Users control the display of each work page window using the standard Windows® window controllers located in the top right corner of the window.
Stock Investor has its own window controller, and each work page has its own controller. When the work page window is Maximized, the controller is in Stock Investor’s Menu bar. When the windows are floating in the work area, whether Restored Down or Minimized, each has its own controllers in its title bar.
There is also a windows display drop-down menu controlled by the work page icon on the beginning of the Title Bar of each window, and the Menu Bar when each work page is maximised.
For more information, go to the Window menu bar help topic.
There are four standard buttons, only three of which will display at a time.
Restore Down and Maximize toggle between each other.
Restore Down will create a smaller floating window in the work area for the current work page.
The example above has been restored down.
The Restore Down button, and the Maximize button, toggle between each other and the display of one will replace the other.
Maximize will cause the floating window to expand to fill the entire work area. Its windows control button will move back to Stock Investor’s Menu bar.
Maximizing one floating or minimized window will Maximize all open work pages.
Note - Maximizing one floating or minimized window will Maximize all open work pages.
Minimize will reduce the work page to an icon containing a portion of its title bar, plus the windows control buttons.
Click this button to close the application, or the current work page.
Closing the a work page or the application will begin the normal closing sequence.
Closing an unsaved work page will result in the Save As dialog box to open.
All open work pages can be individually controlled using their window display controls described above, or they can all be centrally controlled using the commands in the Window menu in the Menu bar:
The Window drop down menu is always visible and available to be applied to all open windows simultaneously.
There are four viewing options: Cascade, Tile Vertically, Tile Horizontally and Minimize All.
In addition, all open work pages can be closed simultaneously (Close All), and all the minimized icons can be arranged along the lower border of the work area (Arrange Icons).
For more information, go to the Window menu bar help topic.
Below the view options is a list of all the currently open work pages.
They are listed in the order in which they were opened, and contain a description of the work page type as well as their name and other information about the work page. This displays each currently open page in its own window.
The title bar of the active page will be dark blue.
In Stock Investor work pages are displayed as individual windows, and their display is controlled using typical Windows® type options.
Select Cascade to arrange all the open items in individual windows arranged one on top of the other, the top-most, open window being the lowest in the group and the furthest to the right:
Select the title bar of each window to bring it to the top.
The individual windows can be repositioned and resized using the cursor. Select the title bar and drag to a new position. Select and edge or corner of a window to resize it.
Select Tile Vertically to arrange all the open items in individual windows in vertical groupings:
In this instance two vertical grouping have been created, one group with two windows on the left, and another group of three windows on the right.
Select Tile Horizontally to arrange all the open items in individual windows which extend for the length of the main window, and are arranged one on top of the other.
This display is similar to the Tile Vertically display, see above, except that they are arranged along a horizontal axis rather than a vertical.
Select Minimize All to collapse all open items into icons:
In the Minimize all view you can drag and drop and rearrange your icons into meaningful groups.
Open the icons by clicking on the windows control button on the right side of each icon's title bar, or right click on the title bar and select from the dialog box that appears.
Individual windows can be repositioned and resized using the cursor.
Select Arrange Icons to minimize and group all of the icons along the bottom margin of the main window.
The icons will be placed from left to right, a second row will begin when the icons fill up the entire bottom margin.
