Parameters

ParameterTypeDescription
nameTextName of the preference item
leftPointerLeft coordinate
topPointerTop coordinate
rightPointerRight coordinate
bottomPointerBottom coordinate Use this method to retrieve the coordinates (left, top, right, and bottom) of a window position that has been stored with Foundation’s Fnd_Pref_SetWindow method. Pass pointers to four variables, and this routine will modify the values of the variables. If the window position has not been previously saved, the variables will be left untouched, so you can set them to default values before calling this method. For example: vLeft:=10 ` Set the default position first. vTop:=40 vRight:=510 vBottom:=340 Fnd_Pref_GetWindow ("My Window";->vLeft;->vTop;->vRight;->vBottom) $winRef:=Open window(vLeft;vTop;vRight;vBottom;Movable dialog box ) Fnd_Pref_SetWindow ("My Window";->vLeft;->vTop;->vRight;->vBottom)

Description

Window coordinates are always stored locally. There is no option to store this information as a server or shared preference.
