WINDEV Concepts

Part 1: Main concepts 25 6 Dim disabled windows Your application opens several windows at the same time and you don’t know which one to use ? The inactive windows can be automatically dimmed. This feature allows you to always know which window to use. This feature is called DDW, which stands for Dim Disabled Windows. For example: Step 1: You change the customer information and then click "Validate". Step 2: A window prompts you to confirm or cancel the changes. The main window (in the background) has become unavailable. It is automatically dimmed. You immediately identify the window that must be used. The DDW features are available for the entire project or they can be customized for each window. You can also set the DDW feature programmatically. For more details, see the online help. 7 Internal window Internal windows allow you to dynamically share the same UI section in one or more applications. The UI to be used multiple times is created in an "Internal Window". This UI can be used in the different windows of your application via the "Internal Window" control. Remark : The internal window can come from a component. For more details, see the online help.
