You can import an existing InTouch application to use as a managed InTouch application. You do this in two steps:

  • Create an InTouchViewApp object to associate with the imported InTouch application.

  • Import the InTouch application.

The imported InTouch application becomes a managed InTouch application.

The IDE creates a copy of the existing InTouch application in a folder that it manages. The IDE leaves the existing InTouch application and location unchanged.

If the version of the InTouch application you are importing is 6.0 or above, a conversion message appears. The application is converted before it is opened in WindowMaker. InTouch applications versions before 6.0 cannot be converted.

Import an InTouch application into a Galaxy

  1. Open the IDE.

  2. In the Template Toolbox, derive a template from the $InTouchViewApp base template.

  3. Open the derived template. The InTouchViewApp Initialization dialog box appears.

  4. Highlight Import Existing Application and select Next.

  5. Locate the InTouch application. Do any of the following:

    • Select the ellipsis button to browse for the folder that contains the managed InTouch application.

    • To search for the application, select the Find applications checkbox. Specify a search root for the search to begin and select Find. Select the InTouch application from the list.

  6. Select Next.

  7. If needed, type a new name in the Application Name box and a description in the Description box. The name and description appear in the Application Manager when the managed InTouch application is deployed.

  8. Select the application target resolution different than the default screen resolution option. Options for this field are viewable as follows:

    1. Select the Select target resolution dropdown menu to view a list of predefined target resolutions.

    2. Select the Select target resolution dropdown menu and select Custom. The Pixel width and height fields will become editable.

      Note: If a different target resolution is selected when importing an existing application, then there will be no application resolution conversion from the source application resolution to the target resolution.

  9. Select Next. The next panel appears and shows you the import progress.

  10. Select Close. InTouch WindowMaker is started and you can edit the InTouch application as a managed InTouch application.

Importing Standalone InTouch Applications with Graphics

If the Standalone InTouch application being converted to a Managed application contains graphics, the application is imported, but the graphics are not imported.

Import the graphics contained within the Standalone application

  1. Export the Standalone application as a template.

  2. Save the template in the application template location.

  3. In the IDE, create a new $InTouchViewApp derived template by selecting this created application template.
