tab(-10, AG_SHOWWINDOW); opflag, lft, top, rgt, btm, rows, cols, tsts, bsts, rtnflg, cid; chr(127);     Tab(-10,x) Syntax Notes

AG_SHOWWINDOW (27) performs the same function as the subroutine AUI_WINDOW, which see for the parameter descriptions, in addition to the differences noted below.

Parameters

opflag

In addition to the numeric values listed under AUI_WINDOW, may also be one of the following:

Char

Description

M

SW_MINIMIZE

X

SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED

R

SW_RESTORE

N

SW_SHOWNORMAL

 

rtnflg

Must be set to >= 1 to receive any response.  If >= 2, the  number of monitors will be appended to the response list.  If >= 3, the windows status will also be appended.  Note that setting the rtnflg >0 only really makes sense if opflag is <0 (query operations).

Response

Unless rtnflg > 0, none.

For rtnflg = 1:

vleft, vtop, vright, vbottom, rows, cols, tsts, bsts, hg, vg CR

For rtnflg = 2:

vleft, vtop, vright, vbottom, rows, cols, tsts, bsts, hg, vg ,monitors CR

For rtnflg >= 3:

vleft, vtop, vright, vbottom, rows, cols, tsts, bsts,hg, vg, monitors, winsts CR

These are all the same output values returned by AUI_WINDOW, which see for details.
