Treat windows or at least window identities as [[wp:First-class_object|first class objects]].

 

The window of interest may or may not have been created by your program.

 

=={{header|AutoHotkey}}==

WinGetTitle, window, A ; get identity of active window into a variable

WinMove, %window%, , 100, 100, 800, 800 ; move window to coordinates, 100, 100

}

WinClose, % window

PRINT "Closing the window in two seconds..."

=={{header|HicEst}}==

REAL :: w=-333, h=25, x=1, y=0.5 ! pixels < 0, relative window size 0...1, script character size > 1

 

WINDOW(WIN=wh, MAXimize) ! maximize (hides the script window)

WINDOW(Kill=wh) ! close

The demo program opens three windows, one with a running commentary on the action.

 

procedure main()

 

W1 := open("Window 1","g","resize=on","size=400,400","pos=100,100","bg=black","fg=red") |

W2 := open("Window 2","g","resize=on","size=400,400","pos=450,450","bg=blue","fg=yellow") |

W3 := open("Window 3","g","resize=on","size=400,400","pos=600,150","bg=orange","fg=black") |

WWrite(W3,"Opened three windows")

delay(Delay)

WAttrib(W2,"posx=700","posy=300")

WWrite(W3,"Enter Q or q here to quit")

WDone(W3)

=={{header|Java}}==

Java cannot (easily) manipulate windows created by other programs. This code manipulates windows that it has created, but any window created in the same JVM can be controlled similarly. This example uses Swing - for AWT or SWT go figure.

import java.awt.EventQueue;

import java.awt.Frame;

// Create UI on correct thread

public static void main( final String[] args ) {

}

 

 

// Button class to call the right method

getRootPane().setBorder( new EmptyBorder( 3, 3, 3, 3 ) );

add( new JLabel( "Add windows and control them." ), BorderLayout.NORTH );

add( main, BorderLayout.CENTER );

controls.setLayout( new GridLayout( 0, 1, 3, 3 ) );

public void doShow() {

public void doMaximise() {

public void doMove() {

}

 

public void doResize() {

final JFrame window = ( JFrame ) list.getSelectedItem();

 

}

}

 

 

nb===nb2 (*test for equality with another window object*)

SetOptions[nb,Visible->False](*Hide*)

NotebookClose[nb] (*Close*)

SetOptions[nb,WindowMargins->{{x,Automatic},{y,Automatic}}](*Move to x,y screen position*)

=={{header|Oz}}==

because it shows how to extend an object's interface even when we don't have control over object creation.

=={{header|Perl}}==

I wrote the code using the Tk module, as that's what I had on my computer, and I was too lazy to install Tkx. Translating from perl/tk to Tkx should be fairly trivial.

 

use strict;

use warnings;

 

__END__

 

In the Tcl code I translated from, the second label of the main window had a textvariable attribute. For some reason, this didn't work correctly for me, either due to a bug in Tk.pm, or some other reason. Because of that, I kept around a handle to that second label ($lab), and called configure on it when I needed it's text to change.

 

Doubtless some more modern Tk binding (such as Tkx, or perhaps Tcl::Tk) would handle that better.

The following works on ErsatzLisp, the Java version of PicoLisp.

Using the tkinter GUI:

mainloop()

 

=={{header|Racket}}==

#lang racket/gui

 

(say 'Resize) (send frame resize 100 100) (sleep 1)

(say 'Close) (send frame show #f) (sleep 1) ; that's how we close a window
