Tutorial: Hello world!

In this tutorial you learn how to create a simple Kanzi application that includes C++ application code. While you can create a lot of the UI logic for your Kanzi applications in Kanzi Studio, when you want to get most out of Kanzi, you have to use the Kanzi Engine through the Kanzi API.

In this tutorial you learn how to create a Kanzi project that includes everything required to add C++ application code to your project. In the application code you create a Kanzi application that prints Hello world! when your Kanzi application loads. In the first step you print Hello world! to the Kanzi debug console, while in the second step you set a property of an object to print Hello world! in your application.

This image shows the result of the tutorial.
