Employement/Purpose

A window is, like HTML DIV tag, used to group components. Unlike other components, a window has the following characteristics.

• A window is an owner of an ID space. Any component contained in a window, including itself, could be found by use of the getFellow method, if it is assigned with an identifier.
• A window could be overlapped, popup, and embedded.
• A window could be a modal dialog.

Example

<hbox>
	<window title="Embedded Style" border="normal" width="200px"> Hello,
		Embedded! </window>
	<window title="Cyan Style" sclass="wndcyan" border="normal"
		width="200px"> Hello, Cyan! </window>
	<window title="Popup Style" sclass="popup" border="normal"
		width="200px"> Hello, Popup! </window>
	<window title="Modal Style" sclass="modal" border="normal"
		width="200px"> Hello, Modal! </window>
</hbox>

Supported events

Name	Event Type
onMove	Event: Event Denotes the close button is pressed by a user, and the component shall detach itself.
onOpen	Event: OpenEvent Denotes user has opened or closed a component. Note: Unlike onClose, this event is only a notification. The client sends this event after opening or closing the component. It is useful to implement load-on-demand by listening to the onOpen event, and creating components when the first time the component is opened.
onClose	Event: Event Denotes the close button is pressed by a user, and the component shall detach itself.
onOK	Event:KeyEvent Denotes user has pressed the ENTER key.
onCancel	Event:KeyEvent Denotes user has pressed the ESC key.
onCtrlKey	Event: KeyEvent Denotes user has pressed a special key, such as PgUp, Home and a key combined with the Ctrl or Alt key. Refer to the ctrlKeys Property section below for details.
