Description
Adjusts the size or location of the chosen window. The adjusted window maintains the
same layout, same table, same found set
, and same current record as the original
window.
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.
