New features in FM 8.5?

[Kent Searight]

Hi all,

The following was done on a Mac with FM 8.5 with file running locally.

I have a layout with 2 unstored calulation fields on it. One uses the function Get ( WindowWidth ) and the other uses the function Get ( WindowHeight ). While resizing the window manually by grabbing the lower right corner with the mouse, I was surprised to see the calcs updating "live", i.e the numbers updated as I dragged the corner. I've never noticed this behavior before and I don't think it's possible in < FM8.5.

Does anybody know what's different in FM 8.5 that allows this to happen? Has anyone noticed similar behaviors with other calc functions?

Thanks in advance!

PS I can't get this to happen in Windows XP

Quite so...it does.

Peculiarly the Get(TopWindow) (et al) does not behave the same way.
