Create the InTouch Window

First, configure InTouch WindowMaker with the ActiveX controls as described previously in this chapter. Create a window and drop a BatchGuiConfig control on it.

Tip: BatchGuiConfig buttons may appear very large on the screen. After you determine a usable size by resizing the control, you can use the InTouch Duplicate feature to create additional instances of the button and then configure each as the button type you require.

If you are running InTouch on the AVEVA Batch Management Server, you do not need to configure the control for the host name. If the AVEVA Batch Management Server is running on another machine, you must configure the Host1 property of the BatchGuiConfig control to the node name of the Batch Server. If the Host1 property is left blank, then the local node is assumed to be the Batch Server.

To Add the Schedule BatchList Control

1. Drop a BatchList control onto the window and double-click it to open the property page.

2. Select the BatchList tab.

3. Open the ScheduleEdit folder in the tree view.

4. Select the Schedule list.

5. Click Apply.

   The BatchList control configures itself as a Schedule list, complete with column headings.
