     Overview

     

    Nevron User Interface ships with an Example Launcher Application, which is extremely useful for exploring the suite features and behaviour. The launcher consists of a Main Menu component and a docking framework, which contains 6 docking panels:

     

    • Contents - Hosts the navigation tree.
    • Search - Hosts a search control which operates upon the navigation tree.
    • Example - Hosts the current example user control.
    • View Source - Displays the source code of the current example.
    • Description - Displays a brief features overview of the component the current example demonstrates.
    • Visit Nevron Web Site - Hosts a Web Browser which navigates to www.nevron.com when panel is activated.

     

    Whenever an example node from the navigation tree is selected, the corresponding example is loaded.
