● Output. Anchored below in the main window.
● Extended batch information. Floating in BatchCC.
Floating windows can be docked by double-clicking on the title bar. Click on the title bar of a
window and hold down the left mouse button. The window positioning boxes are displayed. In
order to place any window, drag a window box to one of these positions and then release the
mouse button. In order to display several windows in an area as a tab, drag a window to the
positioning box at the center and release the pressed mouse button.
Note
The output window in BatchCC for WinCC messages is only updated if there is a running
WinCC application on the same PC (OS server or OS client). In all other cases, you can open
the output window but messages are not output.
Title bar
The title bar of the main window contains the system buttons with which you can:
● exit BatchCC,
● minimize the main window to its icon,
● restore the window to its normal size again, and
● display the main window in full-screen size.
Menu bar
The menu bar is located at the top edge of the main window. Its functions relate to the currently
active window. You can only select menu commands that are feasible in the current status of
the object. As an example, you can only select the menu command Edit > Delete when at least
one object is selected. Menu items that cannot be selected are displayed in gray.
Toolbar
The toolbar is located below the menu bar. It contains a series of buttons that trigger the more
commonly required functions of the menu bar. You can see which function is triggered by a
button in the toolbar by positioning the mouse pointer on the button (without clicking). A box
appears with the name of the button. In the status bar, you can see more detailed information
about the function. Clicking the button triggers the function. Buttons that cannot be selected
are displayed in gray.
Status bar
At the lower edge of the user interface, you will see the status bar that displays important
information and statuses. The information displayed changes depending on the particular
operation and object status. In some situations, a progress indicator is also displayed in the
status bar for processes that require longer.
In the left part of the status bar, you will see context-sensitive information, for example
explanations of menu commands, operator prompts or error messages.
