ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 88
• Maximum window height and width depend on the script user’s screen resolution. If the
height or width values you specify are greater than the maximum, FileMaker
Pro uses
the maximum value possible.
• You can move a window off-screen by supplying negative top and/or left values, which
can be useful for multiple monitor environments.
• Windows: FileMaker Pro orients the moved window to the top left corner of the visible
part of the application window. Note that this may not be the (0,0) point of the window,
depending on how the current file window is positioned (for example, if half of the file
window extends past the left border of the application window, you would need to scroll
to the left to see the (0,0) point of the application window).
Examples

prevent overlapping.
• Tile Vertically positions open windows in a top/bottom orientation. Windows are resized to
prevent overlapping.

corner of the screen. Windows are resized to fill the screen, less any offset.

are not resized.

window, and active record are not affected by this script step.
