disabling the Title Bar on Popup Screens

Post by mmarchese »

I tried the tip in the FAQ post below (I selected "No title bar"), but it didn't seem to change anything. My pop ups still have a blue bar at the top with a red X on the far right that closes them. Where did I go wrong?

How do I disable the Title Bar on Popup Screens?

Take a look at this forum post for your answer on how to handle popup window title bars. The setting you are referring to is the title bar for the entire application, not a specific popup.

Oh, that worked.

So what is being accomplished in the FAQ post I referenced?

It will only remove the Title bar from the Main Window/Form (that´s showing your "normal" screens), when you create a popup it will create a new window and it´s not affected by this setting...

For me, there isn't a title bar on normal screens regardless of which of those options I choose. I think I'm missing something here. Thanks anyway.

From what you guys have said, it seems like that post has nothing to do with pop ups, so I would think the title should be changed (from "How do I disable the Title Bar on Popup Screens?").

Here is two screen shots from a build to a T10A.

First with the option "Title Bar" selected.

Second with "No Title Bar" option selected.

There you have the difference...

Ah, I see. So we're talking about the title bar on the emulator window within the iX developer rather than something on your actual HMI. I never would have guessed that from the post's title. I'm surprised that's a frequently asked question. Anyways, thanks for taking the time to clear that up. Sorry for the trouble.

Well this depends if your build is for a Panel or a PC.

iX is design to run on both so some settings is panel relevant and some a pc relevant.
