RESTORE WINDOW Command

Restores to memory window definitions and window statuses saved to a window file or memo field.

RESTORE WINDOW WindowNameList | ALL FROM FileName
 | FROM MEMO MemoFieldName

Parameters

  • WindowNameList
    Specifies one or more windows to be restored. Separate the window names with commas.
  • ALL
    Restores all window definitions in the window file or memo field.
  • FROM FileName
    Specifies the window file from which windows are restored. A window file has a .win extension. If the file was given another extension when it was saved, you must include this extension in FileName.
  • FROM MEMO MemoFieldName
    Specifies the memo field from which the windows are restored.

Remarks

Use SAVE WINDOW to store window definitions in a window file or in a memo field.

Any windows in memory with the same names as those restored are overwritten. A window's status (hidden, active, and so on) when it is saved is preserved when it is restored.

Example

In the following example, a window named wOutput1 is defined and saved to a variable. All windows are cleared and the window named wOutput1 is restored and activated.

CLEAR
DEFINE WINDOW wOutput1 FROM 2,1 TO 13,75 TITLE 'Output' ;

CLEAR WINDOWS
RESTORE WINDOW wOutput1 FROM temp
