Creating Commands and Working with Menus in LightSwitch
For the latest documentation on Visual Studio 2017, see Visual Studio 2017 Documentation.
In LightSwitch applications, menus let the user display screens, and commands let the user perform actions. You can create commands and display them as buttons on a screen’s toolbar.
In this set of lessons you’ll learn how to create commands, customize menus, and specify the home screen.
These lessons build upon the My First Application project that you last modified in the Using a Parameterized Query on a Screen lesson. If your application isn't already open in Visual Studio, on the menu bar, choose File, Open Project to open it. |
