}
Object subclass providing a platform-dependent window containing IFC components. Like InternalWindow, it implements the Window interface. The following code demonstrates the normal sequence for creating an ExternalWindow:
    window = new ExternalWindow();
    windowSize = window.windowSizeForContentSize(contentWidth, contentHeight);
    window.sizeTo(windowSize.width, windowSize.height);
    window.moveTo(x, y);
    window.show();

Constructors

ExternalWindow

  public ExternalWindow()
Constructs an ExternalWindow with a style of Window.TITLE_TYPE.

ExternalWindow

  public ExternalWindow(int windowType)
Constructs an ExternalWindow of type windowType. Creates the platform-dependent (native) window that will hold the ExternalWindow's contents, as well as the window's RootView and AWT Panel. The ExternalWindow does not appear onscreen until it receives a show() message.

Methods

setTitle

  public void setTitle(String aTitle)
Sets the ExternalWindow's title (the string displayed in its title bar).

title

  public String title()
Returns the ExternalWindow's title.
See Also:
setTitle

show

  public void show()
Displays the ExternalWindow.
See Also:
hide

showModally

  public void showModally()
Displays the ExternalWindow until dismissed by the user. This method will not return until the user closes the Window.

hide

  public void hide()
Hides the ExternalWindow.
See Also:
show

isVisible

  public boolean isVisible()
Returns true if the ExternalWindow is currently visible (is onscreen).

dispose

  public void dispose()
Closes the ExternalWindow and destroys the native window.

setMenu

  public void setMenu(Menu aMenu)
Sets the ExternalWindow's Menu.
See Also:
Menu

menu

  public Menu menu()
Returns the ExternalWindow's Menu.
See Also:
setMenu

rootView

  public RootView rootView()
Returns the RootView that occupies the ExternalWindow.

setOwner

  public void setOwner(WindowOwner wOwner)
Sets the ExternalWindow's owner, the object interested in learning about special events such as the user closing the ExternalWindow.

owner

  public WindowOwner owner()
Returns the ExternalWindow's owner.
See Also:
setOwner

contentSize

  public Size contentSize()
Returns the Size defining the ExternalWindow's content area. Use this Size to properly position and size any View that you plan to add to the ExternalWindow.

addSubview

  public void addSubview(View aView)
Adds aView to the ExternalWindow.

setBounds

  public void setBounds(int x,
                        int y,
                        int width,
                        int height)
Sets the Window's bounds to the rectangle (x, y, width, height). This is the primitive method for resizing or moving. All the other related methods ultimately call this one.

setBounds

  public void setBounds(Rect newBounds)
Sets the ExternalWindow's bounds to newBounds.

sizeTo

  public void sizeTo(int width,
                     int height)
Sets the ExternalWindow's size to (width, height).

sizeBy

  public void sizeBy(int deltaWidth,
                     int deltaHeight)
Changes the ExternalWindow's size by deltaWidth and deltaHeight.

moveBy

  public void moveBy(int deltaX,
                     int deltaY)
Changes the ExternalWindow's location by deltaX and deltaY.

center

  public void center()
Centers the ExternalWindow (as well as possible for a native window).

moveTo

  public void moveTo(int x,
                     int y)
Sets the ExternalWindow's origin to (x, y).

windowSizeForContentSize

  public Size windowSizeForContentSize(int width,
                                       int height)
Returns the size the ExternalWindow must be to support a content size of (width, height).

viewForMouse

  public View viewForMouse(int x,
                           int y)
Returns the View containing the point (x, y).

setMinSize

  public void setMinSize(int width,
                         int height)
Sets a minimum size for the ExternalWindow.

Note: The AWT does not appear to support this feature.

minSize

  public Size minSize()
Returns the ExternalWindow's minimum size, if set. Otherwise, returns null.

bounds

  public Rect bounds()
Returns a newly-allocated copy of the ExternalWindow's bounding rectangle, which defines the ExternalWindow's size and position.

setResizable

  public void setResizable(boolean flag)
Sets whether the ExternalWindow can be resized by the user. Throws an error if called when the ExternalWindow is visible.

isResizable

  public boolean isResizable()
Returns true if the user can resize the ExternalWindow.
See Also:
setResizable

panel

  public FoundationPanel panel()
Returns the FoundationPanel the ExternalWindow uses to display its RootView.

createDialog

  protected FoundationDialog createDialog()
Creates and returns the ExternalWindow's FoundationDialog. This method will be called if the ExternalWindow has a title bar and is being displayed modally. ExternalWindow subclasses can override this method to provide a custom FoundationDialog subclass.
See Also:
FoundationFrame

createFrame

  protected FoundationFrame createFrame()
Creates and returns the ExternalWindow's FoundationFrame. This method will be called if the ExternalWindow has a title bar. ExternalWindow subclasses can override this method to provide a custom FoundationFrame subclass.
See Also:
FoundationFrame

createPanel

  protected FoundationPanel createPanel()
Creates and returns the ExternalWindow's FoundationPanel. ExternalWindow subclasses can override this method to provide a custom FoundationPanel subclass.
See Also:
FoundationPanel

applicationDidStart

  public void applicationDidStart(Application application)
ApplicationObserver method.

applicationDidStop

  public void applicationDidStop(Application application)
ApplicationObserver method.

applicationDidPause

  public void applicationDidPause(Application application)
ApplicationObserver method. If hidesWhenPaused() is true and the ExternalWindow is visible, hides the ExternalWindow.
See Also:
setHidesWhenPaused, applicationDidResume

applicationDidResume

  public void applicationDidResume(Application application)
ApplicationObserver method. If hidesWhenPaused() is true and the ExternalWindow was visible when the Application paused, makes the ExternalWindow visible.
See Also:
setHidesWhenPaused, applicationDidPause

setHidesWhenPaused

  public void setHidesWhenPaused(boolean flag)
Sets whether the ExternalWindow hides when the Application pauses. If flag is true, the ExternalWindow's applicationDidPause() method hides the Window if the Window is visible. The applicationDidResume() brings the Window back onscreen.
See Also:
applicationDidPause, applicationDidResume

hidesWhenPaused

  public boolean hidesWhenPaused()
Returns true if the ExternalWindow hides when the Application pauses.
See Also:
setHidesWhenPaused

performCommand

  public void performCommand(String command,
                             Object data)
Implements the ExternalWindow's commands:
