LOAD WINDOW

Load a window definition from a MiniGUI window definition file

SYNTAX

LOAD WINDOW <WindowDefinitionFileName>
[ AT <row>, <col> ]
[ WIDTH <width> ]
[ HEIGHT <height> ]
[ AS <WindowName> ]

REMARKS

If you omit the AS clause, the window definition file name (without extension) is assumed as the window name.

A MiniGUI window definition file ('.fmg' file) is a text file containing a window definition, using standard minigui code, except the window name in the DEFINE WINDOW command (you must use TEMPLATE word instead).

EXAMPLE

Lets suppose that we want to create two instances (called Form_1 and Form_2) from a window definition stored in a file called 'BaseForm.fmg'

* Begin BaseForm.fmg

DEFINE WINDOW TEMPLATE;
AT 93,80 ;
WIDTH 550 ;
HEIGHT 350 ;
TITLE ''

@ 249,225 BUTTON button_11 ;
CAPTION 'button_11' ;
ACTION MsgInfo('Button Pressed') ;
WIDTH 100 ;
HEIGHT 28 ;
FONT 'Arial' ;
SIZE 10

END WINDOW

* End BaseForm.fmg

Then, in your program...

LOAD WINDOW BaseForm AS Form_1
LOAD WINDOW BaseForm AS Form_2

ACTIVATE WINDOW Form_1, Form_2

'.fmg' files are compatible with Ciro vargas Clemow's 'Harbour MiniGUI IDE+'
