Is there a way, using Start_Window, to force a window to be visible or not, regardless of how it was compiled/saved? The parameters related to the Start_Window command do not seem to cater for this.

All I want to do is to open a window in Invisible mode, and subsequently making it visible (after resetting size parameters) by setting SIZE=1.

I would like to avoid the appearance of a window opening and then being shifted on screen. Any ideas?

David,

Start_Window in and of itself does not provide a way for you to accomplish what you want. However, if your window is invisible at design time and you use the SIZE property to resize/relocate the window, you won't see the window shift around. Are you per chance using the VISIBLE property first and then the SIZE property? If so, just use the SIZE property as it will make your window visible at the same time.

If for some reason you need the ability to resize your window without making it visible (we have had a few situations where this was a requirement) then drop me a line. We wrote a utility that will do this.

You could call start window and return the structure, modify the structure, then call utility( 'CREATE'…).
