Tuto WINDEV 25

272 Part 4: Full application with data Professional distribution The distribution of components via a setup procedure consists in providing a setup program to the users of WINDEV component. This program installs all the files required for using the component in the directory specified by the user. This setup mode is used to automatically manage: • the WDO file and the setup of additional files used by the component. • the automatic setup of necessary tools (MDAC, ODBC driver for HFSQL, ...). • the automatic update of data files used by the component (if necessary). • the uninstall program of component. ▶ Close the "CompoUse" project: on the "Home" pane, in the "General" group, expand "Close" and select "Close the project". ▶ Open the "WD Full Application" project that was used beforehand (for example, display the home page and select the "WD Full Application" project found in the recent projects). If necessary, select the project configuration corresponding to the component in the "Project explorer" pane. ▶ To create the setup, go to the "Project" pane, "Generation" group, and click on "Setup procedure". The wizard for creating the component setup starts. We won’t go into details about the different setup modes of a component. Follow the instructions given by the wizard. See the online help for more details (keyword: "External component, Distributing a component").
