Controlling Window Size and Location

GISDK provides full control over the size and location of windows. Window sizes and positions are expressed in numbers ranging from 0 to 100, where the number represents a percentage of the size of the frame. The functions shown in the following table are used for this purpose:

Function	What it does
ArrangeIcons()	Arranges all minimized windows
CascadeWindows()	Cascades open windows
GetAbsoluteWindowSize()	Determines the absolute size of a window
GetWindowPosition()	Gets the position of a window
GetWindowSize()	Determines the size of a window
MaximizeWindow()	Maximizes a window so that it fills the Maptitude client area
MinimizeWindow()	Minimizes (iconizes) the specified window
RestoreWindow()	Restores a window to its original size
SetWindowPosition()	Sets the position of a window
SetWindowSize()	Sets the size of the specified or currently active window
SetWindowSizePixels()	Sets the size of the specified or currently active window
TileWindows()	Tiles all open windows

Here is a short example:

// Set the frame (the program window) to fill the entire screen

SetWindowPosition("Frame|", 0, 0)

SetWindowSize("Frame|", 100, 100)

// Now, get the names of all the windows

win_info = GetWindows()

win_names = win_info[1]

win_types = win_info[2]

//Loop over windows, minimizing all editors and layouts

for i = 1 to win_types.length

if win_types[i] <> "Map" then MinimizeWindow(win_names[i])

end

// Finally, tile all the maps on the screen

TileWindows()
