Popup Panel Hints in the Instance List

A popup panel associated with an instance list entry can be made to appear when the user hovers over an instance list entry. This feature is only available when the Framework is run in Direct-X mode.

 

 

In the VLF there is a business object property (Popup Panel Name) on the instance list tab which stores the name of a reusable part which is the panel inside a popup panel.

If this property is blank (the default), it indicates that there will be no popup panel for entries of this business object type (via any instance list).

There is also a property of the business object (Enable Popup Panels) on the instance list tab that can be used to enable or disable popups for any business object within the tree (default is false). If this setting is true, any business object that has an enabled popup panel will display it when the user hovers over an entry of that business object type.

The end-user can disable or enable popups globally, by right-mouse clicking on the instance list and using the context menu. The property will be remembered for the user from session to session.
