Syntax

DL.SetWindowLayout [ layout ]

The SetWindowLayout method syntax has these parts:

Part

Description

layout

Optional String argument. A combination of the following letters:

S - sequence area visible

D - doc/script area visible

Default value is "SD" - show both the sequence lists and the doc/script area.

Remarks

SetWindowLayout is useful when you have a ready-to-use script/project and the end user should not be distracted by details of your Docklight project and script definitions. By hiding some areas of the Docklight main window, you can put the focus on the Communication Window output, or a SetUserOutput display you created.

Example

' Example SetWindowLayout

' show communication window only. No doc/script area, no Send/Receive Sequence area

DL.SetWindowLayout ""

DL.Pause 4000

' show communication window and Send/Receive sequence lists, but no doc/script area

DL.SetWindowLayout "S"

DL.Pause 4000

' show everything (default, same as <layout> = "SD")

DL.SetWindowLayout
