Window.Frame Undocumented?!?

I might wanted to check the .Frame property of one of my windows, so I go to the language reference and search for Window.Frame.

That opens the Window page, which shows a Property of .Frame

Clicking .Frame gets me the same Window page, instead of something helpful about .Frame

Nowhere does it list frame types. I also tried looking in the User Guide, no luck.

I want the old language reference back, I’m sure it had info on possible frame types!

http://documentation.xojo.com/index.php/Window.Frame

This property is only available at application design time
The window type. Set the desired Frame type in the Properties pane.
Notes

Frame is set to one of the following values:
Value Class Constant
0 Document window
1 Movable Modal window
2 Modal Dialog box
3 Floating window
4 Plain box
5 Shadowed box
6 Rounded window
7 Global floating window
8 Sheet window (displayed as such on Mac OS X only)
9 Metal window (displayed as such on Mac OS X 10.2 and above only)
Introduced 5.0
10 Drawer window (displayed as such on Mac OS X 10.2 Carbon and above only. Drawer windows are not supported on Cocoa).
Introduced 5.0
11 Modeless Dialog box (displayed as a Document window for OSs that do not have this concept)

The various frame types are covered in the User Guide Book 2: User Interface.

Thanks!

I knew it had to be somewhere, but I’m puzzled as to why it’s not in the Language Reference.

The classic LR is at http://documentation.xojo.com/
The new LR is at developer.xojo.com/

Will have to see why its not in the new reference - would seem a bug more than anything

Oh trust me the old reference had its own issues
Ever try to search it for #if ? or #pragma - they basically couldn’t work because the # is special in URLS

It wasn’t “bug free” either

I expect this is just some markup in the wiki that’s wrong and so the actual page isn’t found

confirmed - its a bug in the program that creates the local db

Wow look at that turnaround time :wink:

That one was “slow”
I’ve had reports from users reported & fixed in < 15 minutes :slight_smile:

An MDI Container form which frame should have?
