Re the posting on 07-21-2006 and reply by Lars I. Nielsen:
Do you have an example of how WindowInfo is used to find the Show/Hide
status of a floating button bar?
I'm struggling with showing and hiding a button pad.
I create the button bar and make sure that it has show as one of the
attributes.
I then issue the command "buttonpad_id = FrontWindow()" to obtain the
window id.
I tried to then issue the "Set Window buttonpad_id Hide" but it said I
couldn't do that to that kind of window, so I tried "Close Window
buttonpad_id" instead and it would appear that when I used the
FrontWindow() command it was picking up the map window instead of the
button pad I had just created as the map window closes and not the
button pad.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
Here is the code:
Create ButtonPad "Accept" As
PushButton
Icon 185
HelpMsg "Click to accept when happy"
Calling Accept_changes
PushButton
Icon 195
HelpMsg "Click to reject"
Calling reject_changes
Width 3
Position (2,2)
Show
Float
buttonpad_id = FrontWindow()
'The following would not work with the window in question
'Set Window buttonpad_id
' Hide
Close Window buttonpad_id 'this closed the
map window
Many thanks
Nicki
