OpenWindowEx

OpenWindowEx()

Syntax

WindowID (HWND) = OpenWindowEx(Title$, x, y, InnerWidth, InnerHeight, Flags.i, Skin.i, ParentHwnd.i)

Description

Note this command is currently experimental and unsupported.

Opens/Creates a new window according to the specified parameters. Title$ is the text string that will be displayed in the window's title bar. x and y are the coordinates of where the new window will be positioned on screen. InnerWidth and InnerHeight specify the required client area (without borders and window decorations).

 
The new window becomes the active window unless the window is created as invisible.
 
Skin.i is currently an inactive place-holder parameter there for future expansion.

 
ParentHwnd.i specifies the handle of the window that our new window will be contained inside and can be null.
