WINDOW
EDIT
specifies that a window is created in edit mode. When you create a window with
the EDIT option, the window has edit mode enabled. You can edit the text
appearing within an EDIT window immediately.
To disable an edit-mode window, place the cursor on its sill, type either Save (S) or
Escape (E), and press the Enter key.
NOEDIT
specifies that a window is created in normal mode, not in edit mode. NOEDIT is the
default.
To place windows that are not menus in edit mode, press F5 or F6 from their sill.
EOFONLY
pages directly to the last page of window cache. You can toggle the EOFSEEK and
EOFONLY attributes on and off with the DEL-LINE key on the right side of the
keyboard.
EOFSEEK
causes a window to dynamically seek the last page of messages in cache by
refreshing the display with the most recent messages every REFRESH seconds
when REFRESH is active. (See the REFRESH option of the ALTER statement). If
directed to other than the last page of text, the window text dynamically seeks its
way back to the end of cache (EOF).
The EOFSEEK option pages through the window cache from the current page
location in cache to find the end of cache.
FIELDS [ (attribute-keywords ) | "["video,field"]" ]
indicates that window text containing left “[” and right “]” square brackets is
automatically reformatted to data entry input fields. Thus, the window behaves as a
data entry input panel.
You can specify both default and individual field attributes. This option defaults to
NOPAGES (see NOPAGES on page 9-128) for nonmenu windows.
You can optionally specify default attributes with a list of attribute keywords
enclosed in parentheses or with video and field values enclosed in square
brackets.
For example:
WINDOW .. FIELD (REVERSE DIM NUMERIC); { is equivalent to
WINDOW .. FIELD [ myVid, myFld ];
VAR myVid:=5, myFld:=4; { Where 5=> reverse dim, 4=> numeric.
