Description
This attribute determines how the application is displayed to the
user. Some settings affect other attributes. For example, in
Object Manager choosing Client Window Management disables the
attributes for configuring the application's size. On the command line
you may specify these other attributes, but they have no effect.
|
| Webtop | webtop | All application types |
- The application appears on the webtop, alongside the links,
embedded within the web page defined in the object's Emulator Applet Page
attribute.
|
| Client window management | clientwm | X applications |
- The application's windows behave in the same way as those of
applications running on the client device. For example, the windows
may be resized, moved, minimized and maximized using the client's
normal window management controls.
- The object's Window
Close Action attribute determines what happens when the user
closes the application's last or main window.
- Recommended for applications with many
top-level resizable windows.
|
| New browser window | newbrowser | All application types |
- The application appears in a new web browser window, embedded
within the web page defined in the object's Emulator Applet Page
attribute.
|
| Independent window | independent | All application types |
- The application appears in a new window, without any web browser
toolbars or menus.
- This window may be resized, but this does not resize the
application: the window will include scrollbars. The object's Width and Height attributes determine
the size of the application.
- Closing the window may end or suspend the emulator session,
depending on the object's Resumable attribute.
- Recommended for Windows applications.
|
| Kiosk | kiosk | 3270 character, character, X and Windows applications |
- The application appears full-screen, with no window decoration.
- Users may not resize or move the window.
- Recommended for full-screen desktop sessions.
|
| Local X server | localx | X and Windows applications |
- The application is displayed using a X server installed on the
client device, if one is available. Otherwise, an independent window
is used.
- Applications configured with this setting are not
resumable (even if an independent window is used).
- The client device X server's host access control must grant
access to the application server. See your X server's documentation
for information about host access control.
|
If a user presses the Control key while clicking a link, the
application is displayed in a different way:
|
| Webtop | Independent window |
| New browser window, independent window, kiosk, local X server | Webtop |
| Client window management | Client window management |
