Configure the main window

The main window contains all graphical elements displayed at design time in
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
 and at runtime in your
FactoryTalk Optix Application
.
  1. In
    Project view
    , expand
    UI
     and double-click
    MainWindow (type)
    .
    The main window area displays in the editor. The main window does not contain any graphical elements.
  2. In
    Properties
    , set
    Width
     to
    1080
     and
    Height
     to
    600
    .
    The initial dimensions of the main window are now
    1080 x 600
    . At runtime, you can resize the main window at any time.
    TIP: To make the application fit your screen resolution, you can set different
    Width
     and
    Height
     values. Alternatively, you can set
    Full screen
     to
    True
    , however; it is easier to develop and preview applications with the default
    False
     settings.

    Always on Top
     to
    True
    .
  4. (optional) Set
    Caption
     to provide a custom title for your application window.
    For example, set
    Caption
     to
    Quick start application
     to replace the default window title.
