DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer’s Guide
User Information Splash-screen
This dialog appears the first time DXP-PRO is launched, and prompts you to enter the user
information that will be used to identify the designer of the DXP-PRO project (
Created By,
Company Name, Phone,
and
E-mail Address
).
Once the information is entered, this dialog will not automatically be shown again at startup, but
can always be accessed via the
Edit
menu.
The checkbox at the bottom of this dialog can be selected to prevent the dialog from automatically
appearing when the program is started, even if no data has been entered.
DXP-PRO Main Screen
When Design XPress - Professional (DXP-PRO) is initially launched, the second dialog displayed
is the Main Screen (FIG. 1). Use the Main Screen as the starting point for creating new projects and
opening existing projects. The Main Screen also contains command buttons for copying projects
and deleting projects.
There are three main areas on the Main Screen: the
Menu Bar
, the
Project Selection List
, and the
Project Maintenance - Command buttons
.
Version and build information for this version of DXP-PRO is listed in the lower right
corner of the Main Screen.
Before creating a new project, you should consider opening the sample project and
quickly going through the various Wizard dialogs to become familiar with the program.
This dialog is used by the Design XPress Professional software application to fill-in
some data within the project.
This means that if you do an initial installation of DXP-PRO you will be asked to enter
your information into the User Information dialog. Once this data has been entered,
you will not be asked for it again. Consecutive launches of the application display the
User Information dialog already populated with the pre-entered data.
If the application is at some point un-installed and then re-installed, you will be
prompted to re-enter you information.
If the
No longer show on startup
selection has been chosen/enabled, you will no
longer be asked to enter any user data into the User Information dialog.
