The meaning behind window_spec
Nicholas G Lawrence
Hello all,
I am writing a mapbasic script to interrogate a workspace file.
I wanted to check if an assumption I am making is correct.
For the WindowInfo() function, window_spec is a number that specifies which window I want to query
Window_spec can be a positive integer value (1,2,…n) where n is the number of open document windows returned by NumWindows()
My assumption is; that when a workspace is opened, that the window_spec of each open document window is determined by the order that the windows are created in the Workspace file.
That is the workspace file contains the commands;
Map From
Browse
Layout
and as each command is executed in order each window is assigned the corresponding window_spec
Of course, my starting point is no open tables and no open document windows when I open the workspace
Is my assumption correct?

Your assumption seem correct, Nick.
Think of it as an array of windows where you can access the specific window using it’s index.
Also keep in mind that the numbers may shift if you close a window “in the middle”.
Personally, I have always used WindowID() to get from an index to the actual WindowID
But that’s just as much because I never realized you could use the index directly in the WindowInfo() function
Until now 😊
