Ionic Pro Pro, Plus manual Adding and Re-sizing Windows, Windows Layout

To unlink a window, right click on the title bar and from the context menu that appears select Unlink window.

Adding and Re-sizing Windows

To create a new window, select Window : New window. Select the type of new window you require from the sub-menu that appears. Alternatively, you can right click on the screen and select New window from the context menu that appears.

All windows displayed in ShareScope Plus and Pro can be re-sized to your exact requirements. To do this, simply place your mouse over the window border, then click and drag. To move a window around the screen, click and drag on the title bar.

ShareScope can automatically arrange windows for you. Click on the toolbar button with the picture of a multi-window screen on it, or select Window : Arrange windows. The windows will move and re-size to fill as much blank space as possible. To restore the default layouts, select Window : Window layouts : Default layouts.

With multiple windows displayed, you can maximise any one of the windows to fill the whole screen. For example, if the shares list window and intraday graph window are displayed on screen but you would like a closer look at the intraday graph, double click on the intraday graph title bar and the window will fill the entire screen. To return to multiple windows, double click on the window title bar again.

When adding new windows in a blank area of the screen, they will automatically be re-sized to fit the space you have right clicked in, taking into account the arrangement of the other windows.

Windows Layout

As with graphs and tables, you can save up to twelve different windows layouts. Layouts are automatically saved when you exit ShareScope.

So, for example, if you wanted one layout showing simply the list and intraday graph of a particular share, you could save this and call it ‘List/graph’. To rename the current window layout, select Window : Window layouts : Rename window layout... and enter the new layout name.

You can access this layout at any time by selecting Window : Window layouts : List/Graph. You can then save and use up to eleven other layouts, so you don’t have to rearrange the windows each time you want to change the layout. You can add window layout toolbar buttons to any one of your toolbars for easy access to any of your saved layouts.

To find out more about customising your toolbars see Section 18 of the ShareScope User Guide.
