Using Example Launcher Application
 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.
