3-4 Display and Control of Windows
A window means a partial screen that can be displayed on the presently dis-

A window can be created by registering a screen under a screen number from 1
to 3999 as a window screen.
This section describes the following types of operation that can be performed for
a window.
• Opening/closing/moving a window
• Checking the display status of a window
• Disabling/enabling the opening of a window
Reference:  Window screen is called window/keyboard screen at the Support Tool.

The PT provides the following methods to open/close/move a window.
• Pressing a touch switch that has the input key-window/keyboard function.
(Opening/closing are possible)
• Pressing a touch switch that has the cursor moving key function. (window
opening only)
• Pressing a touch switch that has the window moving key function. (window
moving only)
• Controlling the window by the operation of the window control area from the
host (Window opening/closing/moving are possible)
• Setting Load Local 1 (Keyboard), Load Local 2 screen attribute for a standard
screen and perform screen switch. (window opening only)
Reference:  If 1 (disable) is set for the window opening PT status control bit, it is not pos-
sible to open a window by operation at the PT. (Closing of a window is al-
lowed.)
 Touch switch operation will be disabled when the touch switch interlock func-
tion is being used and the host’s interlock bit that controls the touch switch’s
operation is OFF. (See Disabling Touch Switches with Interlock Bits on page
368 for details.)
 If the window for which open is specified is not a window screen, the window
open command is disregarded.
 When creating a screen with the Support Tool, it is possible to designate a win-
dow that is opened at the same time the screen is displayed (set with the Load
Window/Keyboard Screen attribute of Screen Property).
