Best approach for showing a Settings Wizard on first start

created 7 years ago

Hey folks,

how would you recommend to show a wizard form to configure some global setting on a XAF Application (Windows and Web) at the first start?

Best,
Micha

Hello, Micha.

You can create an object that will represent settings and show its detail view on the application startup. Please refer to the How to show a specific View at application startup, right after the logon window or after loading the main window and How to: Implement a Singleton Business Object and Show its Detail View articles.
To determine if it is the first time the application is started, set a hidden property in your settings class.
