Oh great!!
showDescription works fine, but showDescriptionAtStartUp doesnt work!! i`m using the latest version, i download after saw your aswer, and i try to put the method in INICIALIZATION page, but doesnt compile!!

 

am i using wrong or need to do anything else to use the method showDescriptionAtStartUp ??

 

just another question, using showDescription (and showDescriptionAtStartUp in the future) can i choose what tab of DESCRIPTION will be opened in foreground ??

 

thanks for the help !!

Proposed solution
This is an interesting issue!

Showing/Hiding the description can be done with the line:
_simulation.showDescription(true)
and
_simulation.showDescription(false)
Hence, you can add a button and use the first of these lines in the button Action property to show the description.
Alas, the description shows in full. You cannot select only one of the pages.
However, there was no method to tell the simulation NOT to display the description on start up.

Resolution
I have thus added one such method.

_simulation.showDescriptionAtStartUp(false);
will now do the trick. But you need to update to the latest EJS. (This was written on June 7th, 2009.)

 

To show a single page, you may use a TextArea if the instructions are plain text. If you need HTML, you will need to create the page yourself using plain Java code. Such as using a javax.swing.JEditorPane.
