1.2 Running the Tutorial Application

Having created the tutorial application, the next step is to run it to see how a newly-generated application appears and operates. Your new "Tutorial" application should appear in the VAM's Available Applications list and should be highlighted in blue to indicate it is the selected application. (Figure 6)

1.  Click the Run button.

VTS begins to load the application components necessary to the operation of your new application. While these components are loading, a load progress dialog is displayed (Figure 7).

Figure 7

The loading process takes several seconds, after which the Display Manager opens and your first application page is displayed (Figure 8).

 

Figure 8

The Display Manager automatically opens to your first application page. Take a moment to observe its appearance.

 

Take note that the VAM is now hidden, but should still be accessible from the Windows task bar at the bottom of your screen.

 

In the following exercise, you will learn how to change the properties of an application page. To do so, we will access the Configuration Toolbox and its Page Manager tool.
