Extend Desktop with fixed Form / View [message #1864612]

Hello everyone,
I would like to expand a Scout application so that another frame is permanently displayed on the right side of the screen. Maybe even like the menu bar on the left side of the screen, to slide in and out.
But, how is it possible to expand the desktop like that? Unfortunately I couldn't find any suitable documentation for this.
It would be brilliant if I could then drag and drop into the individual views, i.e. the individual views would have to be made known to each other. Is there something like this for eclipse scout?
It would be great if someone could help me!

Hello, in the constructor of the Desktop class I have implemented

setBenchLayoutData(
new BenchLayoutData()
.withWest(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(1).withRelative(true).withGrow(0).withShrink(0))
.withCenter(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(1).withRelative(true).withGrow(0).withShrink(-1))
.withEast(new BenchColumnData().withInitial(300).withRelative(false).withGrow(0).withShrink(0))
);

to get a fixed layout of the page.

Then I overwrote the execOpened() method and here via

MyForm form= new MyForm();
form.setDisplayHint(IForm.DISPLAY_HINT_VIEW);
form.setDisplayViewId(IForm.VIEW_ID_E);
form.start();

a view appears.

I have another question: Is it possible to disable the resizing of the menu to the left?
With adjusting the @desktop-navigation-min-width parameter i could set my preferred size. But how can i set it to the fixed width?
