AutomaticallyMinimized (Property)

Find out whether a Repositionable Note control is automatically minimized after 5 seconds
Define whether a Repositionable Note control must be automatically minimized after 5 seconds.

Remark: This property is identical to the "Reduce the note automatically" option found in the "GUI" tab of the description window of the control.

..AutomaticallyMinimized is used to:

Find out the timeout before the Repositionable Note is automatically minimized.
Define the timeout before the Repositionable Note control is automatically minimized.

Remark: This property is identical to the "Reduce the note automatically after" option found in the "GUI" tab of the description window of the control. Remark: This property is identical to the option "Automatically reduce the note after", found in the "UI" tab of the control description window.

Caution: the operating mode of this property was modified from version 210059. In the earlier versions, this property:

corresponded to True or False.
was used to find out and define whether a repositionable note was automatically minimized after 5 seconds.

Example

// Expand a Repositionable Note control and leave it expanded
NOTE_MyNote..Minimized = False
NOTE_MyNote..AutomaticallyMinimized = False

// Expand a Repositionable Note control and leave it expanded
NOTE_MyNote..Minimized = False
NOTE_MyNote..AutomaticallyMinimized = 0

// Collapse Repositionable Note control after one minute
NOTE_MyNote..Minimized = True
NOTE_MyNote..AutomaticallyMinimized = 60

Remarks

Operating mode

When starting the window, if ..AutomaticallyMinimized is set to True, the Repositionable Note control is automatically minimized after 5 seconds.
If the user expands the Repositionable Note control, it remains expanded.
If ..AutomaticallyMinimized is assigned to True, the time-out is restarted: after 5 seconds, the Repositionable Note control will be automatically minimized.

By default, the Repositionable Note is never minimized ("Automatically reduce the note after" option in the "GUI" tab set to "Never").By default, the Repositionable Note is never minimized ("Automatically reduce the note after" option in the "UI" tab set to "Never").
If the user expands the Repositionable Note control, it remains expanded.
If ..AutomaticallyMinimized is assigned with XX value, the Repositionable Note control will be automatically minimized after XX seconds.

Remark

..Minimized allows you to know if a Repositionable Note control is minimized.
