Is there a way for popups in an ignition project to reside outside of the project window? I want to let the popup continue to reside outside the window while the user navigates around the original screen.
The only way I can come up with is system.util.retarget, but this seems to replace the project rather than allow the two to run simultaneously. Is there a way to do this?
Yes and no.
You can construct your own completely floating JFrame.
But you have to populate it entirely with Java Swing manually constructed elements with a standard layout. (Not an Ignition window.) Not for any but the bravest of hearts.
Secondary desktops were intended primarily for multi-monitor situations, but might cover this use case as well?
