Retrieving the first window in a program (sys.FirstWindow)

sys.FirstWindow,,p

First window in a program

Version >= 5.8.9

A pointer to the first window in a program. Since Sculptor’s pre-defined windows are created before windows defined in the program, the first window is always one of these pre-defined windows. The programmer should not rely on it being any particular window.

The value of sys.FirstWindow can be assigned to another pointer field, as in the example below.

EXAMPLE
