Window Container

Window Containers allow you to control how the ViewX client displays on a Multi-Monitor setup. Each Window Container hosts specific components of the client interface on a particular monitor, creating a distributed arrangement that displays in the same way each time ViewX opens.

The Startup Configuration File defines the number of Window Containers that are included in a Multi-Monitor setup, and associates each Window Container with one of the monitors detected by the Windows operating system. It also defines any documents that display automatically in each Window Container when you start ViewX.

There are two types of Window Container:

A Multi-Monitor setup can include one Primary Window Container, and up to 5 Secondary Window Containers.

All Window Containers include the following:

If the Window Container is displayed in Full Screen mode, only the Log On/Log Off commands will appear.

The Close button is only visible in the Primary Window Container and will close all of the Window Containers associated with that ViewX client and will then exit the ViewX client.

If required, you can use the Confirm ViewX Close option to display a confirmation dialog when the Close button is used (see Miscellaneous Options for ViewX Clients).

With a Multi-Monitor setup, the Alarm Banner can be displayed in one or more Windows Containers.
