PROPERTY_FALSE Specifies that the property is to be set to the
FALSE state. This applies specifically to the VISIBLE property.
The following constants can be passed as arguments for use with the
WINDOW_STATE property:
NORMAL Specifies that the window is displayed normally according to
the current Width, Height, X Position, and Y Position property settings.
MAXIMIZE Specifies that the window is enlarged to fill the screen
according to the display style of the window manager.
MINIMIZE Specifies that the window is minimized, or iconified.
x Specifies the NUMBER value of the x coordinate or the width, depending
on the property you specified. Specify the argument in form coordinate
system units.
y Specifies the NUMBER value of the y coordinate or the height, depending
on the property you specified. Specify the argument in form coordinate
system units.
Usage Notes
On Microsoft Windows, forms run inside the MDI application window. You can use
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY to set the following properties of the MDI application window:
• TITLE
• POSITION
• WIDTH, HEIGHT
• WINDOW_SIZE
• WINDOW_STATE
• X_POS, Y_POS
To reference the MDI application window in a call to SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY, use the constant
FORMS_MDI_WINDOW:
Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, POSITION, 5,10)
Set_Window_Property(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW, WINDOW_STATE, MINIMIZE)
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY restrictions
• If you change the size or position of a window, the change remains in effect for as long as the form
is running, or until you explicitly change the window’s size or position again. Closing the window
and reopening it does not reset the window to its design-time defaults. You must assign the designtime
defaults to variables if you intend to set the window back to those defaults.
