Lesson 2 - Create an Application Using the Template Gallery

This topic demonstrates how to create a simple application with the RichEditControl using the Template Gallery. The Template Gallery allows you to select the template for the application during the creation process of the project.

  1. Click FILE | New | Project… to invoke the New Project dialog. In the invoked New Project dialog, select the DevExpress v18.2 Template Gallery pattern, and click OK.
