Example: Adding a Top-Level Web Page to your Project

The first step in defining a Top-Level Web page is adding it to your UIProject node in the Tasks View, you can do this by right-clicking on the UIProject and selecting the "Add a Top ASPX Web Page" menu item:

 

               addtoppage

Or, with the selection on the UIProject node, click on the Add a Top ASPX Web Page Icon in the Treeview's add icons area:

 

               addnewtop

You can add a UIScreen, UIComposite, UIWorkFlow or UINotebookas the first page to be displayed in a Top Page, and can add any number of UIMenu objects if the selected ModulePageTemplate supports menus.
