7.4.4 Changing and Popping Up Windows

EasyBuilder has 4 ways to change or popup windows during simulation or run operation. See Section 3, Object Reference
Guide, for complete details about PLC Controls, Functions, Indirect and Direct windows, their attributes, and how to
implement them.
PLC controlled action:
Use the Change Window PLC Control to replace all other Base windows being displayed. Common and Fast
Selection windows are not affected.
Operator controlled action:
Use Function parts with the Change Window attribute to replace all other Base windows being displayed. Common
and Fast Selection windows are not affected.
Use Function Key parts with the Popup Window attribute to place another Base over top of the active window. The
only way to close a popup window is to put a Function button with the Close Window attribute in it.
Note: A popup window of this type cannot use a Function part to pop up another window.
Use Function Key parts with the Change Common Window attribute to replace the currently active common window.
Base and Fast Selection windows are not affected.
Use Function Key parts with the Jog FS-Window attribute to replace the currently active Fast Selection window.
Common and Base windows are not affected.
Use Function Key parts with the Return to Previous attribute to replace the current Base window with the last active
Base window. Common and Fast Selection windows are not affected.
PLC or Operator controlled action:
Use Indirect and Direct window parts to overlay popup windows over active windows in a predefined area. Windows
called by Indirect and Direct window parts do not replace full screen windows.
Note: Indirect and Direct windows can call up other Indirect and Direct windows.
Note: Indirect and Direct windows do not work properly when they are on the same Base window as a Function
key Popup Window part. Additionally, do not put Function key Popup Window parts on Indirect and Direct
windows.
