Syntax

int wb_create_window (int parent, int wclass [, string caption [, int xpos [, int ypos [, int width [, int height [, int style [, int param]]]]]]])

or

int wb_create_window (int parent, int wclass [, string caption [, int width [, int height]]])

• wclass must be one of the available <winterpostwiki>Window classes</winterpostwiki>. Windows created with this function must be destroyed with a call to wb_destroy_window().
• style accepts optional style flags.
• To enable additional messages in a particular window, include the WBC_NOTIFY style in the style parameter and use param to indicate which additional notification messages you want to process.

Example

$mainwin = wb_create_window(NULL, AppWindow, "WinBinder", WBC_CENTER, WBC_CENTER, 640, 480, WBC_INVISIBLE | WBC_NOTIFY, WBC_DBLCLICK | WBC_GETFOCUS);

// Additional code here

/* Main window processing */
function process_main($window, $id, $ctrl=0, $param=0)
{
    global $statusbar;

    if($param == WBC_GETFOCUS) {
        wb_set_text($statusbar, "Control $id received the focus.");
        return;    // This is necessary to avoid unexpected behavior
    }
    switch($id) {
        case ID_ITEMLIST:
            if($param == WBC_DBLCLICK)
                process_main($window, ID_EDITITEM, 0);
            else
                update_controls($window);
            break;
        // Additional processing here
    }
}

Example 2: Minimizing a window to the TaskBar status area

To create a window that minimizes itself as an icon in the TaskBar status area, include the WBC_TASKBAR style flag in the style parameter. All operations will be handled automatically.

$mainwin = wb_create_window(NULL, 100, "Collapsible window", WBC_CENTER, WBC_CENTER, 320, 240, WBC_INVISIBLE | WBC_TASKBAR);
// Create window controls
wb_set_visible($mainwin, true);    // Make window visible
