WindowForceProcessAnchors(windowName)

Arguments

windowName

string – Name of the window.

Nothing.

Details

• The client processes the anchors of the window first and then those of every child window, recursively.
• Anchors set the position, and with two corner anchors also the size. See WindowAddAnchor for how one, two and more anchors are handled.
• Use it when you need correct positions or sizes (for example from WindowGetScreenPosition) right after changing anchors or sizes.

Errors

• Error in function call 'WindowForceProcessAnchors': Window %s does not exist
