The following list of variables belonging to the Config.ini configuration file's [SYSTEM] section pertain to the Display Manager.
Quick note: If you want your application to be inside a standard Windows window, (i.e. a resizable window with a title bar and control buttons) use the following settings:
DispMgrResizable = 1
DispMgrFullScreen = 0
DispMgrMinMaxDisabled = 0
Indicates the background color when no page is displayed in the Display Manager. By default, the background color to be displayed is black (0). For valid color values, please refer to Reserved Color Values.
Default: DefaultBGColor = 0
Indicates the background color for new pages. By default, the page background color to be displayed for VTS applications is white (15), while the default background color to be displayed for VTScada applications is black (0). For valid color values, please refer to Reserved Color Values.
Default DefaultPageColor = 15 OR (VTScada) DefaultPageColor = 0
Indicates the title to be displayed in the center of the Display Manager's title bar.
Indicates the bitmap to be displayed on the left side of the Display Manager's title bar. For VTS applications, this bitmap is the VTS orb logo (named, "VTS38.bmp"). This logo is stored in the VTS product or installation directory. For VTScada applications, this bitmap is the VTScada logo (named, "VTScada.bmp"). This logo is stored in the VTScada layer directory (e.g. C:\VTS\VTScada\).
If you wish to replace either the VTS or VTScada title bar logo, store your custom logo within your application directory, and reference it using a relative path (e.g. "DispMgrBitmap = MyCustomLogo.bmp".
Default: DispMgrBitmap = VTS38.bmp OR DispMgrBitmap = VTScada.bmp
Indicates the width of the left margin for the background bitmap
Indicates the width of the bottom margin for the background bitmap
Indicates the width of the right margin for the background bitmap
Indicates the width of the top margin for the background bitmap, if margins are enabled
Enables background bitmap margins for windowed pages
Indicates the height (vertical) of the Display Manager. If set to invalid (which it is by default), DispMgrHeight uses the VStatus(Self(),27) call to determine the default height of the Display Manager based on the video board and screen characteristics of your workstation.
Related Variables: To set the width of the Display Manager, use the DispMgrWidth variable.
Default: DispMgrHeight =
Enables you to set the Display Manager to tile multiple pages on the screen. DispMgrHoriz indicates the number of pages to display horizontally.
Related Variables: Both the DispMgrHoriz and the DispMgrVert variables must be set in order for the Display Manager to tile multiple windows; setting only one of these variables will have no effect.
Default: DispMgrHoriz = 1
Enables you to specify whether the Display Manager should feature a Windows title bar with a title and close buttons. (The additional presence of minimize and maximize buttons is determined by the setting of the DispMgrMinMaxDisabled variable.)
If set to 0 (false), the Display Manager does not display in full screen mode, and has a windows title bar with a default title of "Display" and a close button. (To modify the title displayed in the Windows title bar, use the DisplayManagerTitle variable in the [LABELS] section of Config.ini.)
If set to 1 (true), the Display Manager displays in full screen mode. No Windows title bar is present (default).
Default: DispMgrFullScreen = 1
Enables you to control the presence of minimize and maximize buttons in the Windows title bar of the Display Manager if the DispMgrFullScreen variable is set to 0 (indicating that a Windows title bar is present for the Display Manager).
If set to 0 (false), the minimize or maximize buttons are present in the Windows title bar (if a Windows title bar has been configured for this application using the DispMgrFullScreen variable) (default).
If set to 1 (true), minimize and maximize buttons are not present in the Windows title bar (if a Windows title bar has been configured for this application using the DispMgrFullScreen variable).
Default: DispMgrMinMaxDisabled = 0
Normally configured via the 'Page Style' tab of the RealmDisplaySetup tag. This variable allows you to control the page style characteristics of a full screen VTS Internet Client page. This is a bitwise variable with the following meanings for the bits:

Default: DispMgrPageStyle = 0xFFFF
Enables you to indicate whether or not the Display Manager should be horizontally and vertically resizable by dragging the window's borders when in windowed mode (i.e. when the DispMgrFullScreen variable is set to 0).
If set to 0 (false), the Display Manager will not be resizable by dragging its borders horizontally or vertically (if a Windows title bar has been configured for this application by setting the DispMgrFullScreen variable to 0) (default).
If set to 1 (true), the Display Manager will be resizable by dragging its borders horizontally or vertically (if a Windows title bar has been configured for this application by setting the DispMgrFullScreen variable to 0).
Related Variables: The DispMgrFullScreen variable must be set to 0 (i.e. the Display Manager must be configured to display a Windows title bar) in order for DispMgrResizable to take effect. The DispMgrHeight, DispMgrWidth, BrowserHeight, and BrowserWidth variables will apply to the Display Manager only until the window has been resized by dragging its borders, after which the Display Manager will retain the newly adjusted size. If DispMgrMinMaxDisabled is set to 1, the Display Manager will not feature Windows minimum and maximize buttons, however, the window will be resizable by dragging its borders.
Default: DispMgrResizable = 0
Indicates the format of the time displayed in the Display Manager's upper right corner. The default format for the time is "hr:mm HH" (for example. "1:38 AM"). The available time formats are the same as those for the Time function.
Default: DispMgrTimeFormat = 7
When set to 0, disables the title bar and borders. When set to 1 or when missing altogether, the title bar and borders are unaffected.
Default: DispMgrTitleBorder = 1
Enables you to set the Display Manager to tile multiple pages on the screen. DispMgrVert indicates the number of pages to display vertically.
Related Variables: Both the DispMgrVert and the DispMgrHoriz variables must be set in order for the Display Manager to tile multiple windows; setting only one of these two variables will have no effect.
Default: DispMgrVert = 1
Indicates the width (horizontal) of the Display Manager. If set to invalid (which it is by default), DispMgrWidth uses the VStatus(Self(), 26) call to determine the default width of the Display Manager based on the video board and screen characteristics of your workstation.
Related Variables: To set the height of the Display Manager, use the DispMgrHeight variable.
Default: DispMgrWidth =
