events, e.g.:

C#
using DevExpress.ExpressApp.SystemModule;  
using System.Linq;  
...  
        private void MainDemoWinApplication_LoggedOn(object sender, LogonEventArgs e) {  
            XafApplication app = (XafApplication)sender;  
            IModelApplicationNavigationItems navigationItems = (IModelApplicationNavigationItems)app.Model;  
            string targetViewId = "Department_ListView";  
            IModelNavigationItem targetNavigationItem = navigationItems.NavigationItems.AllItems.FirstOrDefault(  
                item => item.View != null & item.View.Id == targetViewId);  
            if(targetNavigationItem != null) {  
                navigationItems.NavigationItems.StartupNavigationItem = targetNavigationItem;  
            }  
        }  
...
