Window

window

Creates a top-level window, or edits/queries values from an existing window.

If window-name is omitted the default-parent is used or a name is created automatically. After execution the new window is the default-parent and the default-layout is empty. If window already exists its top-level layout becomes the new default-layout.

Lua Syntax:

window( [windowName], {flags=1, 
    title = title, 
    edit = true|false, 
    exists = true|false, 
    query = true|false})
