Specify a Default Start Frame
When you run a Vision application, Vision calls the top frame of the application flow diagram as the default start frame, unless you (or the user) specify a different frame. The following table describes the ways in which you can change the default start frame:
Method
Effect
Specify a different default start frame in the Application Defaults window. (You access this window by selecting MoreInfo in the Application Catalog window, then selecting Defaults.)
Vision uses the frame that you specify in the Application Defaults window as the start frame each time a user runs the application, unless you override it with one of the methods described below.
Create a command that contains a default start frame specification. (This method is described in Creating a Command for an Imaged Application.)
The default start frame that you specify is called each time a user enters the command. You can specify commands with different default start frames for different users.
This method gives you the most control over the way in which users access the application.
Allow users to specify a default start frame when they call the application. (They do this by including the frame name with the executable image name.)
This method is the most flexible for users, but gives you the least control over the way in which users access the application.
