S Local window
This window is closed at the same time the currently displayed screen is
switched. By setting the local screen for the screen attribute, the specified
screen can be opened at the same time the screen is displayed.
Up to two local window can be opened at the same time. (Local window 1/Local
window2)
Opening, closing or moving a window can be performed by the following opera-
tions.
- Setting the screen attribute (A window pops up when the screen is displayed.)
- Touch switch operation (using input key-window/keyboard or window move
function touch switch)
- Window control area operation from the host.
It is possible to specify the window type which is used for opening a window,
therefore, the same window can be opened as a global window or as a local win-
dow. However, it is not possible to display the same window multiply using both
window types.
Reference:
With NT31/NT31C, up to 3 windows can be opened at the same time. (1 global
window and 2 local windows)
7-14-3 Window Screens and Display Elements
Using the window function, window can be created in any of the user screens,
numbered 1 to 3999 (a screen for which a window is registered is called a “window
screen”)
When a screen is registered as a window screen, the window area must be speci-
fied to set the size of the window. The window is always displayed at the “window
area” size.
In addition, window position can be specified for the screen attribute, touch switch
property or windowcontrolarea when displaying the window. The window position
can be moved later by touch switch operation or by a specification at window con-
trol area.
With NT31/NT31C, all elements other than thumbwheel switch can be registered.
However, only one temporary input field (numeral or string input) can be registered
for a window.
By setting the “background color” screen attribute for a window screen, the win-
dow can be displayed with a different background color than that of the base
screen.
Reference
- Elements that project beyond the window area will not be displayed when the
window opens.
- While a window is open, display processing is slightly delayed.
