I guess :) so Thanks Chip > > but how they map to 4D constants for Open window is anybody's guess.

Re: Window type -724 (more info)
You should look at the v17 docs for the window types that will work going forward. A lot of these old window types won’t work on 64-bit - it won’t crash but some odd things happen like opening the new form in the existing window, etc. Stick to the v17 documented window types for best results going forward > On Jun 19, 2019, at 3:35 PM, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> > wrote: > > I have no idea! :) > > this is a floating window I use for window management. > In my system it contains a listbox with all open windows/processes. > > I have been using this for ages.

Re: Window type -724 (more info)
I may be mistaken but I have a feeling that these kind of "magic" window types (for want of a better description) are a relic of the ancient history of the Mac (we are talking as far back Mac OS OS 7 and 8) and there availability in 4D is an un-documented feature and therefore wholly unsupported. I think it goes without saying that the only window types you should consider will work tomorrow as they do today are those as defined by the 4D window constants.

Re: Window type -724 (more info)
I have no idea! :) this is a floating window I use for window management. In my system it contains a listbox with all open windows/processes. I have been using this for ages. On a Mac. I was just working with windows version of a 4D app that uses this window (same purpose) and it looks like crap because even though there is *supposed* to be text in the title area there is nothing, and the title area on windows is huuuge (said like our idiot in chief). I was trying to figure out how I created the window type so I could try to modify it for windows to look better. (to Keith directly - I attached a screen capture of the window) Chip On Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:08:30 -0500, Keith Culotta via 4D_Tech wrote: > > > How did you find this window type?

Re: Window type -724 (more info)
Description of the window that is opened with -724 - It has ONLY a close button - it is indeed a floating window - it is resizable - it has/accepts a window title - on switching away from 4D the window disappears, only to show up at the same location when returning to 4D - the window title area appears narrower the a standard type 8 window Thanks again Chip On Wed, 19 Jun 2019 14:13:56 -0400, Chip Scheide via 4D_Tech wrote: > How does this value come about? > I know the '-' makes it a floating window > but how is the value 724 generated? > > Thanks > Chip > --- > Gas is for washing parts > Alcohol is for drinkin' > Nitromethane is for racing > ** > 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) > Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html > Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech > Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com > ** --- Gas is for washing parts Alcohol is for drinkin' Nitromethane is for racing ** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **
