ILEMAKER PRO SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 173
Freeze Window
Purpose
Stops updating the active window.
Format
Freeze Window
Options
None.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Use Freeze Window to hide actions from the user while FileMaker Pro performs the remainder of
the script. Use a Refresh Window or a Pause/Resume script step to resume updating the active
window after a Freeze Window script step.
Note A Refresh Window step is not needed if it would be the last step in a script. FileMaker Pro
automatically turns off Freeze Window and refreshes the display when a script ends. Use Refresh
Window to force a window update within a script.
Example 1
Freezes the window, goes to the Print Invoices layout, prints, and returns to the original layout.
Freeze Window
Go to Layout ["Print Invoices"]
Print [Restore: Printer; With dialog: Off]
Go to Layout [original layout]
