FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 96
Compatibility
This script step is also supported in web publishing and in a FileMaker Server scheduled script.
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
The new window has the same layout, same table, same found set, and same current record as the
original window.
Notes
• Window names created with the New Window script step do not have to be unique.
• Window name selection is not case-sensitive.
• It is not necessary to enter values for each option. When no value is entered,
FileMaker
Pro uses the default value associated with the Window menu > New
Window command.
• Minimum height and minimum width depend on the operating system of the user
performing the script. If the height or width you specify are less than the minimum,
FileMaker
Pro uses the minimum values.
• If the window height or width values you specify exceed the user’s screen resolution,
FileMaker
Pro uses the maximum values possible.
• You can create a new window off-screen by supplying negative top and/or left values,
which can be useful for multiple monitor environments.
• If you select Show Compatibility, the string (VIRTUAL WINDOW ON WEB) is added to
the script step display to indicate to the user that a new virtual window is opened in the
same browser window.
Examples
Go to Layout [“Data Entry”]
New Window [Name: “Enter data here”; Height: 400; Width: 600;
