Dear All,
My post is at the bottom of this mail but basically I wanted to tell MapInfo
the 'name' of a window I was interested in and get it to return the ID of
that window...
Thanks to all of you who replied and special thanks to Peter Horsb�ll M�ller
who provided me with a very neat little function to do exactly what I was
after. Thanks Peter! Its copied below for anyone who missed it the first
time:
***********
Function WINGetWindowID(ByVal szWinName As String) As Integer
Dim i, nWID As Integer
OnError GoTo ErrorOccured
WINGetWindowID = 0
If szWinName = "" Then
Exit Function
End If
For i = 1 To NumWindows()
nWID = WindowID(i)
If WindowInfo(nWID, WIN_INFO_NAME) = szWinName Then
WINGetWindowID = nWID
Exit Function
End If
Next
Exit Function
'-------------------------
ErrorOccured:
Note "Some error happend: " & Error$()
End Function

Listers,
Can anyone tell me if the following is possible?
In MapBasic I am opening a map window and naming it "Main" a second window
also opens which I call "Overview". Is it possible to get the WindowID of
the "Main" window and save it to a variable? Obviously each time I open the
window it has a different WindowID. I have done this before but I'd like to
know how others get the result so I'm trying not to be too leading with my
question.
Basically in plain English can I ask MapInfo "Hey MapInfo, what's the Window
ID of the Map Window I've named Main?"
Any help greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Dave
