Get Context - SENDMSG() Function 20

Syntax

CONTEXT$=SENDMSG(sysgui,id,20,0,$$)

Description

This version of the SENDMSG() function returns a two-byte string, which, when used with DEC(), results in the context value of the id-specified child window (or if 0 is used, the current window). Set the int parameter to 0 to specify the child window or specify the ID of the current window.

Parameter

Description

sysgui

Valid SYSGUI channel.

id

Child window ID, or if 0 is used, the current window.

20

SENDMSG function number.

0

Always 0.

$$

Always null.

Example

The following returns the context for the child window that has an ID of 10:

SENDMSG(sygui,10,20,0,$$)

Use DEC(CONTEXT$) for the window's numeric context value. If the id parameter specifies an ID that does not pertain to a child window or 0 for a top-level window, an !ERROR=17 is generated.
