Hi all,

with eXrepressApp Framework can we create an interface that have some controls without creating tables in database? in this interface we have some process to do.

If it's possible how to do that?

Thanks a lot. 

 There is no way to do that? Please I'm waiting for an answer from you because I didn't find a solution.

What I want is to create a custum interface that have no data to store in database.

 

just create the winform with the special interface, and activate by an action in a controller.

 

regards

Hi,

Yes, it's possible. But what is the reason for the decision to use XAF for a not-data-aware application? It seems it is better to create a reqular Windows Forms application with our controls, and you will get the same UI, and without fighting against the default XAF behavior. Of course, if you provide more information on your scenario, we could provide more feedback.

 Hi all,

the purpose of creating an interface without creating tables in DB, is that I have a project created with XAF and I want to call an interface to manage license that store data with registry base.

I want to call this interface from the navigation bar. with the view controller and the action, I can add the action to the tool bar but I want to call this interface from the navigation bar.

The following might work, although I haven't tried it myself (I do use the CustomProcessShortcut event for other purposes, though).

Create a new navigation item manually in the application model. You probably only need to set the caption, but some of the other parameters might be necessary as well. Then create a window controller (NOT a view controller) that handles the Application.CustomProcessShortcut event. Set the window controller properties so that it is attached to the main window. In the CustomeProcessShortcut event handler, create a view and assign it to e.View. Set e.Handled to true to let the application know that the view has been created, and hopefully your custom view should appear.

To display a custom Form from a Navigation item consider using the
CustomShowNavigationItem event of the ShowNavigationItemController.
