Options to Activate/Hide/Maxmize/Minimize

Window_Options_to_Activate

-a

Syntax: window -a winName

Set winName as the active window.
This option also has the effect of a Windows Restore if the active window is maximized or minimized.

repeat 5 {newbook;}; // Create 5 new workbooks.
window -a book3; // activate Book3 window

This example produces two graphs tiled horizontally while all other windows made iconized.

newbook;wks.nCols=3; //new wkbook with 3 cols
col(1)=data(1,10);
col(2)=normal(10);
col(3)=col(1)+col(2);// fill some data

range aa = (1,2);    // define XYRange
range bb = (1,3);
string strG1$, strG2$; // local string to receive new plot names

plotxy aa ogl:=[<new>];strG1$=%H;
plotxy bb ogl:=[<new>];strG2$=%H;

doc -e o {win -i}; // iconized all windows
win -a %(strG1$);  // opens the two graphs
win -a %(strG2$);

win -s tv;         //and tile vertically

-af

Syntax: window -af [n] [millisecond]

Flash active window n times with millisecond timeout.

• If neither n nor millisecond is specified, active window flashes 4 times by default, with timeout set by system variable @AWF. No flashing if @AWF = 0.
• If n is specified but no millisecond, use 200ms timeout by default.
• If n is a negative integer and no millisecond is specified, timeout folows system variable @AWF. No flashing if @AWF = 0.

win -af;//flash 4 times, use timeout set by @AWF, if @AWF = 0, no flashing
win -af 5;//flash 5 times, use 200ms timeout
win -af 5 300;//flash 5 times, use 300ms timeout
win -af -5;//flash 5 times, follow @AWF for timeout, if AWF=0 no flashing

-an; Activate the winName notes window=

Syntax: window -an winName

Activate (restore) the winName notes window.

//to pop up the embedded Notes window.
win -an %@G;

-b

Syntax: window -b winName

Open or set as active, the specified window.
This command option is obsolete. Use the GetNamedWin macro instead.
Example:
This example finds the first window in the Window menu window list that begins with graph and sets it as the active window. If no window is found, it creates a Graph1 window.

win -b graph;

-ch

Syntax: window -ch n

Hide the active window (window's Project Explorer view mode changes).

• n = 1, hide the active window
• n = 0, show the active window.

For example, if the window was in Normal view, it changes to Hidden view (Project Explorer View column) when n = 1. See also, win -h.

newbook name:=Test option:=lsname; // Create a new workbook named "Test", it is
                                   //activated automatically after created.
window -ch 1; // Hide workbook Test.
window -a Test; // Restore it.

-h

Syntax: window win -h n

Hide the active window (window's Project Explorer view mode is not changed).

• n = 1, hide the active window
• n = 0, show the active window.

The window's Project Explorer view mode remains set to its current view (for example, Normal or Maximized), but it does not display. See also, win -ch.

-hc

Syntax: window win -hc n [windowName]

Hide the active or named window and change the view mode. This is the same as win -ch, but supports the windowName option.

// Hide Book2, even if it is not the active window:
win -hc 1 Book2;

// Functions just like 'win -ch 1' would:
win -hc 1;

-hn

Syntax: window win -hn n NotesWindowName

Hide or show a notes window, where

• n = 1; Hide the Notes window
• n = 0; Show the hidden Notes window

-i

Syntax: window -i

Minimize the active window.

-ia

Syntax: window -ia

Minimize the active window and force activation of the previously active window.

-in

Syntax: window -in winName

Minimize the winName notes window.

-r

Syntax: window -r

Restore current window from being maximized or minimized.

Syntax: window -r windowName newName

Rename windowName with the given newName.

-z

Syntax: window -z

Maximize the active window.

-zn

Syntax: window -zn winName
