Set one window to open by default when user login

#1

Is it possible to set one window to open by default when user login.
Perhaps with the close button disabled for this particular window tab.

Hi Kjell,

yes, you can do that: There is a ready method that can be called overridden in your ExtMainWindow class.
Here’s an example:

public class ExtAppMainWindow extends AppMainWindow {

     @Override
     public void ready() {
         super.ready();
         openWindow("my-initial-screen", WindowManager.OpenType.NEW_TAB);
     }
 }

Bye,
Mario

Is it possible to prevent users from closing this tab?

Yes. Look at this topic: Pin a tab in Cuba Platform app or protect from closing - Stack Overflow
Basically you should just override the following method in the controller:

@Override
protected boolean preClose(String actionId) {
    return false;
}

It works but only issue I noticed is that if I have a menu item for opening the same screen (the default), then post login if I click the menu item (unlikely to do) the it opens 2 tabs of the same window.

Hi,

this is true. I faced that as well. The solution to this can be found here:
