Single Window Applications

A single window application typically displays one execution and sequence file at a time. Users can select the execution and sequence file to display from a ListBar, ComboBox, or ListBox control. The examples in the <TestStand>\UserInterfaces\Full-Featured and <TestStand>\UserInterfaces\Simple directories are single window applications.

A single window application contains one Application Manager control, one SequenceFileView Manager control, and one ExecutionView Manager control. To display sequences, connect the SequenceFileView Manager and ExecutionView Manager controls to separate SequenceView controls, alternate a connection from each manager control to a single SequenceView control, or leave one or both manager controls unconnected to a SequenceView control.

In the examples in the Full-Featured directory, the SequenceFileView Manager control and the ExecutionView Manager control connect to separate SequenceView controls, and only one SequenceView control is visible at a time. Visibility depends on whether you select to view sequence files or executions.

In the examples in the Simple directory, the ExecutionView Manager control connects to the SequenceView control. Because the SequenceFileView Manager control does not connect to a SequenceView control, these examples display only sequences for the current execution, not sequences from the sequence file selection.
