Closing docked displays

Use the Abort command to close docked displays individually, or to close all docked
displays, and any other displays running in the FactoryTalk View SE Client window.

Example: Closing an individual docked display

To provide the operator with a way to close a docked display named Menu, create a button
in the display that uses this command as its press action:

Abort Overview

When the operator presses the button, the Menu display will close.

Example: Closing all docked displays

To provide the operator with a way to close all docked displays, along with any other
displays running in the FactoryTalk View SE Client window, create a client key that uses
this command as its press action:

Abort * /D

When the operator presses the key, all running displays will close.

Printing displays at run time

To let an operator print graphic displays at run time, when you create the displays, provide
a way for the operator to run the PrintDisplay command.

For example, create a button object, display key, or client key with the PrintDisplay
command as the press action.

When you use the PrintDisplay command, FactoryTalk View prints the entire display,
even if parts are covered by other displays. You can use the ScreenPrint command to
print an image of whatever shows on the monitor.

For more information about the PrintDisplay and ScreenPrint commands, see the
FactoryTalk View Site Edition Help.

The Abort command’s /D parameter, which closes any docked displays, is valid only when used
with Abort *.
