|
| Action |

|

True.
|
| Examples |
With the examples window closed, type and execute: window.open (@examples) » true

|
| Notes |
Opening an open window has no effect and returns true. This is one of the few window verbs that requires the address of an object rather than a title. That's because there is by definition no window open with a title when this verb is needed. The difference between window.open and edit is that this verb does not explicitly establish addr as the target for subsequent content-editing verbs. We recommend you use edit to open a window for editing and window.open to open a window when other verbs that are not content-changing are to be used on it. The flReadOnly parameter was added in Frontier 7.
