INDEX Property

 

Returns the Window index number

 

 

Description:

 

Each Window that is defined within a program has a unique index number to identify it. The INDEX Property returns a numeric value for any Window defined in the program

 

Syntax:

 

    THISWINDOW | <FormName>.INDEX --> nIndexNumber

 

Valid For Use With:

 

This Property is assumed to be available for use with all Window types

 

Notes:

  1. This property is only available after Window definition

  2. Using this property gets a value representing the index number of the Window running at Program level as opposed to the Operating System

  3. For information on how to get numeric value for the Operating System level refer to the HANDLE Property

  4. It is recommended that <FormName>.INDEX is used rather than THISWINDOW.INDEX to ensure accurate results. Previous testing has found that results may not be as expected otherwise

  5. No help documentation was published with the original or subsequent releases of HMG
