The scroll bars will remain on the window, even if subsequent displays are small enough
that scroll bars are not needed.

To minimize the need for scroll bars, the FactoryTalk View SE Client tries to position all
graphic displays within its main window, unless this placement is explicitly overridden by
the /X and /Y parameters of the Display command.

To prevent scroll bars, create all graphic displays smaller than the working area in the
FactoryTalk View SE Client main window.

Keep in mind that the size of the working area depends on several factors: the monitor’s
display resolution, whether the display has a title bar, the size of the client window, and
whether the client shows the Diagnostics List.

To ensure that the FactoryTalk View SE Client main window never has scroll bars, for
large displays, select the option, Size to Main Window at Runtime.

Specifying the display’s position

Instead of setting up a graphic display to use its current size and position, you can specify
an exact size and position for the display at run time.

If you do this, you can override the display settings by using size and position parameters
with the Display command. For details, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.

Securing the graphic display

To restrict access to a graphic display, select a security code. For more information about
securing displays, see Chapter 5, Setting up security.

Selecting the background color

Select the background color for the graphic display from the color palette.

Using gradient style

If you want the background to have a gradient look, select the Use gradient style check
box. When selected, clicking the background color shows the gradient fill effects dialog
box.

Tracking screens for navigation

You can include displays in the navigation history by selecting the Track Screen for
Navigation
check box. When you select this check box, a text box is enabled where you

, to avoid scroll bars. Instead, position smaller displays so that they are completely
visible within the client window.
