Resize a
View 5000 Client
 window

Resize a
View 5000 Client
 window on the HMI device. Resizing the window resizes the window size specific for the project and scales the content according to the application settings of the project properties.
  • Resize the
    View 5000 Client
     window in one of three ways:
    • On the title bar of the client window, select Maximize
      Maximize
      . The client window expands to the maximum window size specified for the project.
    • Press
      F11
      . The client window expands to the full screen of the server and the title bar for the
      View 5000 Client
       window no longer appears. Pressing
      F11
      again reverts the client window to its previous size and redisplays the title bar at the top of the client window.
    • Position the insertion point at the edge or corner of the client window until a two-headed arrow appears and then drag to resize the window. The client window reaches a minimum size when dragging where the content is still readable.
      TIP:
      Tips:
      • Values in elements continue to update when you resize the
        View 5000 Client
         window and the elements remain centered.
      • Resizing the
        View 5000 Client
         window scales the content based in the
        Application
        settings in
        View Designer
         under
        Project > Properties
         for the target HMI device for a project:
        • Scale with fixed aspect ratio.
           (Default) Content resizes to fill the window as much as possible and the shape of the content is not impacted. Squares and circles do not elongate into rectangles and ellipses. Screen content is anchored in the middle of the window. Any extra space is added evenly around the content.
        • Stretch to fit.
          Content resizes to fill the window as much as possible and the shape of content is impacted. As you resize the window from wider or narrower and vice versa, squares and circles are elongated into rectangles and ellipses. Wrapped text may wrap at different word boundaries.
        • Do not scale.
           Content retains the same size, shape, and position. If you make the
          View 5000 Client
           window smaller than it was originally, content may appear evenly at each window border. Screen content is anchored at the middle of the window.
      • When resizing a
        View 5000 Client
         window, popups maintain their size, unless the window is smaller than the popup. In this case, popups scale to fit in the window.
      • Popups in a resized window maintain their relative positions. A popup in the center of the window will remain in this position.
