Coding in a Windowless Environment

In Microsoft FrontPage, it is possible to create a windowless environment to cut down on User Interface (UI) overhead, but there are some drawbacks to working in such an environment. For example, opening a page to fpPageViewNoWindow with the ViewMode property, creates a windowless environment where Window elements that require the UI won't work corretly. If you open a page without a window and try to access it using code such as PageWindow.Document.ParentWindow, the resulting code returns nothing instead of returning an FPHTMLWindow2 object. The following statements provide access to windowless pages.

Application.LocatePage(DocumentUrl As String, _
    ViewMode As FpPageViewMode) As PageWindow
Web.LocatePage(DocumentUrl As String, ViewMode As FPPageViewMode) _
    As PageWindow
File.Edit(ViewMode As FpPageViewMode) As PageWindow

The following table describes the PageWindow methods and properties and the objects or error messages they return. Some methods and properties of the PageWindow object are disabled in a windowless environment and will return the results shown in the following table.
