Edit a stand-alone application

Open the standalone application from the InTouch Application Manager and edit it in WindowMaker.

This section provides the basic steps to build the application you just created.

The following figure shows a run-time window from a simple application that combines and mixes the ingredients to make liquid fertilizer.

To edit an application

1. Open InTouch HMI Application Manager.

2. Double-click on the Liquid Fertilizer application to edit it. If you are in the Icons view, hover over the application tile, and click WindowMaker.

   The application opens in WindowMaker.

   The first time you open an InTouch application in WindowMaker no windows have been created.

3. Right-click on Windows in the Windows panel and select New Window.

4. Select a template from the Available templates section. For this example, we recommend that you select the Native window template which allows multiple graphics to be added to the window. A frame window allows adding only one graphic to the window.

5. In the Properties panel, assign "Mixers" as the name of the window in the Name field.

   

6. Set the width and height of the window by entering values in the Window Width and Window Height fields.

7. Change the default background of the window to a lighter color by clicking Window Color and selecting a color from the Color dialog.

   The window you created appears in WindowMaker. Continue with the next procedure to add application graphics to the window.
