CreateWindowFromCollection

Creates a window from collection data.



 
pascal OSStatus CreateWindowFromCollection (

                     Collection collection,

                     WindowPtr *outWindow);

collection: A reference to the collection to be used in creating the window. You pass a reference to a previously created collection, such as that returned by the Collection Manager function NewCollection . The collection used to create the window must contain the required items for a resource of type 'wind' or window creation fails.
outWindow: A pointer to a value of type WindowPtr . On return, the window pointer points to the newly created window.
function result: A result code. See Result Codes.

DISCUSSION

The CreateWindowFromCollection function creates a window invisibly and places it at the front of the window list. After calling CreateWindowFromCollection , you should set any desired associated data--using Window Manager or Control Manager accessor functions--then call the function TransitionWindow to display the window. The number of references to the collection (that is, its owner count) is incremented by a minimum of one for the duration of this call.
