Using the template

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

The Icetips Window Fixer is very simple to implement.  A single Global extension template does all the work for you.  Note that the template will only fix the window position when the window opens.

 

First make sure that the Icetips Window Fixer template is registered by opening the template registry.

 

Template_Registry

 

Then open your application and add the global template.

 

Global_Extension_WindowFixer_Adding

 

Template_Extension_Global_Options

 

Normally this is all you need!

 

Class name

You can change the name of the class that is instanciated in each window procedure in your application.

 

Force pulling windows to nearest monitor

You can also force windows to be pulled to the nearest monitor.  This setting only applies to windows that are on one or more monitors.  Windows that are partially outside of the virtual screen area will always be pulled in.

 

Pull windows when percent outside is > than

You can set a percent value so that if x% or more is outside of the monitor(s) viewable area, the window will be pulled. in.  For example if you set it to 25% then any window that has more than 25% of it's rectangle outside of the virtual screen will be pulled in to be fully visible on the nearest monitor.  Note that this option is only applicable when the "Force pulling windows no nearest monitor" is unchecked.  If it is checked, windows are always pulled in.

 

Generate No Code

You can optionally check the "Generate No Code" and then the template will not generate any code at all in your application.

 

Exclude Procedures

On the "Exclude Procedures" you can select procedures that you do not want to apply this template to.

 

Template_Extension_Global_Exclude

 

To exclude a procedure, simply click once on the list of procedures.  Click again to unselect.
