ATIVA Xpanel Configuration

If the model of the project is CM-NP/iNP, options are added to the [Tools] -> [XPANEL Configuration].

You can configure the option in the ‘Xpanel Config’ or XpanelDesigner. After the PC reboots, open the project file in the XpanelDesigner. Then the corresponding project will be executed in the PC Runtime.

When you select the option in XpanelDesigner, this option will be applied immediately.

(2) Disable Window Functions (Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, etc.)

If you execute the PC Runtime with this option enabled, you cannot use Windows hotkeys, such as Alt+Tab or Alt+F4. However, Ctrl+Alt+Del will still be usable regardless of the option’s status.
