WINDOW STATUS
Captures and updates the status of an open window.
Syntax
WINDOW STATUS [window]Parameters
| window | where window can be: name: The name of an open window. The software looks up name in the currently accessed directories in the usual way. A compiled command using name contains the unambiguous name of the window (including a reference to an application directory) that was found at compile time. (expr): A character string, or an expression that evaluates to a character string, that is to be used at run time as a window object name. The parentheses must be entered. A compiled command using (expr) can refer to many windows, at the risk of encountering an ambiguous window name (i.e., no directory specified when versions of the window are available in two or more directories). If neither name nor (expr) is specified, the current window is assumed. |
Comments
WINDOW STATUS gets the current status of an open window and updates the structure ThisWindow. This is particularly useful when the end user moves and/or resizes a window without program control.
Example
window open wContracts form display input ... window status list ThisWindow let MyWidth = ThisWindow.WindowWidth
After an event has been generated by the FORM INPUT, the size and position (among other information) can be retrieved by the means of the WINDOW STATUS for later usage with the structure ThisWindow.
window open AnyWindow maximize window status list ThisWindow let MyScreenWidth = ThisWindow.WindowWidth
The attributes ThisWindow.WindowWidth and ThisWindow.WindowHeight provide the maximum dimensions of the screen.
