GetWindowAttributes

Obtains the attributes of a window.



 
pascal OSStatus GetWindowAttributes (

                     WindowPtr window,

                     WindowAttributes *outAttributes);

window: A value of type WindowPtr . Pass a pointer to the window whose attributes you wish to obtain.
outAttributes: A pointer to an unsigned 32-bit value of type WindowAttributes . On return, the bits are set to the attributes of the specified window. See Window Attribute Constants for a description of possible attributes. With Mac OS 8.5, if the window was not originally created using the function CreateNewWindow , then all attribute bits are set to 0, and GetWindowAttributes returns a paramErr (-50) result.
function result: A result code. See Result Codes.

DISCUSSION

Window attributes specify a window's features (such as whether the window has a close box) and logical attributes (such as whether the window receives update and activate events).
