Part 4: Full application with data 331 Configuring SCM Before you start working on the elements of project found in the SCM, you must configure the mode for checking out the project elements. When working on the elements of a project in the SCM, the element must be checked out from the repository before it can be modified, then it must be checked back in once the changes have been made. Therefore, the modified element becomes available to all SCM users. WINDEV proposes two modes for checking out the project elements : • the standard mode : if you display a SCM element that is not checked out, a panel indicates that the element must be checked out before it can be modified. The element can be checked out immediately (check-out button found in the dialog box). • the automatic mode : if you try to modify a SCM element that is not checked out, the SCM automatically proposes to check out this element. Once the check-out is validated, the element can be modified. Remark : this mode is not recommended when using SCM with a slow Internet connection. The automatic check-out will be used in this tutorial . ▶ To make sure that the automatic check-out is enabled, on the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "General options of WINDEV". In the "General" tab, check (if necessary) "Check out elements during the first modification". Handling the project via SCM We are now going to work with SCM in real conditions by performing the following operations: • Modify a project parameter. • Modify a project window. Modifying a project parameter ▶ We are going to modify the project by asking to display the skin template on the system windows: 1. Display the project description: on the "Project" pane, in the "Project" group, click "Description". 2. Click the "Style" tab. 3. Check "Customize the system windows (Info, YesNo, Confirm, Dialog)". 4. Validate the description window of project.
