The Internal Window control
Overview of the "Internal window" control Window control The "Internal Window" control is used to include a window (and its code) in a control of another window. At runtime, the internal window will be dynamically merged with the host window. The "Internal Window" control is used to dynamically share the same interface section between one or more applications. The window to merge (internal window) can also come from a component. Warning: Do not confuse "Internal Window Field" and "Internal Window": the "Internal Window" field is a type of field and the "Internal Window" is a type of window..
Creating an internal window and associating it with a control Creating an internal window To create an internal window: - Click
 in the quick access buttons. - When the new element window appears, click "Window" then "Window". The window creation wizard starts automatically.
- Click the "Internal window" tab and select "Blank" (select the associated skin template if necessary). Validate to create the window.
An internal window corresponds to a specific type of window. The internal window doesn't have any borders, title bar, status bar, or background image. It is intended to be displayed in an Internal window control inside a host window. Remarks: - In the "UI" tab of the description window, you can specify whether the internal window should use the skin template of the host window. To do so, simply check the option "Apply the skin template of the host window".
- A blank internal window can also be created as follows:
- Click in the quick access buttons.
- In the window that appears, click "Window", then "Internal window".

For all the other characteristics, the internal window will be automatically linked to the template.
- Validate.
Note: By default, the size characteristics of the internal window are automatically overridden.. Displaying the preview of the internal windows at 100% By default, the internal windows displayed in the "Internal Window" controls are minimized in the editor.

Sample components (WINDEV): WD Explorer Bar
[ + ] The WD Explorer Bar component is used to manage an address bar similar to the address bar of the explorer found in Windows Vista. This address bar (also called 'Explorer Breadcrumb') is used to easily navigate in a treeview. You have the ability to add elements by programming, like a TreeView control. You also have the ability to fill the address bar via a TreeView control, and even from one or more HFSQL data files. The navigation in the bar is automatically managed by the component via an internal window. You also have the ability to branch the call to a WLanguage user procedure when an element is clicked.
