Frontmost process 


 

Frontmost process {( * )} -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
Operator in Process number for first non-floating window
Function result  Integer in Number of the process whose windows are in the front

Frontmost process returns the number of the process whose window (or windows) are in the front.

When you have one or more floating windows open, there are two window layers:

  • Regular windows
  • Floating windows

If the Frontmost process function is used from within a floating window form method or object method, the function returns the process reference number of the frontmost floating window in the floating window layer. If you specify the optional * parameter, the function returns the process reference number of the frontmost active window in the regular window layer.

Example  

See the example for BRING TO FRONT.
