Category Windows and views, Object ProBarewindow

Function ProBarewindowMdlnameCreate


Description
Retrieves a window and attaches the object to it. If the window is already open with the object attached, the function returns the window identifier. If there is an empty window up, the function attaches the object to it. Otherwise, the function creates a new window and attaches the object to it. The window created doesn't have any toolbars or menus. It can be minimized or closed and it has all the regular mouse-driven view capabilites like zoom, rotation and panning.

NOTE:

This function should be used on model present in the session. Note: In Creo 3 this function does not support names longer than 80 characters. It will return PRO_TK_BAD_INPUTS for longer names. The support for ProMdlName will be added in a future release.

Replacement in Object TOOLKIT: wfcWSession::CreateBarewindow
