ILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 209

Get(WindowOrientation)

Purpose

Returns a value indicating the orientation of the window on which the script is acting (not necessarily

the foreground window).

Format

Get(WindowOrientation)

Parameters

None

Data type returned

number

Originated in

FileMaker Pro 13.0

Description

Returns:

• -2 for landscape left

• -1 for landscape right

• 0 for square (FileMaker Pro and FileMaker WebDirect only)

• 1 for portrait

• 2 for portrait upside down

Examples

If the window that the current script is acting on is in portrait orientation,

Get(WindowOrientation) returns 1.

You have a calculation field named Orientation that uses Get(WindowOrientation) to return a

value as listed above. You have another calculation field that references the Orientation field and

uses the If function

, which returns Portrait if the Orientation field returns a value greater than 0 and

returns Landscape if the Orientation field returns a value less than 0:

If(Orientation > 0;”Portrait”;”Landscape”)
