Hi,
om/Changes _to_PowerB uilder/ New _In_PowerB uilder_2/N ewPB2_-_Pa inter_Feat ures/NewPB 2_- _MDI_Wi ndows/NewP B2_-_Sizin g_the_MDI_ Client/new pb2_- _sizi ng_the_mdi _client.ht ml
what ur looking for is,
int nHeight
nHeight = mdi_1.microhelpheight
When you create and save a MDI frame, PowerBuilder creates a control called mdi_1. PowerBuilder uses mdi_1 to identify the client area of the frame (the area that holds the sheets). mdi_1 displays in the list of objects in the PowerScript Painter Paste Objects drop-down list box.
TIP: mdi_1 is not a reserved word, but should be used with caution.
Note:MicroHelpHeight is an attribute of mdi_1 that PowerBuilder sets when you select a window type for your MDI window. If you select MDI Frame, there is no MicroHelp and MicroHelpHeight is 0; if you select MDI Frame with MicroHelp, MicroHelpHeight is the height of the MicroHelp.
