System

The system group controls the message level, image path, application title, status bar size, and the dialog window width and height factors.

The following example is used to explain the system group controls.

[SYSTEM]
						 
						messages = no
						 
						environment = movex
						 
						!application_title =
						 
						!image_path =
						  N:\APP11_1\IMAGES;N:\MVXAPP11\LINK\WINDOWS\INSTALL\IMAGES
						 
						!y_offset = -5
						 
						
						 
						statusbar_version_width=25
						 
						statusbar_clock_width=130
						 
						statusbar_status_width=350
						 
						statusbar_license_width=200
						 
						
						 
						#if hresolution = 1280
						 
						   width_factor  = 50
						 
						   height_factor = 90
						 
						#endif
						 
						
						 
						#if hresolution = 1152
						 
						   width_factor  = 50
						 
						   height_factor = 90
						 
						#endif
						 
						
						 
						#if hresolution = 1024
						 
						   width_factor  = 70
						 
						   height_factor = 110
						 
						#endif
						 
						
						 
						#if hresolution = 800
						 
						   width_factor  = 90
						 
						   height_factor = 140
						 
						#endif
						

• Messages

  Messages controls the message level and is only used for debugging purpose. If set to yes, a message box will indicate if a UI error occurs. Call to void NTApplication::reportError(const PSErrorInfo &info) const in PSUI.DLL.

  messages = no | yes

  image_path = <paths>

• Application title

  Application title controls the text in the MAPP main window title bar.

  application_title = <text>

• Image path

  Image path overrides the path set by the environment variable PSUI_IMAGEPATH. The path can be a double path, where first path is to a customer image directory and the second the standard image directory.

  image_path = c:\program files\MvxApp11_1\images\custom;c:\program files\MvxApp11_1\images;

  If a folder named 256 is defined in any of the image directories, the images placed in these folders are preferred if the color resolution is set to 256 colors.

• Status bar

  A status bar is placed at the bottom of the planning application main window.

  These settings ensure that the status and license parts are only shown when the user is in the Component Overview menu. In the other menus (planning menu and scheduling menu) this information is hidden to provide enough space for the color information.

  If these settings are removed from the PSUI.INI file, all menus are going to look like the Component Overview menu.

• The size of the legend/information part is approximately the main window width (statusbar_license_width + statusbar_status_width + statusbar_clock_width + statusbar_version_width).

  The license, status, clock and version parts are fixed sized. If a width is set to zero pixels, the part is not shown.

  statusbar_license_width = <pixels>

  statusbar_status_width = <pixels>

  statusbar_clock_width = <pixels>

  statusbar_version_width = <pixels>

• Width factor

  The width_factor and height_factor controls the proportions of the dialogs in different resolutions.

  width_factor = <integer factor>

  height_factor = <integer factor>

  If, for example, the horizontal screen resolution is 800 pixels, these factors are set:

  #if hresolution = 800

  width_factor = 90

  height_factor = 140

  #endif

  

  If the width_factor is changed from 90 to 80 and the height factor from 140 to 130, a more compressed dialog is obtained. Note that the size of the controls have not been changed.

  #if hresolution = 800

  width_factor = 80

  height_factor = 130

  #endif
