Near the top of Neovest's News window is a horizontal row of icons that is referred to in Neovest as the News window toolbar.
Icons in the News window toolbar are designed to let you access a Neovest feature or window with a single click.
The following table describes the function of each icon in Neovest's News window toolbar:
Feature: | Description: |
Link/Unlink Window |
Lets you link or unlink a News window to or from other Neovest windows that
are open on your screen. All open Neovest windows that are linked
will load the same symbol; therefore, if you double-click on a symbol
displayed in an open Neovest QuoteWatch window, then a News window
will automatically load the same symbol. As you click on the "Link
Window" icon, the image of the link will change to appear either
intact or broken. If the link appears intact, then a News window
is linked to other Neovest windows that are open on your screen;
if it appears broken, then it is not linked.
Note: For information regarding linking a News window to "All" open Neovest windows or to only certain windows that are on the same channel, refer to the following "All" instructions in this table. |
All | Lets you choose
to link a News window to "All" open Neovest windows or
to only certain windows that are on the same channel. Neovest provides
20 different channels to which you may link windows. For instance,
you may choose to link two open Neovest windows to channel "1,"
which will cause the two windows and any other windows that are linked
to "All" to automatically load the same symbol. All other
open Neovest windows that are not linked to "All" or to
channel "1" will not load the same symbol.
Note: For information regarding why you may wish to link and unlink a News window to and from other Neovest windows that are open on your screen, refer to the preceding "Link/Unlink Window" instructions in this table. |
Note: You may remove the toolbar in any Neovest window by pressing Alt+T. Once the toolbar has been removed, simply press Alt+T again to restore thetoolbar.
Further features may be accessed by clicking the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.
