Script Steps Reference

84 FileMaker Script Steps Reference
• 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).
