Create and run a stand-alone application

Create a Standalone InTouch HMI application from InTouch Application Manager. Use WindowMaker to build and edit a stand-alone application. Use the IDE only to create managed applications.

Note: You can convert a stand-alone application to a managed application at a later stage of developing your application.

To create a standalone application

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.

   Select a template containing graphics rather than an empty template. This gives you access to the Industrial Graphics that will be included and configured in the stand-alone application.

   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 Liquid Fertilizer.

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

5. Click Finish.

After you create an application, it appears in Application Manager’s list of applications. The Application Type column identifies the application as Standalone. In the following steps, you'll edit the application.
