Default Adjust Window script step in FM8.5, resizes all open windows !!! ??? - 02-18-2007 , 05:59 AM






I realized that the ADJUST WINDOW script step, with the RESIZE TO FIT
option, performs the action to all the open windows and not on just the
current one !!!
Is that the case or I am doing something wrong?

Not knowing what version of FileMker you're using on what platform, all I can do is relate that I do not see the behavior you describe in 8.5 Advanced, neither on Windows XP nor on OSX.

I created a script which opens 6 new windows in succession, followed by an Adjust Window [ Resize to Fit ] step.

Only the last window opened (Current Window) is resized.

Help is not specific, but "FileMaker 8 Functions & Scripts" (Love, Lane and Bowers) is: the step affects the current window.

Is the step in a loop?

If you are trying to have some windows maximized and other windows sized
to fit, then no you cannot do that. The Adjust Window step only works
on the current window, but FileMaker on Windows does not allow some
windows to be maximized and others to be non-maximized.

I am thinking that there is confusion over exactly what is happening here.

Let's start fresh.

First, WHAT VERSION AND PLATFORM?
