View or modify the settings for CDML Advanced Calculator

Show in Tray

Show CDML Advanced Calculator in the System Tray (bottom-right corner). When the calculator icon is in the tray, you only need to click on it and CDML Advanced Calculator will come to the front of all your open windows. If you right-click on it, you will see a menu of available choices. See Easy Access.

Stay On Top

When this item is selected, CDML Advanced Cal- culator will disappear and instead you will see a small, floating, yellow label "Show CDML Ad- vanced Calculator". When you double-click this label, the Calculator will appear and the label will change to "Hide CDML Calculator". To hide the

calcula tor, just double-click the label again. See Easy Access.

Calculator On Top

If this option is checked, then the main calculator screen will remain Topmost.

Hide Main Window

Allows you to hide the CDML Advanced Calculator window, but it leaves the Tray Icon or the On Top window (depending on the mode) in place.

Number Tape Items

If this option is checked, line item numbers will appear to the right of the value on tape. This does not apply to RPN mode. Line items will reset after you press Clear or Equal.

Don't Hide Evaluators

If this option is checked, neither the Expression Evaluator nor the Construction Calculator will disappear after you click the OK button. This is useful if you need to see your original expression.

Exit Button Minimizes

If this option is checked, clicking the Exit Button will minimize the calculator. To exit the calculator, right-click on the Tray Icon and select Exit or choose Exit from the File Menu.

Repeat Entry

Allows you to perform multiple operations with the same operand. For exam- ple, to add 5 seven times you can enter 5 and then hit the + six times and hit =. Without this mode, you must hit the 5 followed by a + six times and then hit 5 followed by =.

Swap + and Enter

Allows you to swap the + and the Enter keys on the number pad. This is for us- ers who are most comfortable with a 10 key where you use the pinky to add.
