Getting the name of the active window

[mike chamanara]

Hello,

I am trying to include the name of the active window in the Help/About menu
option. This way when users are running the application they could refer to
Help/About and tell me exactly what the name of the window is and report that in
their problem report?

Thanks in advance

Wouldn't the name of the window be in the titlebar of the active
window? And wouldn't the active window become the Help->About window
once you opened it?

Yes,you are correct and I wasn't thinking correctly, Well I guess I
need to place the name of the active window on my macro help.

I think he means before the about window becomes active/open.

Mike,

In the menu option for openingout window, you will need to getthe name of the
active sheet. In the script before you open the about window, have your MDI
window do a GetActiveSheet. Then get the window name and pass it to the about
window.

mdiframewindow.GetActiveSheet()

Look in help for more on this function.

I hope this helps.

You haven't received a response because you posted through Google,
which means the message never made it to the Sybase server. You
should repost your question using a standard newsgroup reader or the
web based newsreaders at my.sybase.com or www.pfcguide.com. Google is
great for searching the Sybase newsgroups, but you can't post to them
from there.
