Configure the main window

The main window contains all graphical elements displayed at design time in
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
and at runtime in your
FactoryTalk Optix Application
.
  1. In
    Project view
    , expand
    UI
    and double-click
    MainWindow (type)
    .
    The main window area displays in the editor. The main window does not contain any graphical elements.
  2. In
    Properties
    , set
    Width
    to
    1080
    and
    Height
    to
    600
    .
    The initial dimensions of the main window are now
    1080 x 600
    . At runtime, you can resize the main window at any time. For more information about sizing, see Size conventions.
    TIP: To make the application fit your screen resolution, you can set different
    Width
    and
    Height
    values. Alternatively, you can set
    Full screen
    to
    True
    , however; it is easier to develop and preview applications with the default
    False
    settings.

  3. (optional) If you want your application window to float above other windows, set
    Always on Top
    to
    True
    .
  4. (optional) Set
    Caption
    to provide a custom title for your application window.
    For example, set
    Caption
    to
    Quick start application
    to replace the default
    FTOptixRuntime
    window title.
