2.0 Detailed Description
2.1 Enhancements
2.1.1 TYX Programming Support
2.1.1.1 Osrunforeign() (MS Windows only)
OSrunforeign() is an interface to the Operating System to be called when a Foreign Program is to be activated. (A Foreign Program is defined to be any program which does not use TYX Programming Support.) OSrunforeign() examines new TPS Global Variable OSfrun to determine the initial Window state of the Foreign Program when it is activated:
| OSrun |
MS Windows Show Flag |
| 'H' |
SW_HIDE |
| 'I' |
SW_SHOWMINIMIZED |
| 'M' |
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED |
If OSrun contains any value other than those listed above, OSrunforeign() uses SW_SHOW.
After examining OSrun, OSrunforeign() sets OSrun to zero.
