Hello,

Any version of PB.  Currently developing in PB 2022 R3 build 3356

I want to open two instances of a window, side-by-side, so that I can view two different data in the same page(?).   We maintain history of data (insert, delete, update) in a separate table.  Sometimes, we need to inspect what was there in earlier version of the same data.   To facilitate I thought of opening two windows side by side, with the same set of datawindows, by passing two different retrieval arguments.    Is this possible?

Or is there any smarter way to achieve this?

Yes, of course it is possible.

To open two instances of same window you have to use the Open functions without using the window class name as first parameter. Use a variable instead.

e.g.

w_mywindow lw_first, lw_second
openwithParm (lw_first, "first")
openwithparm (lw_second, "second")

You can use the move function to specify the position of the windows. e.g.

lw_first.Move (0, 0)
lw_second.Move (lw_first.width, 0)

 

HTH, 

Renè
