First run Wizard

[luke2012]

Hi to all,
which is the best way to implement a user Wizard (like "Smart Launcher" first run) ?

A sequence of Panels with a "next" button on the bottom ?

Probably. I might also give them some slight animation and have them display over top of your layout. Also, be sure to add an exit button so the user can skip the tutorial if desired.

I don't mean Tutorial. I'm talking about a configuration wizard.

If you install "Smart Launcher" you can see what I mean (first run configuration).

You can declare 2 vars for example

Dim FirstPanel As panel
Dim FirstRun As Boolean
Dim HelpScr As Boolean : HelpScr = False
...
...

Also you can use <<statemanager class>> to save "FirstRun"


Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

...
...

' Only will show the Help Panel on the first run
If FirstRun = True Then
FirstPanel.Visible = True 'Your Help Panel(s)
HelpScr = True
Else
firstpanel.Visible = False
HelpScr = False
End If

StateManager.SetSetting("FirstRun",False)
StateManager.SaveSettings
