WP SET FRAME


WP SET FRAME ( {* ;} wpArea ; frameSelector )

Parameter	Type	Description
*	Operator	If specified, wpArea is a form object name (string). If omitted, wpArea is an object field or variable.
wpArea	String	Form object name (if * is specified) or 4D Write Pro object variable or field (if * is omitted)
frameSelector	Longint	Frame where the cursor should be set

Description

The WP SET FRAME command sets the cursor into the frame designated by frameSelector in the 4D Write Pro wpArea area.

If you pass the optional * parameter, you indicate that wpArea is a form object name (string). If you do not pass this parameter, you indicate that wpArea is a 4D Write Pro object variable or field.

Note: This command can only be used if the wpArea is associated with a form object (i.e. it is displayed in the current form/page).

You can pass in frameSelector one of the following constants from the 4D Write Pro Constants theme:

Constant	Type	Value	Comment
wk body	Longint	0	Body frame of the section
wk current page footer	Longint	2
wk current page header	Longint	1
wk current section default footer	Longint	10	Default footer of the section (available only if there is no active subsection footer)
wk current section default header	Longint	9	Default header of the section (available only if there is no active subsection header)
wk current section first footer	Longint	4	Footer of the first page of the section
wk current section first header	Longint	3	Header of the first page of the section
wk current section left footer	Longint	6	Footer of the left page(s) of the section
wk current section left header	Longint	5	Header of the left page(s) of the section
wk current section right footer	Longint	8	Footer of the right page(s) of the section
wk current section right header	Longint	7	Header of the right page(s) of the section

If wk current page header or wk current page footer is passed in frameSelector, WP SET FRAME will give focus to the first selected page header or footer, no matter the sub-section type (if it does not contain any header or footer, the command will do nothing).
If any of the wk current section[...] constants are passed in frameSelector, WP SET FRAME will give focus to the specified sub-section header or footer of the first selected section (if it does not contain any header or footer, the command will do nothing).
WP SET FRAME will do nothing if the frameSelector frame does not exist for the selection section (for example, wk current section left header when there is no distinction between left and right pages in wpArea).

Example

You want to set the cursor to the left footer of the current section:

WP SET FRAME(*;"WPArea";wk current section left footer)
