You can edit frame properties directly from the Properties panel on the WindowMaker canvas. The frame properties will populate in the Properties Grid upon creating the window:
The Industrial Graphic Toolbox and the Properties Grid appear to the right of the canvas by default. You can dock the Graphic Toolbox or the Properties Grid to the left side of the canvas. To restore WindowMaker to the default, select View, Restore Layout.
Note: Application window properties will not populate in the Properties Grid.
Frame windows support the same properties as application windows, with three additional properties. They are described below.
See Create application windows for a full description of each window property.
|
Frame Property |
Functionality |
|
MaximizeButton |
Enables the Maximize button in the upper right of the frame. Default is False. |
|
MinimizeButton |
Enables the Minimize button in the upper right of the frame. Default is False. |
|
WindowState |
Displays the initial state of the window: Normal, Minimized or Maximized. Default is Normal. |
Changes to the frame properties will immediately reflect in the frame, with the exception of the FrameStyle property. To configure this property, the SizeControl and TitleBar properties must first be set to False.
The FrameStyle dropdown menu will become enabled.
