ids is a sequence of ids to change
disttype is one of, or a list of ...
pValue, if used with the ...Most options, is the minimum position. When used with the other options it is the exact position to use. It can be a pixel value or an id value in a sequence.
Example
-- Align them all to fld3's left edge.
alignControls({fld1,fld3,fld4,fld7}, w32LeftEdge, {fld3})
-- Move these up to whatever among them is the topmost fld.
alignControls({fld2,fld0,fld9,fld5}, w32TopMost, 0 )
-- Center fld9 with respect to the screen
alignControls(fld9, {w32VertCentre,w32HorzCentre}, {Screen} )

If flag is w32True, the control id is set to have CanFocus, otherwise it is set off. The default for controls is on.
If id is a single control id, then the return value is a integer.
If id is a sequence of controls, then the return value is a sequence
containing one status flag per control referenced in id.
id can be either a single control id or a list of ids in a sequence.
CanFocus means that when the control gets focus, and if it's CanFocus property is off, then the focus is not set.
Example:
sequence asv
asv = canFocus({fldName, fldAddress}, w32False)

pControl specifies either a single control id or a list of control ids
pPropId specifies a unique 'name' for the property.
pData is the data used to initialize the property. This value is also used
by resetUserProperty.
This is used to create a property or attribute of a control that is not standard. You can use this property however you like. The most common usage is to store information for specific controls that are not normally tracked.
Example:
-- Create a property called 'OrigValue' for three controls.
defineUserProperty({fldName, fldAddr, fldPhone},
"OrigValue", "")

pControl specifies the id of the control. This can be either a
single id, or a list of ids in a sequence.
pPropId specifies a
property defined by an early call to defineUserProperty.
Examples:
deleteUserProperty(fldX, "Animation")
deleteUserProperty( {fldA, fldB, fldC}, "TimeOut")

When a control is destroyed, it releases its resources back to Windows. This also means that a parent control also destroys its child controls.
When the control being destroyed is a Window, it cannot be reopened. If you want to be able to reopen a window, use closeWindow() instead of destroy().
When this is called, but before the control is actually destroyed, the w32HDestroy event is triggered, enabling you to clean up things associated with this control. Or even prevent the control from being destroyed, by returning -1 from the event handler.
The following will destroy a pushbutton called MyButton.
-- destroy a pushbutton
destroy( MyButton )

ids is the set of controls to distribute. There must be at least two ids
in the sequence.
disttype is the type of distribution required. It can be one of...
Examples
-- Move these fields such that the horizontal gap between
-- each is the same amount. In this case, fld1 and fld3 remain
-- still while fld2 is centered between them.
distributeControls( {fld1, fld2, fld3}, w32HorzGap, 0)
-- Move these fields such that the horizontal gap between
-- each is the same amount. In this case, only fld1 remains
-- still while fld2 and fld3 are moved such that the distance
-- between fld1 and fld3 is 200 pixels.
distributeControls( {fld1, fld2, fld3}, w32HorzGap, 200)
-- Move these fields such that the horizontal gap between
-- each is the same amount. In this case, only fld1 remains
-- still while fld2 and fld3 are moved such that the distance
-- between fld1 and fld3 is the width of fld4.
distributeControls( {fld1, fld2, fld3}, w32HorzGap, {fld4} )

Each subsequence returned has the control id and the control's type, for
all the controls owned by id.
It returns an empty sequence if the id has no children.
Example
sequence children
-- Get a list of all the controls owned by this window
children = findChildren(myWin)
-- Set the caption for each of the PushButtons.
for i = 1 to length(children) do
if find(children[i][2],{PushButton,DefPushButton}) then

The first subsequences is a list of all the child controls' ids.
The second subsequence is a list of their corresponding control type codes.
It returns an empty subsequences if the id has no children.

sequence children
-- Get a list of all the controls owned by this window
children = getChildren(myWin)
-- Set the caption for each of the PushButtons.
for i = 1 to length(children) do
if find(children[2][i],{PushButton,DefPushButton}) then

This routine handles relative positions similar to the create() routine
Example:
-- where does {0.50, 10} in MyWindow appear on the screen?
sequence point
-- get the screen position
point = getClientPoint( MyWindow, 0.50, 10 )
-- display the size
wPrintf( MyWindow, "The point {0.50,10} maps to {%d, %d on the screen"}, point )

Unlike the menu, toolbar and statusbar both occupy space in the window. To determine what part of the window's client area is not covered, use this function. This function can be used even if there is no toobar or statusbar in the window.
For example, the generic demo has a MleText that needs to be resized every time the window is resized. It uses getClientRect to determine the metrics of the MleText.
-- color the unoccupied portion of the window red
sequence rect
-- find out what portion of the window is available
rect = getClientRect( TheWindow )
-- draw a filled rectangle
setPenColor( TheWindow, Red )
drawRectangle( TheWindow, w32True, rect[1], rect[2], rect[1]+rect[3], rect[2]+rect[4] )

ret Sequence: The contents of the user defined property.
pControl specifies the id of the control. This can be either a
single id, or a list of ids in a sequence.
pPropId specifies a
property defined by an early call to defineUserProperty.
The data isreturned as the first, and only, element in a sequence.
If an empty sequence is returned, it means that the specified
property has not been defined for this control.
If id is a sequence, then the returned sequence contains two
subsequences. The first is alist of the returned property values and
the second is a list of w32True/w32False values; one per control listed
in id. A w32True indicates that the respective control has this property
set and w32False indicates that it has not been set.
Examples:
sequence lValues
lValues = getUserProperty(fldX, "Animation")
if length(lValues) = 0 then
-- No value, so use a default.
lValues = {20}
end if
-- NB: The property value is always in element [1]!
doAnimation( lValues[1] )

-- Using a hWnd
makeFront( {hwnd_MsgWindow} )

ztype can be one of HWND_TOP, HWND_BOTTOM, HWND_TOPMOST or HWND_NOTOPMOST, or another control id.
Example:
-- change the order of this window.
moveZOrder( msgWindow, HWND_TOPMOST)
-- move id in front of id2

The id is either a control id, a two-element sequence containing {control id, focus id}.
-There is a difference between this and openWindow(..., Modal).
Here's some examples....
while length(filename) = 0 do
openWindow(myFileDialog, Modal)
end for
and
while length(filename) = 0 do
openDialog(myFileDialog)
end for
In the first snippet, this would start a very tight loop in which the user could not enter data. This is because the openWindow() would execute and not wait for the user to enter any data into the new window before executing the while test again. Whereas the openDialog() routine opens a modal window then waits for that window to close before executing the line after the openDialog() statement. During this time, any event handlers set up for the dialog window would still fire correctly.

window is either a control id, a two-element sequence containing {control id, focus id}, or the name of a Window control.
If window is a Window then the style flag is one of the following:
The openWindow function will trigger an w32HOpen event before it is opened
and a w32HActivate event after it is opened.
If the w32HOpen event calls returnValue(-1), the window is not opened.
It it possible to specify the control that will get the initial focus when the window opens. To do this, the window parameter must be specified in the form {window_id, focus_id}. If the focus_id is zero, then the first Edit type control is given focus. If there are no edit boxes, then the first button type control is given focus. If you don't specify the initial focus control, then the control that last had focus in the window is used.
Example:
-- Open the Login window, giving focus to the User ID field.
openWindow({formLogin txtUserId}, Normal)
-- Open the Messages window.
openWindow("Message List", Normal)
-- Open an input form
openWindow(vPromptCust,
{"Name","<unknown>"}
)

The coordinates x and y are relative to the parent window of the popup menu. If you are trapping the mouse position relative some other control, you will need to pass both the id of the popup menu and the reference control for the coordiniates passed. This is done by passing the first parameter as a 2-element sequence {popup, controlId}.
Example: Hard coded location relative to parent window.
-- create a popup for MyWindow constant MyPopup = create( Popup, "", MyWindow, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
-- add four items into it constant Item1 = create( MenuItem, "Item 1", MyPopup, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ), Item2 = create( MenuItem, "Item 2", MyPopup, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ), Item3 = create( MenuItem, "Item 3", MyPopup, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ), Item4 = create( MenuItem, "Item 4", MyPopup, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 )
-- popup the menu at {10,10} in MyWindow popup( MyPopup, 10, 10 )
Example: Location relative to some other control.
--------------------------------
procedure Mouse_TV(integer self, integer event, sequence parms)
--------------------------------
integer index
if parms[1] = WM_RBUTTONDOWN then
-- The coordinates are relative to self and
-- not the parent window.
popup({TVPopup, self}, parms[2], parms[3] )
end if
end procedure

Any control or Window can have any number of hotkeys registered.
id is the control/window id returned by create()
caption is either a single keycode, or a string containing a '&' character.
If using a keycode, you must use the keycode names in w32Keys.e. If using a string,
the uppercase version of the character following the '&' is used. Note that this
is happens automatically when you create() a control with some caption text. Also,
the default pushbutton, if any, is automatically registered with VK_RETURN.
Typical use of this procedure is when a control is created without a caption.
example:
-- Attached the '+' keys to the addBtn control.
registerHotKey( addBtn, VK_ADD)
registerHotKey( addBtn, VK_OEM_PLUS)

pControl specifies either a single control id or a list of control ids
pPropId specifies a property defined by an early call to defineUserProperty.
The property is reset to the initial value originally supplied
when defined with defineUserProperty.
Example:
-- Set the original values back to their initial value.
resetUserProperty({fldName,fldAddr, fldPhone}, "OrigValue")

The client area is the area used by the application. It excludes toolbar,
statusbar, menu area, etc...
After using this routine, the window will be larger than the dimensions
specified here. Use getRect() to retrive to total window area.
Example
--Set the client area to exactly 300 by 200 pixels
setClientRect(myWindow, 300, 200)

If either Width or Height has the value w32SameSize then the dimension is unchanged.
Example:
-- size Button1 to 60 pixels wide by 32 pixels high
setCtlSize( Button1, 60, 32 )
-- size Button2 to 60 pixels wide, leaving the height unchanged.
setCtlSize( Button2, 60, w32SameSize )
-- size Button3 to 25 pixels high, leaving the width unchanged.
setCtlSize( Button3, w32SameSize, 25 )

-- disable TheButton
setEnable( TheButton, w32False )
-- Disable lists one and two.

id is a control id.
If Flag is negative (eg. -1) then this routine just returns the current
policy value. If it is zero it sets the policy that the window's background
is automatically cleared to the default color whenever it needs erasing. If
it is positive (eg. 1) then the application must take responsibility of
erasing the background during a Paint event.
Example:
integer oldval
oldval = setErasePolicy( TickerWin, 1)

This will cause the window or control that currently has focus to lose it.
The window or control losing focus will get an onLostFocus event, and the window or control that is getting focus will get an onGotFocus event.
Controls that are not visible or not enabled, will never receive focus. If you try to, nothing will actually happen.

If the mouse stays still over a control that has tooltip text associated with it, a small window displaying the tooltip text will appear.
Any control that can get mouse events can have tooltips associated with it, although it tends to work best with PictureButtons, typically in the ToolBar.
Setting the text to "" effectively removes the tooltip.
Note: When setting tooltips for multipanelled StatusBar controls, you need to specify which panel the tip applies to. You do this by setting the control parameter as a sequence in the form {id, panel} where id is the StatusBar control and panel is the panel number.
It is possible to dynamically set the text of a tooltip so that each time the control needs to display a tip, it first calls a routine of your own that must supply the text to display. To do this, set the text parameter to the routine_id of your function. Your function will receive two parameters: ( id, width ) where id is the control that needs a tip, and width is the width of the tooltip box that will be used (in pixels). Your function must return a sequence. That sequence can simply be the tip text, or a 2-element sequence in the form { tiptext, newwidth }.
Example:
-- set hint for CloseButton
setHint( CloseButton, "Closes the window" )
function gettip( integer id, integer width)
sequence newtext
sequence AccountRecord
AccountRecord = getAccountFromName(getText(id))
if length(AccountRecord) > 0 then
newtext = sprintf("Account %d has a balance of %12.2f",
{AccountRecord[fAcctNo],
AccountRecord[fCurBal]})
else
newtext = "No account found for this name."
end if
return newtext
end function
setHint( txtAccountName, routine_id("gettip") )

Flag is either w32True to enable Win32Lib to automatically take care of moving controls around relative to the height of the ReBar control, or w32False to disable this facility.
The current value for this facility is returned. Initially this facility is disabled.

control is moved to x, y, and sized to cx, cy. If the repaint flag is set, the window is repainted.
To find the current size and position of control, use getRect.
Example:
-- move Button1 to 20x20
sequence size
-- get the current size
size = getCtlSize( Button1 )
-- change the size and repaint
setRect( Button1, 20, 20, size[1], size[2], w32True )

pID must refer to a status bar control.
pPartInfo is a list of panel size specifiers for each
subfield (a.k.a. panel) in the statusbar.
Each value in this list can be expressed in one of four
ways:
You can use setText() and getText() to write and read these panels.
Example:
-- This specifies 6 panels.
-- The first one's rightedge is at pixel 55.
-- The second is 100 pixels wide.
-- The third is 10% of the window width.
-- The 4th is 20 pixels wide.
-- The 5th is 10 pixels in from the window's RHS.
-- The last one extends to the window's edge.
setSubFields(SB, {55, {100}, 0.10, {20},-10,-1})

id is the Id of a control that contains other controls. Usually a Window,
Group, or TabItem.
The flds parameter specifies a list of control ids. The order of the ids
is the new order of tabbing. Any control that is not in this list is
ignored by the tabbing process.
Example:
sequence OldFlds
OldFlds = setTabStops(MainWin, {CustName, CustAddr, Telephone,
OKBtn, CancelBtn})

pControl specifies either a single control id or a list of control ids
PropId specifies a property defined by an early call to defineUserProperty
Data is any data you wish to store in that property.
Note: If the property named in PropId hasn't been defined yet for id, this routine will automatically define it, using Data as the default value for it.
Example:
-- Set the original values for these fields.
setUserProperty(fldName, "OrigValue", lRecord[cName])
setUserProperty(fldAddr, "OrigValue", lRecord[cAddr])
setUserProperty(fldPhone, "OrigValue", lRecord[cPhone])

id can also be a sequence of control ids. Example:
-- make TheButton invisible
setVisible( TheButton, w32False )
-- Hide lists one and two.
setVisible( {List1, List2}, w32False )
-- Show lists three and four.
setVisible( {List3, List4}, w32True )
Note: If object is a Window being made visible, it will trigger an onOpen event. However, if it is a Window being made invisible, it will not trigger any event. This should probably be corrected.

This is used to change the background color of a window or control.
id can be a single control id or a list of ids.
Color can either be an atom with a rgb value or a three-element sequence
formated as {red, green, blue} values (0-255).
You can also use getSysColor to get a default system color.
This will trigger an onPaint event.
Note, this will not effect push buttons.
Example:
-- Set the window background color to bright white
setWindowBackColor( MyWindow, BrightWhite )
-- Set a list's background color to salmon pink
setWindowBackColor( List1, {255, 128, 128} )
-- Set an edit field to look like a button color.
setWindowBackColor( Edit1, getSysColor(COLOR_BTNFACE) )
-- Set a group of controls
setWindowBackColor( {ctl1, ctl2, ctl3}, Cyan)

window is either a control id or the name of a Window control.
The style flag is one of the following:
Example:
showWindow(formErrors, SW_HIDE)
showWindow("Message List", SW_RESTORE)

ids is a sequence of ids to change
sizetype is one of, or a list of ...
pValue, if used, is the minimum size. It can be a pixel value or an id value in a sequence.
Example
sizeControls({fld1,fld3,fld4,fld7}, w32Widest, 200)
sizeControls({fld2,fld0,fld9,fld5}, w32Tallest, {lblXYZ} )
-- fld3 and fld2 to the same dimensions as btnOne
sizeControls({fld3,fld2}, {w32Height,w32Width}, {btnOne} )
