I just stumbled on to another undocumented, idiosyncratic phenomenon in
TS 4.0 that can be very useful. I have just started working with the
Hashnumb dll and needed to have the six windows in my workspace open in
the correct order so that the execution of the dll’s is in the right
sequence. But when the workspace is closed and reopened the sequence was
jumbled.
To get the opening sequence you want, the windows must be moved in a
certain order into the upper left corner. Any window in the open
workspace can be arrange in the upper left hand corner by making it
active and clicking on "Arrange All" in the drop down Window menu. It
will jump to the upper left hand corner. When the workspace closed then
opened the upper left hand corner window will then be the first out.
Each window in the open workspace must be moved to the left hand corner
in the reverse order that you want them to open. Now close the workspace
and when it is opened they will load in the reverse order they were
moved into the left corner. That is, last moved, first out.
The order in which the rest of the windows move while you are moving one
to the left corner is critical. For 6 windows in the sequence below, if
6 is moved to 1 then 1-goes to-4-to-2-to-5-to-3-to-6. If 5 is moved to 1
then 1-to-4-to-2-to-5. 3 and 6 don’t move.
1 2 3
4 5 6
The Window drop down menu in charting shows the order in which the
windows opened (past tense). Number 1 listed is the first to have
opened, 2 the second,etc. The "Open Workspace" window (F3) shows the
order in which the symbols will open (future tense), the first listed
being the first to open.
For more than 6 windows (and TS2000 which seems to open differently) you
are on your own.
