About display types
Replace displays
Replace is the default display type. Replace displays are full-sized displays. They use the
project window size specified in the Project Settings editor.
For more information about the project window size, see page 4-11.
At run time, you can have only one Replace display open at a time. When the operator
opens a Replace display, this is what happens:
 The Replace display that was open closes.
 On Top displays that do not use the Cannot Be Replaced option are closed.
 The new Replace display opens.
 On Top displays that use the Cannot Be Replaced option remain open, on top of the
new Replace display.
If the operator attempts to open a Replace display that is already open (for example, using
a Goto display button to which the same display is assigned), the display does not close
and FactoryTalk View sends an error message to FactoryTalk Diagnostics.
On Top displays
Use the On Top option to create “pop-up” displays that open on top of the current Replace
display. Usually, On Top displays are smaller than Replace displays, so the operator
doesn’t lose track of display navigation.
You can open multiple On Top displays. If more than one On Top display is open, the
display that has focus, or had the most recent focus, appears on top.
When an On Top display closes, the display that had the most recent focus appears on top.
Use the Cannot Be Replaced option if you want the On Top display to remain open when
a new Replace display is opened.
On Top displays do not have a Close button in the title bar. Be sure to create a close button
graphic object in On Top displays so the operator can close them.
The operator cannot move an On Top display by dragging its title bar. The run-time
position of the display is fixed (according to the position settings defined for the display).
You can specify unique titles for On Top displays. You can use embedded variables in the
title, and the title text can switch languages at run time.
