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.

  3. (optional) If you want your application window to float above other windows, set 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.
