Setting Name and Type

  1. Enter a unique Base Name for your UI Design or accept the default value.
  2. Select the container type from the context menu or accept the default value.
  3. Uncheck the Support View Switching checkbox if you do not wish to use this feature.
  4. Support for Avkon View switching requires that the application's AppUi class be derived from the SDK's CAknViewAppUi class. The UI Designer will initialize your application's AppUi class to derive from that parent class if this box is checked. If you uncheck the box, the UI Designer will instead derive your application's AppUi class from class CAknAppUi.

    NOTE For most applications this box should remain checked. Once set, this option and the effect which it has on your applications ability to support Avkon View Switching, cannot be changed by the UI Designer. Significant manual effort would be required to manually adjust your project to support this feature should you decide later to incorporate it.

  5. Click Next
  6. The Basic Settings page appears.
