In ibaPDA, different display styles can be switched on and off via the menu command View - Display style. Available for selection are:
|
Command |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Normal |
Standard Windows frame with signal display area, toolbars, menus, signal tree window, event log, Technostring status, etc. |
|
Full client |
The signal display area (with the layouts) is expanded over the full area of the ibaPDA client window including the frame; no toolbars, menus or other windows are visible. Other Windows programs can be positioned above the ibaPDA client. When you restore the ibaPDA client window, you can still see the desktop background. |
|
Full client on top |
Equivalent to "Full client" but the ibaPDA client is always in the foreground. |
|
Full screen |
Equivalent to "Full client on top" but the signal display area covers the whole screen. The Windows task bar is also covered. |
|
Full screen on all monitors |
Equivalent to "Full screen" when using several monitors. |
|
Fixed size |
Equivalent to "Full client on top" with a fixed client size. The client size is set in the Layout Manager see the following description. |
Dispaly style “fixed size”
Open the Layout Manager via the Configuration - Layout Manager menu or via the icon 
. In the Display style node under Fixed size settings ... you can configure the client size and other settings.
With Width and Height you define the size of the client. The Hide tabs and Hide tab borders options can be used to show or hide the tabs and the tab borders. The settings here override the settings of ibaPDA in the view tab.
When the configured fixed size is smaller than the layout size then scrollbars will appear. That can be avoided by the option Hide scrollbars. In that case only the fixed size is visible and the other parts of the layout can’t be reached.
If you enable the Moveable option, the ibaPDA client can be moved on the screen with a fixed size. This only applies if there is an ibaQPanel object inside this ibaPDA client. To do this, click an empty area without an element in ibaQPanel and thus drag the entire panel.
