Work with frame windows

If you are working in a Standalone or Managed InTouch application, you can create and develop frame windows in addition to or in place of application windows. Frame windows enable you to host Industrial Graphics that can support pan, zoom and touch capabilities.

Frame windows support most of the same properties as application windows. However, several limitations apply.

Frame windows do not:

• support multiple Industrial Graphics

• host native InTouch controls

• host ActiveX controls

• host SmartSymbols

• support undo/redo actions for window components

• flip or rotate actions for an embedded symbol

• support cut, copy, paste or duplicate operations

• provide cross-reference support for Industrial Graphics embedded in frame windows

• support window conversion to Industrial graphics

• support creating new instances, editing instances or selecting alternate instances of embedded automation object graphics

Create a frame

1. On the File menu, select New.

   The New window with the list of Available templates appears.

   

2. Select the Frame window.

3. Configure the window properties and select OK.
