Display File that acts like a menu driver

[grtgatsby]

We would like to use one display file that acts like a menu driver instead of repeating the buttons on the left in every screen we do. We are testing the waters to see if anyone has done this, or if it can be done. We are using ProfoundUI Version 6. As of now all I have done is set up a responsive design with two containers. The first container on the left holds the buttons and the second container is blank(not sure what to put there). We're just getting started on this project and would like to keep it clean and simple. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hello Ritchie,

If you are looking to use the right-side container to run and display programs in, you'll want to use an iFrame. An iFrame is like a nested browser window, so you would navigate it by setting its URL and is a solution that has been used by some of our customers. There are some important rules for navigating iFrames though, so you'll want to make sure to review those. Additionally, you'll want to make sure that any screens you navigate away from in an iFrame are properly ended before left, otherwise you risk leaving jobs running until they timeout or are ended.

Some info on iFrames: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... ent/iframe

If this is not what you are looking to do in the right-side container, could you please elaborate on what you would like to do with it so that we might be able to assist you further?

I hope this helps!
