New window without the blue banner at the top

[mattlight]

Does anyone know how to create a new window that doesn't have the blue banner at the top (Window Title Bar) and scroll bars at the side. It is so that I can create a database transport Nav tool with purely icons on it. I want it to be as small as poss without all the edges. I would like it to look abit like the size toolbox.

I'm using FM& and have seen this type of window created on FM6 when I looked at a demonstration database. I know it's possible.

Also, How do you get Filemaker to check if a certain window (by window name) is open before either selecting it or creating a new one? For a script step.

If window [invoices] is open, select window [invoices], create new window "Invoices"

that kind of thing

Please help - it's been buggin me for ages.

Kind REgards and thanks

AFAIK you can't create a new window without the title bar. You can run your whole solution in Kiosk mode but I don't think the kiosk properties apply to new windows (haven't tried though).

There are plugins that can display a modal window but I'm not sure they would fit your needs if you want a permanently floating window.

To get a list of all open windows, use the WindowNames function.
