Syntax

Return Value	Method
String	getWindowMode()

Parameters

None.

Return Value

The return value is one of the following strings:

String	Description
MDI	The BBjTopLevelWindow is an MDI child window confined to the user area of an MDI master. The child will be terminated when the MDI master is closed.
SDI	The BBjTopLevelWindow is attached to an MDI master, but it's not confined to the MDI master's user area. The window will be terminated when its MDI master is closed.
DETACHED	This BBjTopLevelWindow is not attached to an MDI window.
