ENUMERATION NAME

BWinFlags

DESCRIPTION

BWinFlags is the set of flags for the class BlankWin. This enumeration is a bitset..SH ENUMITEMS

eBWinOverlay: description This is a hint for the window system to save the area under the window before it is opened and restore that area after closing. The advantage is that the underlying windows need not redraw themselves if they are exposed again.
eBWinOverlay is set for rather small windows that are visible only a short time, e.g. menus and alerts.
eBWinBlock: description If eBWinBlock is set and the window is opened, then all other windows of the application are blocked until the window is closed again. Blocked means that only the just opened window gets mouse and keyboard events. This kind of windows are called modefull (or also modal) and are used for menus, alerts, file dialogs, etc. Normal windows, however, are referred to as modeless. Modefull windows may be nested. For example, a modefull dialog opens another modefull dialog which pops up a menu with a submenu, and so on.
eBWinActive: description The class Window sets this flag when the mouse cursor enters the window. It is used to highlight the window title area showing that the window has the keyboard focus.
eBWinFixed: description If eBWinFixed is set, then the associated window is not resizable. The class Dialog automatically sets this flag if eBWinBlock is set.
eBWinWasOpen: description The class Document sets this flag when the windows of a document are iconified according to their open state. When the document is deiconified again it knows which windows to reopen.
eBWinDefault: description The default set of flags is 0.
eBWinLast: description The first flag of subclasses is BIT(eBWinLast+1).
