The MDI style document window.
Represents a window. Each Window object is a member of the Windows collection. The Window object contains the most general methods and properties for all window types. Window objects of specific types, such as ModelWindow, FieldWindow, XYPlotWindow, and TableWindow inherit from the Window object and add some specific methods and properties.
When you create a new or open an existing Document, it creates the Window automatically. You can refer to it as <WindowsCollection>.Item (1), where WindowsCollection is a variable or expression of the Windows type.
To create a new window for the same document, use the NewWindow method of the IDocument object.
The Close method of the Window object closes the window.
Using the Close method for the only document's window also closes the document. If this is the case, you can provide a file name for saving the document.
| Set geom = Models.Add | 'Create a new empty model document |
| Dim winGeom as QuickField.Window | |
| Set winGeom = geom.Windows (1) | 'Get document's window |
| Dim winGeom2 as QuickField.Window | |
| Set winGeom2 = geom.NewWindow | 'Create another window for the same document |
| geom.Windows.Arrange qfTileHorisontally | 'Arrange document's windows |
| ............... | |
| winGeom2.Close | 'Close the second window |
| winGeom.Close |
'Close the only document's window.
'The document closes automatically |
A Window object has properties and methods that allows you to control the window's visibility, size and position on the screen. You can also get and set the window caption.
Methods GetPicture and
GettBitmap put the picture to the Windows clipboard.
The GetPicture method has no parameters and puts into clipboard the vector picture in WMF (Windows Metafile) format,
or EMF (Extended Windows Metafile) format.
The GetBitmap method puts there the raster image (Device Independent Bitmap - DIB).
The parameters define the height and width of the bitmap (in pixels) and its color depth (number of bits
per pixel).
There is a Window object corresponding to the QuickField main window. You can get it using the MainWindow property of the Application object. In the next example we make the QuickField main window visible and then maximize it:
Dim QF As New QuickField.Application
QF.MainWindow.Visible = True
QF.MainWindow.WindowState = qfMaximized
