Using the Application Explorer

The Application Explorer has tabbed sections for Windows/ Supertags, Scripts/ Tools, and Industrial Graphic Toolbox. Like other toolbars, they can be opened or closed, pinned or docked. By default, the panes appear in the positions shows in the illustration below.

These views give you access to all application windows, scripts, configuration menus, the Tagname Dictionary, and wizards.

Docking the Panes

Each of these panes can be moved around and docked in the left, right, top, and bottom positions of the the screen. To dock a pane, click on the header of the pane. The cursor turns into a two-sided arrow. Drag and dock the pane anywhere on the screen.

You can also use the navigation aid to dock the floating panes. In a particular position on the screen:

• Click the upward arrow to dock the pane towards the top of the screen.

• Click the downward arrow to dock the pane towards the bottom of the screen.

• Click the right arrow to dock the pane towards the right-side of the screen.

• Click the left arrow to dock the pane towards the left-side of the screen.

The panes can be docked vertically as well as horizontally.

When the position of a pane is changed, the customization is retained even after the closing and reopening the WindowMaker.

The changes to the position and docking of the panes is stored in the DockSettings.xml. If you face any issues with the navigation after changing the dock settings, do the following:

1. Close WindowMaker.

2. Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Wonderware.

3. Locate the file DockSettings.xml and delete it.

4. Open WindowMaker again.
