TASK: Add a new field in the default style

In this task you will learn how to add a new field to a dialog box, using the default style.

You will be able to perform this task only if:

•You are able to run Ted4.

1.In Visual Studio, open ted4_config.xml and then search for the <objectUI name="simpleNewArticle".

2.Expand the root code so you can see the structure, that contains only two attributes, still collapsed but we can read the names: they are 'name' and 'folderRef'.

3.Click after the </attribute> in the folderRef line and press Enter to make an empty line.

4.Type:

      <attribute name="notes">

        <ui mode="Normal" />

      </attribute>

7.Now, the code looks like:

8.Save changes and import them in database as explained in TASK: Save changes and import them in database.

9.Run Ted4, and then on the File menu, click New article while holding the SHIFT key: the new field is there.
