In the FactoryTalk View SE Client Wizard, you can also specify a docking parameter for
the initial display that runs when the client starts up.
Example: Using the Display command to dock a display after the
FactoryTalk View SE Client starts up
To dock a display named Menu to the top edge of the SE Client window after the client
starts up, create a button in the initial display that uses this command as its press action:
Display Menu /DT
When the operator presses the button, the display will attach to the top of the window.
About the appearance and behavior of docked displays
When you open a graphic display using one of the docking parameters, certain display
settings are ignored. For example, regardless of what is specified in the Display Settings
dialog box, a docked display:
 Has no borders or scroll bars.
 Has no title bar (and therefore no minimize, maximize, or close buttons).
 Cannot be undocked or moved.
 Cannot be resized, independent of the FactoryTalk View SE Client window.
If a graphic display is set up to pan or scale, to allow multiple running copies, or to cache
after displaying, these settings will still apply when the display is docked.
Docking multiple displays in the same position
You can also run more than one docked display in the same position, if the additional
displays are the Overlay or On Top type.
For example, if you use /DT to dock a menu to the top of the client window, and then use
/DT to open another display, as long as the second display is of the type Overlay or On
Top type, it will run directly beneath the first.
The Display command parameters /B, /Min., /Max, /X, and /Y are ignored when specified with
a docking parameter. For more information, see the FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.
Changing the width of the client window changes the width of displays docked at the top or
bottom of the window. Changing the height of the window changes the height of displays
docked at the left or right.
