Implement an Extensible Application

Use the following procedures to build a simple, extensible application. As a result, you will have an app you can enhance and customize without rebuilding.

• Setting Up a New Project
  Set up a new project for an extensible application.
• Adding the Required MAF Dependencies
  Before you add MAF styling and extensibility, you must add the required static libraries and headers to the project.
• Defining the Extensibility Metadata XML
  The Extensibility Framework relies on metadata stored in an XML file to build its UIs and perform data bindings at runtime.
• Your First Extensible App
  Get the tutorial extensible app running.
• Displaying Text
  Enhance the app with text.
• Adding Custom Code
  The Extensibility Framework does not impose any restrictions on developers: you can mix custom code with extensibility features.
• Adding Custom Styling
  You can replace the default styles with custom ones.
• Working with Data
  Feed the label with data from an OData stream.
• Using Expressions
  This example adds a label that displays the current date and time.
