Barco – Apollo – DOC-3197-2 – user's manual – Revision 08 – November 2006
7.3.8.3 Overview: Viewer
Lists only launched viewers regardless of how the viewers were launched, whether together
with a layout, a shortcut on the Display Wall, or the command interface.
Click on a viewer name in the workspace (right mouse button) to open the context menu. The
context menu includes the Properties menu item used to open the Properties dialog box to
control the device.
This allows you access to the viewer control functionality, cf. Controlling Viewers.
Use the Explorer.ini file to define additional menu items for the context menu.
Customization of the context menu also allows to define commands that are active even
when multiple devices are selected at once. This makes it possible, for example, to hide or
show the contents of all viewer windows with just one mouse click.
7.4 Source Tree View
Since Apollo 1.9 the Apollo Explorer provides a separate window with a second tree view listing all available
viewer sources. The window is displayed / hidden via the command button on the bottom of the object tree
labled Tree view for viewer sources.
Via drag and drop, a source listed in the tree view can be assigned to a viewer, cf. Working with the Remote Desktop.
