10 CHAPTER 2. GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE<br />

¯ Clicking the left mouse button once,<br />

you are able to select window-specific components, such as menu items, iconic variables,<br />

control variables, action buttons, checkboxes, and you give the insertion focus to a specific<br />

text field. Some of these text fields comprise a combo box which you may open in the<br />

same way.<br />

Furthermore, you select (invert) text in certain windows, e.g., in the program window.<br />

With this you are able to perform the general editor functions like ÙØ, ÓÔÝ and Ô×Ø<br />

(see sections 2.3.2.2 and 2.3.3).<br />

In the program window there is an extended mode to select lines by pressing the ËØ<br />

or the ØÖÐ key during the mouse click. More than one line can be activated using<br />

the ËØ key: All lines between the last activation and the new one will become<br />

activated. The ØÖÐ key is used to active or deactivate more than one line using single<br />

mouse clicks.<br />

Clicking at an item for the second time (after a short pause) will deactivate it (e.g., lines in<br />

the program window or variables in the variable window). Similarly the activation passes<br />

to another item by clicking at it.<br />

Very important is the possibility to set the program counter (ȵ at the left side of the program<br />

window (see 2.4). By combining a mouse click with special keys you can activate<br />

further functions:<br />

– Clicking the left mouse button once while pressing the ËØ key:<br />

This places the insert cursor in the program window (see 2.4).<br />

– Clicking the left mouse button once while pressing the ØÖÐ key:<br />

The breakpoint will bet set in the program window. By performing this action once<br />

more, the breakpoint will disappear (see 2.4).<br />

¯ Clicking the left mouse button twice<br />

results in an action that will be performed with the activated item. In the program window<br />

the operator corresponding to the program line together with its parameters is displayed<br />

directly in the operator window and can then be modified.<br />

Iconic and control variables are displayed in the graphics window or in specific dialogs.<br />

2.3 Main Window<br />

The main window contains the other four <strong>HDevelop</strong> windows and possibly additional graphics<br />

windows. 1 The main window can handle <strong>HDevelop</strong> programs, manipulate the graphics output,<br />

offer all HALCON and <strong>HDevelop</strong> operators, give suggestions and help on choosing operators<br />

and manage the <strong>HDevelop</strong> windows. After starting <strong>HDevelop</strong> you will see a window configuration<br />

similar to figure 2.1.<br />

The main window comprises five areas:<br />

¯ a title bar,<br />

1 In a UNIX environment the main window comprises the program window and the operator window. It has no<br />

special Window manager functionality like in Windows NT.<br />
