Wizard

The process of creating a new project by the wizard mode follows the following procedures:

To create a new project you can access the menu via the following path:

File > New Project (Wizard)

Then, a window appears with a set of questions that will assist in the creation of the project.

Step 1

This first screen welcomes you to the process of creating a new project. Briefly explain the steps to follow.

• Project's Description - Enter the description of the project. Free field, used only in Kalipso.

Click Next

Step 2

In this screen, the application asks for the choice of style for the application to be developed. Graphical proposals are presented to facilitate. You can also create a project without having a defining style at first. Later, you can change the style or import it from another application.

After choosing you can click next.

Step 3

In this window you can choose which device the project is directed to. From the list available, you can choose the following:

• Generic Smartphone

• Generic Tablet Regular

• Generic Tabelt Small

• Generic Windows Mobile

• Generic Windows Mobile Wide

Step 4

In this window the application asks whether you need to use a database or not. After choosing the next process for creating a project, it differs.

If you choose that you do not need to use a database, the screen will proceed to step 5.

In case of choosing the connection to a database, the application presents the following two questions:

Do you want to connect to a database through:

• ODBC - Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) is a standard application programming interface (API) for accessing database management systems (DBMS) . The designers of ODBC aimed to make it independent of database systems and operating systems.

• OLE DB - Object Linking and Embedding, Database, (sometimes written as OLEDB or OLE-DB), an API designed by Microsoft, allows accessing data from a variety of sources in a uniform manner.

Depending on the chosen connection, the application asks for the following (choose the appropriate tab):

ODBC

OLE DB

• ODBC Connection - The name/path to the database

• User Name - User name to access the database

• Password - Password used to access the database

• Prefix (optional) - Define a Prefix hat will be added in the call of each object that uses this connection.

In front of the name for the ODBC connection has two buttons:

The application asks if the database is supported on:

• SQL Server

• Input Connection String

SQL Server option:

• Server - Server address

• Database - Name of the data base

• User - Name of the user with access to the database

• Password - User password

• Port - Communication port. You can leave it empty by default

After completing the previous phases, the process of creating a project is ready and you can click on create. After that, the application asks for the folder where to save the Kalipso project file (.mfs file).
