PreviousWin (Function)

In french: FenPrécédente

Identifies the window that was in edit before the window that is currently in edit (for the same project). This function is used in the case of multi-windowing.

Reminder: The current window is the window that has focus: this window is in edit and its title bar is active.

You also have the ability to use PreviousPage.

Versions 16 and later

This function is now available for WINDEV applications in Linux.

New in version 16

This function is now available for WINDEV applications in Linux.

Example

// Name of the previous window
ResPreviousWin = PreviousWin()

Syntax

<Result> = PreviousWin()

<Result>: Character string

Name of the window that was previously in edit,
Alias of the window that was previously in edit (if this alias was specified when the window was opened).
Empty string ("") if no previous window is found or if the window previously in edit was closed before the call to PreviousWin.

Remarks

Uppercase/Lowercase characters

The window name can be written in uppercase or lowercase characters. We recommend that you use the "~=" operator (flexible equality) to compare the window name returned by PreviousWin to a hard-coded window name.

For example:

IF PreviousWin() ~= "EditWindow" THEN
...
END
