Description
The value of the Window
Type property determines the other properties that can be set. If the Window
Type is Normal, all other window properties can be set. Other values
restrict the availability of other window properties.
Note: To change the default settings for other window elements, such as the active title bar, active window border, and so on, you can use the Microsoft Windows Control Panel or the Unix XResources.
Setting Window Type in ProcScript
When creating a component instance of a form using
newinstance, it is possible to specify
windowtype= as one of the component
instance properties. Setting windowtype to a value other than
popuppopup is not accepted and generated $procerror-1410.
For more information, see newinstance.
