Results

The result type is LOGICAL(4). The result is .TRUE. if successful; otherwise, .FALSE. (for example, if there is no active child window).

GETWINDOWCONFIG returns information about the active child window. If you have not set the window properties with SETWINDOWCONFIG, GETWINDOWCONFIG returns default window values.

A typical set of values would be 1024 x pixels, 768 y pixels, 128 text columns, 48 text rows, and a font size of 8x16 pixels. The resolution of the display and the assumed font size of 8x16 pixels generates the number of text rows and text columns. The resolution (in this case, 1024 x pixels by 768 y pixels) is the size of the virtual window. To get the size of the physical window visible on the screen, use GETWSIZEQQ. In this case, GETWSIZEQQ returned the following values: (0,0) for the x and y position of the physical window, 25 for the height or number of rows, and 71 for the width or number of columns.

The number of colors returned depends on the video drive. The window title defaults to "Graphic1" for the default window. All of these values can be changed with SETWINDOWCONFIG.

Note that the bitsperpixel field in the windowconfig derived type is an output field only, while the other fields return output values to GETWINDOWCONFIG and accept input values from SETWINDOWCONFIG.

    IF(wc%numtextrows .NE. 10) THEN
       WRITE(*,*) 'Error: Cannot increase text rows to 10'
