ux-window

Use the <ux-window> element to provide specifications for a window or viewport in which a user assistance topic or Web page can be displayed. The window or viewport can be referenced by the <resourceid> element associated with a topic or <topicref> element.

The <ux-window> element can be used anywhere within a map. If more than one <ux-window> element in a map has the same @name attribute, the first window specification in document order with that @name attribute is used.

Example

In this example, a window with a name of "csh" is defined in the map. The window name is later referenced by the @ux-windowref attribute on the <resourceid> element.

<map title="Widget Help">
 <topicmeta>
  <ux-window id="fg23" name="csh" top="10" left="20" height="400" width="500" 
     features="status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no" relative="yes"
     full-screen="no" />
 </topicmeta>
 <topicref href="file_ops.dita" type="concept">
   <topicref href="saving.dita" type="task" />
   <topicref href="deleting.dita" type="task" />
   <topicref href="editing.dita" type="task">
     <topicmeta>  
       <resourceid id="ab43" appname="ua" 
          appid="5432" ux-context-string="idh_fileedit" ux-windowref="csh" />
     </topicmeta>
   </topicref>
</topicref>
</map>

In this example, different window specifications are defined for tablet and desktop presentation:

<map title="Puggles Help">
 <topicmeta>
 ►<ux-window id="p76" name="ux-tablet" top="1cm" left="1cm" height="4cm" width="3cm" 
    features="status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no" relative="no"
    full-screen="no" />◄
 ►<ux-window id="p80" name="ux-desktop" top="5cm" left="10cm" height="16cm" width="12cm" 
    features="status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=yes" relative="no"
    full-screen="no" />◄
 </topicmeta>
 <topicref href="c_puggles_intro.dita" type="concept">
  <!-- ... -->
 </topicref>
</map>
