Properties

accelerator

accelerator: Partial<Accelerator>

Enable keyboard shortcuts for devtools, zoom, reload, and reload ignoring cache.

api

api: ApiSettings

Configurations for API injection.

applicationIcon

applicationIcon: string

Deprecated

use icon instead.

autoShow

autoShow: boolean

Automatically show the window when it is created.

autoplayPolicy

autoplayPolicy: AutoplayPolicyOptions

Autoplay policy to apply to content in the window, can be no-user-gesture-required, user-gesture-required, document-user-activation-required. Defaults to no-user-gesture-required.

backgroundColor

backgroundColor: string

The window’s backfill color as a hexadecimal value. Not to be confused with the content background color (document.body.style.backgroundColor), this color briefly fills a window’s (a) content area before its content is loaded as well as (b) newly exposed areas when growing a window. Setting this value to the anticipated content background color can help improve user experience. Default is white.

backgroundThrottling

backgroundThrottling: boolean

Default Value

false

Determines whether WebContents will throttle animations and timers when the page becomes backgrounded. This also affects the Page Visibility API.

When true, the page is throttled whether it is hidden or not.

closeOnLastViewRemoved

closeOnLastViewRemoved: boolean

Default Value

true

Setting this to false would keep the Window alive even if all its Views were closed. This is meant for advanced users and should be used with caution. Limitations - Once a Layout has been emptied out of all views it's not usable anymore, and certain API calls will fail. Use layout.replace to create a fresh Layout instance in case you want to populate it with Views again. NOTE: - This option is ignored in non-Platforms apps.

contentCreation

contentCreation: ContentCreationOptions

Configures how new content (e,g, from window.open or a link) is opened.

contentNavigation

contentNavigation: NavigationRules

Restrict navigation to URLs that match an allowed pattern. In the lack of an allowlist, navigation to URLs that match a denied pattern would be prohibited. See here for more details.

contentRedirect

contentRedirect: Partial<NavigationRules>

Restrict redirects to URLs that match an allowed pattern. In the lack of an allowlist, redirects to URLs that match a denied pattern would be prohibited. See here for more details.

customRequestHeaders

customRequestHeaders: CustomRequestHeaders[]

Custom headers for requests sent by the window.

defaultCentered

defaultCentered: boolean

Centers the window in the primary monitor. This option overrides defaultLeft and defaultTop. When saveWindowState is true, this value will be ignored for subsequent launches in favor of the cached value.

NOTE: On macOS defaultCenter is somewhat above center vertically.

defaultHeight

defaultHeight: number

Default Value

500

The default height of the window. When saveWindowState is true, this value will be ignored for subsequent launches in favor of the cached value.

defaultLeft

defaultLeft: number

Default Value

100

The default left position of the window. When saveWindowState is true, this value will be ignored for subsequent launches in favor of the cached value.

defaultTop

defaultTop: number

Default Value

100

The default top position of the window. When saveWindowState is true, this value will be ignored for subsequent launches in favor of the cached value.

defaultWidth

defaultWidth: number

Default Value

800

The default width of the window. When saveWindowState is true, this value will be ignored for subsequent launches in favor of the cached value.

downloadShelf

downloadShelf: DownloadShelfOptions

Controls the styling and behavior of the window download shelf.

Remarks

This will control the styling for the download shelf regardless of whether its display was triggered by the window itself, or a view targeting the window.

excludeOptions

excludeOptions: ExcludeOptions

Control which options to ignore when creating a Platform Window.

Optionalexperimental

experimental?: any

Optionalfdc3InteropApi

fdc3InteropApi?: string

height

height: number

ignoreSavedWindowState

ignoreSavedWindowState: boolean

Ignores the cached state of the window. Defaults the opposite value of saveWindowState to maintain backwards compatibility.

Optionalinheritance

inheritance?: Partial<InheritableOptions>

Controls whether an option is inherited from the parent application. The option is set as part of the window options for the parent application in either the Manifest.startup_app or Manifest.platform properties in the manifest or in ApplicationOptions.mainWindowOptions when calling Application.start. Use { [option]: false } to disable a specific [option]. All inheritable properties will be inherited by default if omitted.

layout

layout: any

ExperimentallayoutSnapshot

layoutSnapshot: LayoutSnapshot

The collection of layouts to load when the window is created. When launching multiple layouts, manage the lifecycle via fin.Platform.Layout.create()/destroy() methods.

modalParentIdentity

modalParentIdentity: Identity

Parent identity of a modal window. It will create a modal child window when this option is set.

name

name: string

The name of the window.

permissions

permissions: Partial<Permissions>

API permissions for code running in the window.

Remarks

Superseded by DomainSettings.default.api.permissions - if present, this setting will be ignored. It is recommended for users to migrate to a domain-based security model, since it is more natural to assign trust to the source of the page content than to the context rendering it.

preloadScripts

preloadScripts: PreloadScript[]

Scripts that run before page load. When omitted, inherits from the parent application.

processAffinity

processAffinity: string

String tag that attempts to group like-tagged renderers together. However, there is no guarantee that a different affinity value will create a different process, under the hood Chromium can enforce its own process management under certain circumstances.

Remarks

Will only be used if pages are on the same origin.

saveWindowState

saveWindowState: boolean

Default Value

true

Caches the location of the window.

Note: this option is ignored in Platforms as it would cause inconsistent applySnapshot behavior.

shadow

shadow: boolean

Default Value

false

Displays a shadow on frameless windows. shadow and cornerRounding are mutually exclusive. On Windows 7, Aero theme is required.

smallWindow

smallWindow: boolean

Default Value

false

Makes this window a frameless window that can be created and resized to less than 41x36 px (width x height).

Note: Caveats of small windows are no Aero Snap and drag to/from maximize. Windows 10: Requires maximizable to be false. Resizing with the mouse is only possible down to 38x39 px.

state

state: WindowState

Default Value

"normal"

The visible state of the window on creation. One of:

  • "maximized"
  • "minimized"
  • "normal"

taskbarIcon

taskbarIcon: string

Deprecated

  • use icon instead.

taskbarIconGroup

taskbarIconGroup: string

Specify a taskbar group for the window. Can be shared across applications. If omitted from a main window, defaults to app's uuid (fin.Application.getCurrentSync().identity.uuid). Use platform.defaultWindowOptions.taskbarIconGroup to set a default for platform applications.

url

url: string

Default Value

"about:blank"

The URL of the window

uuid

uuid: string

Default Value

The uuid of the application, unique within the set of all Applications running in OpenFin Runtime. If omitted, defaults to the uuid of the application spawning the window. If given, must match the uuid of the application spawning the window. In other words, the application's uuid is the only acceptable value, but is the default, so there's really no need to provide it.

OptionalviewVisibility

viewVisibility?: ViewVisibilityOptions

Platform Windows Only. Controls behavior for showing views when they are being resized by the user.

viewsPreventingClose

viewsPreventingClose: "layout" | "all"

Default Value

'all'

When closeOnLastViewRemoved is set to true, determines which views prevent closing the window.

    • Defaults to all. You may want to switch this to layout if using View closeBehavior: 'hide'. NOTE: - This option is ignored in non-Platforms apps.

waitForPageLoad

waitForPageLoad: boolean

Default Value

false

When set to true, the window will not appear until the window object's load event fires. When set to false, the window will appear immediately without waiting for content to be loaded.

width

width: number

x

x: number

y

y: number
