FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 113
Note If you clear the Specify Advanced Style checkbox, you will lose any advanced style
settings that have been created.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
The new window has the same layout, same table, same found set, and same current record as the
original window.
Notes
• Window names created with the New Window script step do not have to be unique.
• Window name selection is not case-sensitive.
• It is not necessary to enter values for each option. When no value is entered, FileMaker Pro
uses the default value associated with the Window menu
> New Window command.
• Minimum height and minimum width depend on the operating system of the user performing
the script. If the height or width you specify are less than the minimum, FileMaker
Pro uses
the minimum values.
• If the window height or width values you specify exceed the user’s screen resolution,
FileMaker
Pro uses the maximum values possible.
• You can create a new window off-screen by supplying negative top and/or left values, which
can be useful for multiple monitor environments.
• If you select Show Compatibility, the string (VIRTUAL WINDOW ON WEB) is added to the
script step display to indicate to the user that a new virtual window is opened in the same
browser window.
• There are some restrictions when you use script steps with dialog windows. For more
information, see Specify Advanced Style Options dialog box.
• When a dialog window is open, subsequent New Window script steps create only dialog
windows.
• Window style settings are not supported in web publishing or FileMaker Go.
Kiosk mode (FileMaker Pro Advanced)
• Any new document window created in Kiosk mode is a standard Kiosk-mode window and
the status toolbar is hidden.
