does not include the
status toolbar if it is currently showing.

and footer area.
• In FileMaker Go, the content area includes the layout but doesn’t include the status bar,
menu bar, or toolbar.

to determine the height of the title bar and horizontal scroll bar:
Get(WindowHeight) - Get(WindowContentHeight) returns 37 when the window height is
437 and the status toolbar isn’t showing.
Example 3
For iPhone 4-inch devices in portrait orientation, the height is 44 points for the menu bar, 44 points
for the toolbar, and 20 points for the status bar. The Get(WindowContentHeight) function returns:
460 when toolbar, menu bar, and status bar are showing
548 when toolbar and menu bar are hidden but status bar is showing
