24 Using HydraVision™ for Windows® NT4.0/Windows® 2000
The Desktop Management dialog lets you determine the
behavior of pop-up windows and dialog boxes in a multiple
monitor environment.
Dialog control:
Enable dialog repositioning—Toggles dialog control on and
off. When it is checked, you can choose to have dialog
boxes appear on the parent application’s monitor. (The
parent application is the application that generated the
dialog box.) If the parent application or associated monitor
cannot be located, the dialog box defaults to monitor 1. You
can also choose to have dialog boxes appear on the monitor
in which the cursor is located or to always appear on a
specific monitor in the array.
Window control:
Single monitor windows—When this box is checked,
windows are sized no larger than a single monitor.
Windows that are placed on monitor splits are
automatically relocated to the monitor on which most of the
window appears.
HydraVision™ Max button management—Allows you
to control the behavior of the Windows
®
Maximize button.
When HydraVision™ is running, a HydraVision™
Max/Restore button appears in the upper right corner of
your application title bars. Clicking this icon makes the
active window maximize in one of three ways:
1. Max to window corners causes windows to
maximize to the monitor(s) that contain the window’s
upper left and lower right corners.
2. Max to full desktop causes windows to maximize to
the entire monitor array.
3. Max to current monitor causes windows to
maximize to the current monitor.
Max child windows—Keeps windows generated by parent
applications from splitting across monitors (A child window is a
window residing within a parent application window.) The
ability to keep child windows on a single monitor when
maximized is extremely useful for editing multiple documents
side by side in a parent application.
