Creating a Standalone Application

All configuration steps to use Industrial Graphics are completed from InTouch WindowMaker. You do not need to use the IDE to create a standalone application. When you are creating a window for an application, you simply drag Industrial Graphics or Situational Awareness Library symbols directly from WindowMaker’s Industrial Graphic Toolbox into a window.

To create a standalone application

You create a Standalone InTouch HMI application from InTouch Application Manager.

1. Click Start on your Windows desktop and search for InTouch HMI Application Manager.

2. Select New by one of the following methods:

   1. Select New from the File menu.

   2. Right-click within Application Manager and select New from the shortcut menu.

   3. Select the New icon from the menu bar.

   4. Press the Ctrl + N keys.

   The Create New Application wizard appears.

3. Select a Template, and click Next .

   The Enter Application Details page displays the fields to enter the application name, directory name, application path, application target resolution and description.

4. Enter the details and specify a target resolution if different than the default screen resolution. Name the application Chocolate Milk.

   1. Select from a list of predefined target resolutions or select Custom. The Pixel width and height fields become editable.

5. Click Finish.

After an application is created, it appears in Application Manager’s list of applications. The Application Type column identifies the application as Standalone.
