I have 2 monitors with resolution 1920x1080 and a start picture, extended over those 2 monitors which is no real problem. In some cases, I need to switch to a second picture which should fit only one monitor, just to have another application always on top of the second monitor (like for example Excel). I think I need to resize the runtime picture for this but it seems not possible to resize Runtime by script or by changing geometry properties of the start picture, linked with internal tags. Resizing picture windows is easy but resizing runtime is not? Is there a way to achieve what I need? Thanks in advance. Brgds. |

Hey Bizur, Thx for your reply, those properties were off course the first & logical thing that I tried. Changing their values in Runtime did not resize the RT WinCC Window (borders). If I check the RT values of those properties (onchange event copies values to I/O-field output value) shows that they do change but the change is not visible. Brgds, SteBo |

I think the key is to active "Independent Picture Window->Hide main window" under Graphics Runtime in the Computer properties and make a start picture with independent Picture Windows.Playing with visibility of the picture windows depending on activated picture inside those picture windows might do the trick. |

Hello SteBo, I already feared, that you would answer exactly this, because I know that you are an experienced user. But I have been a little bit confused, because you also mentioned, that you want to change size of whole WinCC runtime window. So I thaught, it might be enough to change just graphics picture. Neverthessless you are telling, that your value changes are working, but nothing happens on your screen. Which version of WinCC you are currently working with? Maybe you have to create a Support Request for this issue. Best regards Bizur |

Currently, v7 SP2 Update 2 for a customer but they don't want to install newer updates :-( I contacted Support Request and they confirmed startpicture with Picture Windows & Independent Window-property is the way to achieve this (together with Monitor Number-property).At this point, this question is solved for me. Thanks Bizur. Brgds. |
