Hooking up a workflow to the user interface

This is the final step in designing our workflow, and involves setting a property on the form referenced by the document menu item, ConWHSVehicleTable, and adding the option to design workflows to the menu.

Getting ready

The minimum we need to have completed for this is create a workflow type.

How to do it...

In order to be able to design and process workflows, follow these steps:

1. Expand User interface, Menu items, and then Display from the Application Explorer. Located WorkflowConfgurationBasic, right-click on it and choose Duplicate in project.
2. Locate the new menu item in the Solution explorer, and rename it to ConWHSWorkflowConfiguration.

Note

Depending on the version of the development tools, you will need to undo the change to WorkflowConfigurationBasicCopy and then add the renamed element to source control.

3. Open the new menu item in the designer and set the Enum Parameter property to ConWHS, and then create labels for the Label and Help Text properties...
