Window Definition IDs

Window Resource IDs

CHANGED WITH THE APPEARANCE MANAGER

You can use one of these constants to create a window definition ID. The standard Appearance-compliant resource ID constants kWindowDocumentDefProcResID, kWindowUtilityDefProcResID, and kWindowUtilitySideTitleDefProcResID have collapse boxes.

Note

Resource IDs 0 through 127 are reserved for use by the system.

enum {    
   kStandardWindowDefinition  = 0,  
   kRoundWindowDefinition     = 1,  
   kWindowDocumentDefProcResID= 64,
   kWindowDialogDefProcResID  = 65,
   kWindowUtilityDefProcResID = 66,
   kWindowUtilitySideTitleDefProcResID = 67,
   kFloatingWindowDefinition  = 124 
};

Constant descriptions

kStandardWindowDefinition

Defines pre-Appearance standard document windows and dialog boxes. When mapping is enabled, this resource ID is mapped to kWindowDocumentDefProcResID or kWindowDialogDefProcResID. When mapped to kWindowDocumentDefProcResID, this produces an Appearance-compliant standard document window with no size box and no vertical or horizontal zoom box. When mapped to kWindowDialogDefProcResID, this produces an Appearance-compliant dialog box with no size box and a 3-pixel space between the dialog box's content and structure region.

kRoundWindowDefinition

Defines pre-Appearance standard desk-accessory style windows. This resource ID is not mapped to any Appearance-compliant resource ID when mapping is enabled.

kWindowDocumentDefProcResID

Defines Appearance-compliant standard document windows with a size box. Standard document windows created with this resource ID can use variation codes to create windows with vertical and horizontal zoom boxes.

kWindowDialogDefProcResID

Defines Appearance-compliant dialog and alert boxes. Modal and movable modal dialog boxes created with this resource ID are displayed with no space between their content and structure region. Alert boxes created with this resource ID are displayed with a red-tinged border.

kWindowUtilityDefProcResID

Defines Appearance-compliant utility (floating) windows with a top title bar and a size box.

kWindowUtilitySideTitleDefProcResID

Defines Appearance-compliant utility (floating) windows with a side title bar and a size box.

kFloatingWindowDefinition

Defines pre-Appearance utility (floating) windows. When mapping is enabled, this resource ID is mapped to kWindowUtilityDefProcResID or kWindowUtilitySideTitleDefProcResID. When mapped to kWindowUtilityDefProcResID, this produces an Appearance-compliant utility window with no size box until DrawGrowIcon is called. When mapped to kWindowUtilitySideTitleDefProcResID, it produces an Appearance-compliant utility window with a side title bar and no size box until DrawGrowIcon is called.

WHEN THE APPEARANCE MANAGER IS NOT AVAILABLE

Only the following window resource ID constants are supported:

   kStandardWindowDefinition  = 0,  
   kRoundWindowDefinition     = 1,  
   kFloatingWindowDefinition  = 124
