Example

// Name of current widow
ResCurrentWin = CurrentWin()

Syntax

<Result> = CurrentWin()

<Result>: Character string

Name of the window currently in edit,
Alias of the window currently in edit (if this alias was specified when the window was opened).

Remarks

Uppercase/Lowercase characters

The window name can be written in uppercase or lowercase characters. We recommend that you use the "~=" operator (flexible equality) to compare the window name returned by CurrentWin to a hard-coded window name.

For example:

IF CurrentWin() ~= "EditWindow" THEN
...
END

Current window

The <Result> of CurrentWin depends on the event where CurrentWin is called:

Calling event	Result of CurrentWin.

The window takes focus	Name of the current window (window that takes focus).
The window loses focus	Name of the current window (window that loses focus).
Resizing the window	Name of the current window (window is resized).
Initializing the window	Empty string ("").
Global declarations	Name of the previous window (window where the child window will be opened).
Closing the window	Name of the current window (window that is closed).
Initializing the control	Name of the previous window. An empty string ("") if there is no previous window.

To find out the window currently run, you have the ability to use the MyWindow keyword.
