Set Form Display Limits

If you open many forms (tabs) in MineMarket, you may exceed the number of Graphics Device Interface (GDI) objects that the system can display. To conserve memory, forms can be paged out.

Example: With the Form Limit Before Paging set to 5, a user opens five forms in this order: A,B,C,D,E. If the user opens another form F, form A is unloaded from memory. If the user then selects form A, the system reloads the form into memory and form B is unloaded because it is the next oldest one.

No data is lost if forms are paged out. However, on forms with multiple tabs, when you reload the form, the default tab displays, rather than the active tab from when you were last using the form.

Security Note: You need the Allow client settings security right in the Options user group security rights group for this activity.

2. Select the Preferences tab.
3. To display a warning if too many forms are open:
   1. Check Display Excessive Form Warning in the Client Settings field group.
   2. Enter the Form Limit Before Warning. The suggested value is 15.
