Parameter | Description | Example value |
---|---|---|
Index | 0 based index of the current windows open in FileMaker. If no value is entered then 0 is assumed. Using 0 will give the window reference for the current window. See caution in description |
Returns the Window Reference for a window specified by the Index parameter. The Window Reference is a unique ID handed out by the operating system. It is used by the rest of the Window Functions. Caution: Passing 0 for Index will grab the front most window which should be your FileMaker window, but it could be any window including dialogs. This is a particular problem with the “Data Viewer” which is always in the front. Window.FindByTitle was added to version 1.1 as a more reliable way of getting the Window.Ref
