AppWindowHeight, AppWindowHeight()

Syntax

AppWindowHeight [WindowName$,] Height
AppWindowHeight([WindowName$])

Example

The AppWindowHeight statement adjusts the height of an application window to a specified number of points (if WindowName$ is omitted, Word is assumed). AppWindowHeight allows you to change the height of a window without affecting its width (unlike AppSize). The AppWindowHeight() function returns the height of an application window, in points. For argument descriptions, see AppSize.


 Sub MAIN
  x = 0
  state = AppMaximize()
  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore
   x = AppWindowHeight()
   MsgBox "The height of this window is: " + Str$(x)
   AppWindowHeight x - 100
   MsgBox "The height of this window is: " + Str$(x - 100)
 End Sub

AppWindowPosLeft, AppWindowPosLeft()

Syntax

AppWindowPosLeft [WindowName$,] HorizPos
AppWindowPosLeft([WindowName$])

Example

The AppWindowPosLeft statement moves an application window or icon to a horizontal position specified in points (if WindowName$ is omitted, Word is assumed). AppWindowPosLeft allows you to change the horizontal position of a window or icon without affecting its vertical position (unlike AppMove). The AppWindowPosLeft() function returns the horizontal position of an application window or icon, in points. For argument descriptions, see AppMove.


 Sub MAIN
  state = AppMaximize()
  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore
   x = AppWindowPosLeft()
   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x)
   AppWindowPosLeft x + 100
   MsgBox "The distance from the left is: " + Str$(x +100)
 End Sub

AppWindowPosTop, AppWindowPosTop()

Syntax

AppWindowPosTop [WindowName$,] VertPos
AppWindowPosTop([WindowName$])

Example

The AppWindowPosTop statement moves an application window or icon to a vertical position specified in points (if WindowName$ is omitted, Word is assumed). AppWindowPosTop allows you to change the vertical position of a window or icon without affecting its horizontal position (unlike AppMove). The AppWindowPosTop() function returns the vertical position of an application window or icon, in points. For argument descriptions, see AppMove.


 Sub MAIN
  x = 0
  state = AppMaximize()
  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore
   x = AppWindowPosTop()
   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x)
   AppWindowPosTop x + 100
   MsgBox "The distance from the top is: " + Str$(x + 100)
 End Sub

AppWindowWidth, AppWindowWidth()

Syntax

AppWindowWidth [WindowName$,] Width
AppWindowWidth([WindowName$])

Example

The AppWindowWidth statement adjusts the width of an application window to a specified number of points (if WindowName$ is omitted, Word is assumed). AppWindowWidth allows you to change the width of a window without affecting its height (unlike AppSize). The AppWindowWidth() function returns the width of an application window, in points. For argument descriptions, see AppSize.


 Sub MAIN
  x = 0
  state = AppMaximize()
  If state = - 1 Then AppRestore
   x = AppWindowWidth()
   MsgBox "The width of this window is: " + Str$(x)
   AppWindowWidth x / 2
   MsgBox "The width of this window is: " + Str$(x / 2)
