The Window Options dialog is displayed by clicking on the Options... push button in the Edit Window dialog. This dialog presents additional attributes of the window. The dialog consists of two sections: Callback Events and Minimize Icon.
This section presents the event types to which the window can be made to respond. Refer to Windows and Callback Events for more detailed information about windows and callback events.
| Got Focus | This field determines if the window responds to a "got focus" event. This type of event occurs when the application end-user switches the input focus from one window to another. The window gaining the input focus can trigger the event. |
| Lost Focus | This field determines if the window responds to a "lost focus" event. This type of event occurs when the application end-user switches the input focus from one window to another. The window losing the focus can trigger the event. |
| Closed | This field determines if the window responds to a "Close" event. This type of event occurs when the application end-user selects the Close item from the window's system menu. |
This section provides for the selection of the icon to be displayed when the window is minimized.
| Icon File Name | This field contains the full path name of the file which contains the icon to be displayed when the window is minimized (if the window can be minimized - see the Minimize Button field in the Edit Window dialog). Refer to File Path Prefix Characters for information about the file path prefix characters available within the painter and within Zim itself. |
| Select | This push button invokes the Windows "File/Select" common dialog with the caption Select Minimize Icon Image File, and places the contents of Icon File Name in the File Name field. If Icon File Name is prefixed by one of the special file path prefix characters, then the directory list is positioned within the appropriate directory. Otherwise, the directory list is positioned within the directory specified by the full path name of Icon File Name. If the file selected from this dialog is located in one of the special directories, its directory path name is replaced by one of the file path prefix characters. Otherwise, the full path name of the file is preserved. |
| Close | This push button performs any required data validation, records (but does not commit) any changes which were made in this dialog, and returns to the Edit Window dialog. |
| Cancel | This push button discards any changes that were made in this dialog and returns to the Edit Window dialog. |
| Help | This push button invokes the Zim Help facility, initially displaying the section entitled Window Options dialog (this section). |
