Forums Scripts & Popups $window().dw

Hi,

I found out for myself that if you use $window().dw to return the value of an inactive window, it returns a false answer. I searched through the forum and found out that this is normal (from Khaled's explanation). ie. because only the top window is maximised, mdi makes the other windows smaller etc.

So i was wondering what other alternatives can i use to return the width in pixels of the text display area of an inactive window correctly how it was left.

Any suggestions welcome. thx

store the values in a hash table when the windows are activated:

on *:active:*:{ hadd -m windows $active $window($active).dw }

$hget(windows,windowname)
