Creating Windows 129
4. Place the function key object onto the popup window.
 Placing a Close window function key onto a full-size base screen will not work. To close a direct window, turn
off the controlling bit. To close an indirect window, write a 0 to the controlling register.
Using the Common Window
Your project might require that some data be displayed on the HMI screen at all times, regardless of which window(s)
are displayed. For example, you may want to display a company logo on the HMI screen at all times, or you may want
to display some critical data or an alarm message which should be seen no matter what windows are displayed.
Using base windows to display this information requires that you configure every full screen base window with the
same graphics object. The common window however, is a predefined window in the HMI that you can enable to
display this information. When created, the common window always operates in the background as a full screen
window that overlays any full screen base window displayed.
 It may be desirable to use the Common Window but temporarily hide it when developing the project.
The button on the Standard Toolbar toggles the visibility of objects on the Common Window.
Whenever you create a new project, the common window (Window #4) is automatically created.

To access the common window:
1. From the Window menu, select Open Window. The Open Window dialog box appears.
2. Highlight Window #4, Common Window and click Settings. The Window Setting dialog box appears.
