ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 170
Notes
• 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 original location and size of the window as default values.
• Minimum window height and width depend on the script user’s operating system. If the
height and width values you specify are less than the minimum, FileMaker
Pro uses the
minimum values.
• 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).
• OS X: This script step has no effect on a full-screen window, and returns an error code.
