Note

• In order for submodules of a module to be opened as well, the Main module parameter must be activated in this module.
  • I.e. if the Main module parameter is deactivated for a module to which submodules are assigned, or if the module is opened as a submodule via Python, the submodules of the module are not opened.

DI001382 Release

DI001788 Zoom W1 - W3

DI001958 Width W1

Width of window 1 The value specified here, is a size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W1= Width W1:(Width W1+Width W2+Width W3).

Example

• Width W1=20, Width W2=20, Width W3=40 means that window 1 and 2 take 1/4 and window 3 takes half of the total screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1=100, Width W2=100, Width W3=200

Notes

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window is visible and its size corresponds to the total screen size.
• If the Width W1 field is filled but has no Window = 1 in the module, window 1 is displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much window space after width calculation, the window width is adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows in addition.
  • I.e. If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
    • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 result in a window split of 50% / 50%, but window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 is adjusted to a width of 25%.

DI001959 Width W2

Width of window 2 The value specified here, is a size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W2= Width W2:(Width W1+Width W2+Width W3).

Example

• Width W1=20, Width W2=20, Width W3=40 means that window 1 and 2 take 1/4 and window 3 takes half of the total screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1=100, Width W2=100, Width W3=200

Notes

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window is visible and its size corresponds to the total screen size.
• If the Width W1 field is filled but has no Window = 1 in the module, window 2 is displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much window space after width calculation, the window width is adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows in addition.
  • I.e. If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
    • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 result in a window split of 50% / 50%, but window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 is adjusted to a width of 25%.

DI001960 Width W3

Width of window 3 The value specified here, is a size specification. The value merely serves to calculate the window width, i.e. the window share of the total screen width.

Details

• The calculation is done as follows: Share W3= Share W3:(Share W1+Width W2+Width W3).

Example

• Width W1=20, Width W2=20, Width W3=40 means that window 1 and 2 take 1/4 and window 3 takes half of the total screen.
  • The same relation can also be reached through other absolute numbers. E.g. Width W1=100, Width W2=100, Width W3=200

Notes

• If an arbitrary numeric value is specified for one of the three windows, this means that only the respective window is visible and its size corresponds to the total screen size.
• If the Width W3 field is filled but has no Window = 3 data field in the module, window 3 is displayed (empty) anyway.
• In order to prevent too much window space after width calculation, the window width is adjusted to the width of the actually displayed windows in addition.
  • I.e. If the required width is less than the width due to the shares specified, the width of the windows is adjusted to the width actually required. If the required width is greater, the width is displayed according to the shares.
    • Example: if the values in Width W1 and Width W2 result in a window split of 50% / 50%, but window 1 only requires 25% due to the width of the displayed data fields, window 1 is adjusted to a width of 25%.

DI028114 Product logo

In this field, a product logo for the current module is stored.

Details

• When new modules are created, this field is filled with the 000704 Logo: Project default product logo by default. It is controlled via the @G197 global variable.
• If a new product logo is employed system wide, this field is filled with the ID of the new logo in all existing modules. The new modules are preset with the new logo as a default logo.

Information

• The product logo is an OLE Object.
• The product logo is displayed in the upper corner of the screen, next to the menu and symbol bars.

DI026175 Background symbol

In this parameter, a background symbol can be assigned to modules and a frame symbol can be assigned to listboxes.

Note

• The blue color of the listbox frames in the standard has the symbol ID 001975.

DI056952 Python module sub-class

In this parameter, the path to the existing Python module subclass is stored.

Details

• On part of Python, a module can be an instance of a particular class instead of the module standard class.
  • The module takes over all methods from the module sub-class.
  • Thus, methods that are required in several modules do not have to be defined in the macro of each individual module but in a single module sub-class. This sub-class is then assigned to the modules.
• The directories in the path must not be separated by "/" or "\", but by ".".
• The path is related to the Python directory of the server installation,
• It is recommended to store the module sub-class in the "ppms.module_sub-classes" directory.
