Control Floating Windows

You can use a Startup Configuration File to control floating windows in ViewX. The CanFloatWindows configuration flag allows you enable or disable floating windows in ViewX (see XML Elements).

NOTICE

unexpected behavior OF APPLICATION

Startup Configuration files are intended only for use on ViewX clients that are required to launch Geo SCADA Expert on a Multi-Monitor setup, and/or have customized Window Container behavior.
Do not use Startup Configuration files on Virtual ViewX clients, as these clients only support a single monitor setup, and do not support the same customized behavior. Using a Startup Configuration file on such a client could result in unexpected behavior. (Startup Configuration files are not supported, and are ignored, on Original WebX clients.)
Failure to follow these instructions can result in inoperable equipment.

Enable Floating Windows

When you enable floating windows, (CanFloatWindows="true"), you can move documents and other displays, such as configuration forms, out from within the Primary or Secondary Window Container. You can also move document windows and tool windows around within a Window Container and from one Window Container to another.

In ViewX, you can float tool windows within and outside of the Primary Window Container and can move those floating tool windows over other Window Containers. However, you can only dock tool windows within the Primary Window Container.

Disable Floating Windows

When you disable floating windows, (CanFloatWindows="false"), you can only change the docked position of a display, such as a document or configuration Form, within a Window Container or move that document window between Primary and Secondary Window Containers. You can dock a document window within the Primary or a Secondary Window Container. You can only change the docked position of a tool window within the Primary Window Container (this is regardless of whether you can float or only dock windows).
