Hi,

Just wondering how i can remove the frame of my panels, when I open any panel as window or pop-up.

From the help file I found out that it can be done via windowFlags / FramelessWindowHint. But how to do that, I am not sure.?

Can any one help me on that.?

Secondly how I can resize my standard face plate. Is is some thing defined int he hook function.?

thanks

Ilyas.

"windowFlags" is the property of a panel. It can be set using setValue like setting the property of an object.
E.g. in the Initilaize event of the panel: setValue("","windowFlags","FramelessWindowHint");

Concerning your question to resize a panel.
Shall the user be able to resize the panel or do you want to it via CTRL code?

Hi Leopold,

Thanks for that , yes it did work.

I want to fix the faceplate size form the CTRL, but couldn't find out where its been defined in the hook functions. I building a project specific library based upon stdlib.

Ilyas.

With the CTRL function saetPanelSize() you resize a panel during runtime.
I didn't look at the code of the StdLip to see where the function is used. Maybe you find it by searching for the CTRL function.

Hi Leopold,
thanks for the help , actually i did some work on it myslef and found out that the stdlib uses a framework panel as main faceplate window. this main framework panel is located at WinCC_OA/3.15/Stdlib_3.15/panels/objects_parts/faceplates/framework/faceplate_main.pnl ,

opening of the faceplate is done by the project hook function which builts the faceplates on the framework main faceplate. its possible to resize the framework faceplate.

Best regards,

Ilyas
