Specifies the canvas that is to be the window's primary content view. At runtime, Form Builder always attempts to display the primary view in the window. For example, when you display a window for the first time during a session by executing the SHOW_WINDOW built-in procedure, Form Builder displays the window with its primary content view.
If, however, Form Builder needs to display a different content view because of navigation to an item on that view, the primary content view is superseded by the target view.
Window Style property
Specifies whether the window is a Document window or a Dialog window. Document and dialog windows are displayed differently on window managers that support a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) system of window management.
MDI applications display a default parent window, called the application window. All other windows in the application are either document windows or dialog windows.
Document windows always remain within the application window frame. If the operator resizes the application window so that it is smaller than a document window, the document window is clipped. An operator can maximize a document window so that is occupies the entire workspace of the application window.
Dialog windows are free-floating, and the operator can move them outside the application window if they were defined as Movable. If the operator resizes the application window so that it is smaller than a dialog window, the dialog window is not clipped.
Modal property
Specifies whether a window is to be modal. Modal windows require an end user to dismiss the window before any other user interaction can continue.
Hide on Exit property
For a modeless window, determines whether Form Builder hides the window automatically when the end user navigates to an item in another window.
Close Allowed property
Specifies whether the window manager-specific Close command is enabled or disabled for a window.
? Setting Close Allowed to Yes enables the Close command so that the Close Window event can be sent to Form Builder when the operator issues the Close command. However, to actually close the window in response to this event, you must write a When-Window-Closed trigger that explicitly closes the window. You can close a window programmatically by calling HIDE_WINDOW, SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY, or EXIT_FORM.
? On Microsoft Windows, if the operator closes the MDI parent window, Form Builder executes DO_KEY('Exit_Form') by default.
Move Allowed property
Specifies whether or not the window can be moved. Windows can be moved from one location to another on the screen by the end user or programmatically by way of the appropriate built-in subprogram.
Resize Allowed property
Specifies that the window is to be a fixed size and cannot be resized at runtime. The Resize Allowed property prevents an end user from resizing the window, but it does not prevent you from resizing the window programmatically with RESIZE_WINDOW or SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY.
Maximize Allowed property
Specifies that end users can resize the window by using the zooming capabilities provided by the runtime window manager.
Minimize Allowed property
Specifies that a window can be iconified on window managers that support this feature.
Minimized Title property
Specifies the text string that should appear below an iconified window.
Icon Filename property
Specifies the name of the icon resource that you want to represent the iconic button, menu item, or window.
Icon Filename property
Specifies the name of the icon resource that you want to represent the iconic button, menu item, or window.
Canvas Type property
Specifies the type of canvas. The type determines how the canvas is displayed in the window to which it is assigned, and determines which properties make sense for the canvas.
Content: The default. Specifies that the canvas should occupy the entire content area of the window to which it is assigned. Most canvases are content canvases.
Stacked: Specifies that the canvas should be displayed in its window at the same time as the window's content canvas. Stacked views are usually displayed programmatically and overlay some portion of the content view displayed in the same window.
Vertical Toolbar Canvas: Specifies that the canvas should be displayed as a vertical toolbar under the menu bar of the window. You can define iconic buttons, pop-lists, and other items on the toolbar as desired.
Horizontal Toolbar Canvas: Specifies that the canvas should be displayed as a horizontal toolbar at the left side of the window to which it is assigned.
Raise on Entry property
For a canvas that is displayed in the same window with one or more other canvases, Raise on Entry specifies how Form Builder should display the canvas when the end user or the application navigates to an item on the canvas.
? When Raise on Entry is No, Form Builder raises the view in front of all other views in the window only if the target item is behind another view.
? When Raise on Entry is Yes, Form Builder always raises the view to the front of the window when the end user or the application navigates to any item on the view.
