You can set this property before opening the window. Numbers 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, and 17 through 48 have no effect when used as the windowType
value.
You can change the windowType
setting after a window has been opened, but a delay may occur while the window is redrawn.
If no windowType
setting is specified, a value of 0 is used.
In Microsoft Windows, these numbers create windows with the same functionality jsut described, but with a Windows appearance. Other values for windowType
are possible, but use them with caution, because some modal windows can be exited only when you restart the computer.
Example
This statement sets the value of the display style of the window named Control Panel to 8:
window("Control Panel").windowType = 8
