Resize a popup

Resize a popup

A popup has a preset size and appears centered on the screen in
View Designer
. Popups cannot move in
View Designer
, but popups can move on the HMI device. Resize a popup to better accommodate the contents. Resizing a popup does not change the size of graphic elements on the popup. Making a popup smaller may make graphic elements on the popup appear clipped on the HMI device. You cannot make a popup smaller than one inch.
Popups do not rescale automatically when you change the HMI device size in
Project Properties
 or download the project to a differently sized HMI device.
To resize a popup
  1. In the
    Project Explorer
    , expand the
    User-Defined Screens
     folder.
  2. Double-click the popup to open the popup.
  3. On the screen, select the popup.
  4. Drag a sizing handle in a corner of the popup to resize the popup. When dragging a handle, the height and width of the popup shows in pixels. The dotted line surrounding the area outside the popup represents the screen of the HMI device. Releasing the mouse centers the popup.
    TIP:
    Tips:
    • Change the
      Height
      and
      Width
      properties in the
      Properties
      window to resize a popup.
    • Adding elements does not resize the popup. Size the popup and its elements so that all of the content on the popup appears on the HMI device.
    • Popups do not contain scroll bars.
    • You cannot rotate a popup.
