In the logic guide, the "system variable" @CLIENTINFO is referred to as a means
of finding the client's window handle.

I can't find this variable anywhere. Has anyone used this and can provide some
help?

Hi,

Not sure where you want to find it...

Its a system variable, you just reference it..

Like...

UMSG(@CLIENTINFO,-1)

This outputs..

HWND=10356700

As a string, so you can then parse the string and convert the numeric part to a numeric var...

Hmm, I only tried this from within VIP and it gives:
Unidentified Variable or Keyword: @CLIENTINFO

Is it a version thing?

No, I found out... Developer Studio and VIP gives an error with
an unidentified variable, but it still gens and works.

A slip on Pro-IV's part, I guess.

Hi,

We have used this and it seems to work fine. We wrote a non-PRO-IV menu and when it was minimised then also mnimised the PRO-IV screen.

hmmm... looks like it was a slip as it works ok on ours too Sindre... maybe you have an older version of VIP?
According to the release contents in the help file it was unrecognised, but this was fixed in v5.5910.
If you have access to the partner downloads area then the current version you can get is v5.5911 - it's listed under 'general' platform...
(readme.htm says it requires minimum Kernel 5.5r301)

[Sindre Solem]

It seems so. I have only 5.5908. Thank you.

FYI, we don't (currently) use VIP, so it's not necessary to be able to get this handle.
