/nomenutitle

About this task

For: CimView (and Webspace) only)

Removes the menu bar and title bar from the primary CimView window and all subsequent windows that you open.

This option is applied to the new windows and to any windows that are opened from within CimView. If a later CimView command is executed without the option, the option is disabled for those windows and any new windows opened from within CimView.

Exarmple

cimview.exe /nomenutitle C:\myproj\scr.cim

Important:
  • A button or other object that enables a user to close CimView is necessary. If one is not present, the machine will have to be rebooted to re-enable the standard desktop.
  • An issue could occur when /nomenutitle was used that would cause a screen to lose focus and remain out of focus.

This issue occurred, for example, if a user:

Procedure

  1. Opened a CimView screen.
  2. Opened a second screen using an Open Screen procedure.
  3. Opened a dialog box on the second screen.
  4. Clicked the original screen to put it back in focus.
  5. Clicked the dialog box on the second screen.

Results

The dialog box would stay in focus only briefly. Instead focus would flip back and forth between the dialog box and the original screen. The second screen would remain out of focus.

A utility, CimDesktop, can work around this issue.

The syntax is:

CimDesktop CimView /nomenutitle c:\myproj\scr.cim

Result:

  • A selected CimView screen with no menu or title bar takes over the desktop.
  • Screens, Popup menus and other features that are associated with the selected screen perform successfully.
  • All other applications are disabled and hidden.
  • The standard desktop is re-enabled when CimView is closed.
  • /captive and /keypad are also currently supported when using this tool.
