Syntax

'Declaration
Public MustOverride Property CurrentWindow As Integer

public abstract int CurrentWindow { get; set; }

public:
virtual property int CurrentWindow {
    int get () abstract;
    void set (int value) abstract;
}

/** @property */
public abstract int get_CurrentWindow ()

/** @property */
public abstract void set_CurrentWindow (int value)

public abstract function get CurrentWindow () : int

public abstract function set CurrentWindow (value : int)

Remarks

Several properties are associated with each window: Rows, Columns, CursorRow, CursorColumn, CursorUpdate, CursorType, MarqueeFormat, MarqueeType, MarqueeUnitWait, MarqueeRepeatWait, and InterCharacterWait.

When the application sets CurrentWindow, it changes the active window (for display) and sets the associated properties to their values for this window.

Setting a window does not update its viewport. If this window and another window’s viewports overlap, and the other window has changed the viewport, then the application can call the RefreshWindow method to restore this window’s viewport contents.

CurrentWindow is typically initialized to 0, the device window. CurrentWindow is updated when the application calls the CreateWindow or DestroyWindow methods.

Accessing CurrentWindow may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode.

Value	Meaning
Illegal	CurrentWindow has been set to a value that is not valid.
