To manage a window or form as an external window

Purpose

A window or form in the NFM-P GUI can be moved from the main workspace and managed as an external window, for example, on a second monitor.

External windows are managed by the client computer OS. External windows maintain the window icon that is used in the NFM-P GUI, but the icon is placed on the OS taskbar. The NFM-P GUI taskbar does not display external windows, but they are listed in the NFM-P Window menu.

Any windows or forms that are opened from an external window appear as separate external windows.

An external window or form cannot be moved back to the NFM-P GUI. You must reopen the window in the NFM-P GUI.

Steps
 
1 

To move a window or form to an external window:

  1. Click on the required internal window or form to make it the active window.

  2. Choose Window→Move to External Window from the NFM-P main menu.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the title bar of the selected window and choose Move To External Window.

    External windows are listed in the NFM-P Window menu. You can activate an external window by clicking on the window or form name in the Window menu list.

2 

To close all external windows, choose Window→Close All External NFM-P Windows from the NFM-P main menu.
