I know how to open a window, but what do you mean a different dimension? Like size?

Window.Open()

If you need an explanation just ask.

-----------------------------------

Use Window.Open().  
ex:

var winID := Window.Open ("text")

Check the help file for it.
Hopefully, Flikerator will post a brand new, shiny tutorial on the topic soon.  :D

EDIT: heh.  :?

i want a new window to open but like make it a diff. dimension than the original window.. and like how would i put it into my prog.. i hav:

(procedure)
....
....
....
end (procedure)

if ch :=('7') then
(procedure)
end if


Also, is there a way of actually not opening a new window, but when the user presses '7' then the window size will change, instead of opening a new window?

Just posting so you know I didn't abandoned you, I will edit this with the answer.

Alright now since you have it in a procedure I will make one so it will be similar. Then loop it to show that it when you hit '7' it will change position. Its as easy as using View.Set()


var ch : array char of boolean

View.Set ("position:center,bottom")

procedure windowchange
    View.Set ("position:center,top")
end windowchange

loop
    Input.KeyDown (ch)
    if ch ('7') then
        windowchange
    end if
end loop


Now to change size it is very similar, like this;


var ch : array char of boolean

[b]View.Set ("graphics:400,400")[/b]

procedure windowchange
[b]    View.Set ("graphics:1280,720")[/b]
end windowchange

loop
    Input.KeyDown (ch)
    if ch ('7') then
        windowchange
    end if
end loop


I bolded the differences. If you need something else, it doesnt work, or such just say so and Ill help out.

EDIT AGAIN
Okay the bold didnt work but I will leave it in there anyway..lolz sry bout that  :lol:
