Section titled “Parameters”
Parameter Meaning

Description

Section titled “Description”
  • Controls created after it go into it, until another menu Form or menu Panel, menu SetDef parent, menu PopDef or menu Clear. menu SetDef parent form0 goes back to the main window.
  • Closing it with its × hides it and puts its name in #MenuButton. The main window’s × gives CLOSED instead.
  • It has the main window’s frame: a fixed size, no maximize button, always on top, its own taskbar button.
  • menu Delete {name} removes it with everything in it.
  • With menu GetProp and menu SetProp: left, top, width, height (the inside), text (the title), visible, color, enabled, tooltip.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • Use a name only once. When the name is taken, EasyUO 1.6 still creates the window, hidden and unreachable, and the controls created next go into it. A sub that builds a pop-up with menu Form each time it runs shows it only the first time: delete it first, or create it once.
  • Starting the script again destroys every window it made.
