How can I : Create new NavBar button + View

[TheMagu]

Hello,

I'm looking into how I should go about (properly) creating a NavBar button and a new view/form.  I'm using C# with 2013 Premium if that matters.

So far, I've been able to create a form object and "show" it upon a menu click, but I would rather the form itself be a "view" item (I hope that makes sense)

Any tips/directions/code would be great, but I'd really like some starter tips.

Thank you.

For creating a new Navbar item or modifying an existing one this thread probably has most of what you need:

Thanks Jim!

To show a form like a view,  you can pass it a paramater to LoadSDIView(form) which is a method under the ActApplication class.

Matthew and Jim, thanks, this is good stuff!

I was just about to post this same question and found the answers easily.
