Command: Choose Active Application

Symbol: _cds_icon_choose_active_application.png

The command is implemented as a list box from which you can set an application active. By default, the list box is located on the toolbar.

Function: The list box displays the active application with its device path.

Call: The list box contains all applications which are organized in the “Devices” view. By clicking an entry in the list box, you enable the selected application.

Requirement: The project has multiple applications.

Example

_cds_img_device_path.png
_cds_img_cmd_choose_active_application.png

When you call commands in the “Build” or “Online” menus, these commands are applied to the active application. This is displayed in the list box and displayed again in bold in the device tree. Above all, this applies to the “Build  Generate Code” and “Online  Login” commands.

You can also access these commands by means of the command icons on the toolbar where the list box is located. When the command icons are called, they are also applied to the active application.

However, if you call a command from the context menu of a device object in the device tree, then the command is applied to the corresponding object. For example, you can click the _cds_icon_login.png icon to establish a connection to an application on the device which is not active.
