Controls how floating windows are managed between Window Containers (see Control Floating Windows). The options are:

• true - this allows windows to be floated outside of Window Containers. This is the default setting.
• false - this restricts windows to existing Window Containers. The windows can be moved between Window Containers but cannot be placed outside of any Window Container.

It is expected that this option would be used for multi-head control-room clients.

String

(DockedTop, DockedBottom, Fill)

This specifies the position of the Alarm Banner within each Window Container. The banner can be docked at the top or the bottom. The Fill setting allows the banner to fill the whole Window Container. For more information, see Launch the Alarm Banner in Fill Container Mode. A Window Container on which the Fill option is used is omitted from the list of Window Containers that are offered when users select certain options from the context-sensitive menu on the Database Bar or Operator Documents Bar (see Ability to Specify the Window Container in which to Display or Edit a Document).

If you omit this attribute the Alarm Banner is displayed only in the Primary Window Container.

This attribute allows you to define the Windows Container for which the Alarm Banner settings are saved. The options are:

• true - this can only be specified for one Window Container and must be included if the AlarmBannerDisplayState attribute is used.
• false - if one Window Container is specified as true any other Window Containers should be set to false. The default is false if not specified.

This attribute needs to be set if an AlarmBannerDisplayState attribute has been defined for any Window Container.

Specifies a unique name to reference the Window Container. Only used on the SecondaryWindowContainer element, as the Primary Window Container uses the name 'Primary'.

The name must be between 1 and 32 characters in length.

The name should be short but meaningful. It appears alongside certain context-sensitive menu options that users can select from the Database Bar or Operator Documents Bar (see Ability to Specify the Window Container in which to Display or Edit a Document).

This attribute is retained for backward compatibility. We recommend that you use the MonitorOrigin attribute, rather than this attribute, in your Startup Configuration files.

The attribute indicates on which monitor the Window Container will display. The number reflects the order that is returned by the Windows API call 'EnumDisplayMonitors'.

The minimum valid value is 1.

For an example that demonstrates the use of this attribute, see 'Define Primary and Secondary Window Containers' in Startup Configuration File.

Defines the origin (top-left coordinate, in pixels) of the monitor on which the Window Container is to display.

For a Window Container to appear on the primary monitor (the one on which the Start menu appears in Windows), you have to specify:
0,0

The origins (top-left coordinates) of other monitors are in pixels relative to the position of the primary monitor. The attribute uses standard x,y notation where x defines the horizontal position, and y defines the vertical position. Use a negative value to define the origin of a monitor that is positioned to the left, or above, the primary monitor. Use a positive value to define the origin of a monitor that is positioned to the right, or below the primary monitor. For an example that demonstrates the use of this attribute, see 'Define Primary and Secondary Window Containers' in Startup Configuration File.

To determine the MonitorOrigin coordinates that apply to the secondary monitors on a ViewX client, you can use the Display settings in Windows. Alternatively, you can search the ViewX log file for [MonitorInfo]. A separate entry is included for each monitor that is connected at that time, detailing the screen's origin value (the top-left coordinate, in pixels). For information about displaying a ViewX log file, see ViewX and Virtual ViewX Logging.

When using this attribute, ensure that you include it within all Primary and SecondaryWindowContainer elements that exist in your Startup Configuration file. ViewX will display a diagnostic message if the attribute is specified for some, but not all, Window Containers in a Startup Configuration file.

If the MonitorOrigin attribute is omitted altogether from a Startup Configuration file, ViewX will determine the monitor allocation based on the Monitor attribute instead (if that attribute is included in the Startup Configuration file).

If both the MonitorOrigin and Monitor attributes are included in a Startup Configuration file, ViewX will ignore the Monitor attribute settings.

Specifies the destination Window Container for all navigation commands. For example, if the user follows a hyperlink, then the linked page will display in the Window Container named in this parameter. This attribute is designed to redirect an open document request so that the target document appears in another Window Container.

To specify the Primary Window Container, enter 'Primary'.

To specify a Secondary Window Container, enter the Name that is assigned to that Window Container (as defined using the Name attribute, described above).

String

(Maximized, Restored, FullScreen)

Controls the initial window mode of the Window Container. For information on full screen mode, see Launch a Window Container in Full Screen Mode.

String

(HideRibbon, HideQAT, HideAllMenus)

Controls whether the ViewX ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar appear on the Primary and Secondary screens. Enter one of the following strings within the PrimaryWindowContainer element:

HideRibbon—This hides the ViewX ribbon and all tabs on the Primary screen.

HideQAT—This hides the Quick Access Toolbar on the Primary and Secondary screen.

HideAllMenus—This hides the ViewX ribbon and Quick Access Toolbar on the Primary and Secondary screen.

Defines the position (based on the top-left corner) of the Window Container, relative to the monitor it is on. Applies regardless of the DisplayMode, as even when maximized or in
full screen mode the Window Container may be manually changed to the restored state by the user.

If the position specified results in the bottom right corner of the Window Container being outside of the monitor's work area, the position will be adjusted. If the position is not specified, the Window Container will be centered in the monitor's work area.

Defines the size of the Window Container. Applies regardless of the DisplayMode, as even when maximized or in
full screen mode the Window Container may be manually changed to the restored state by the user.

If the size is greater than the monitor's work area, the window will resize to fit. If the size is not specified, the Window Container will be sized to half the monitor's work area.

To support backward compatibility, this parameter identifies the Window Container with a head number (see Assign a Head Number to a Window Container).

If the head number is not specified, the system will automatically assign a number based upon the Window Container order in the configuration file.

The range is 1 to 16 inclusive.

When set to true, the Window Container is reset to the settings specified in the configuration file. This attribute is only allowed on SecondaryWindowContainer elements, as moving or changing the main application window on logon would be visually distracting.

For an example that demonstrates the use of this attribute, see Startup Configuration File.
