MAINWINDOW

PLBCMP GUI Only

The MAINWINDOW instruction gives a PL/B user program access to properties and events for the main window like one expects for other Window objects. To define a MAINWINDOW, use one of the following statement formats:

(1)	[label]	MAINWINDOW	[%]
(2)	[label]	MAINWINDOW	^
(3)	[label]	MAINWINDOW	^,{target}

Where:

label

Optional. A Data Label.

Optional. Denotes the item as being GLOBAL.

Optional. Denotes the item as being a POINTER.

target

Required. The name of a previously defined data item of the same type.

Flags Affected: NONE

Note the following:

This object can be used in the same manner as a WINDOW object except it is not supported for a CREATE or DESTROY statement. The compiler will give a compilation error if it is detected in a CREATE or DESTROY instruction.
The ^ denotes Pointer Variable.
