ClientWidth:Int32 group:Int32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
group	In	Int32	required	Handle of a window, panel, tabber, canvas or the desktop. Other gadgets can give meaningless numbers.

Returns: The usable width in pixels.

Description

Gives the width of the area of a group that gadgets can use, without frame or scroll bars. For Desktop it is the width of the primary display, including the area under the task bar and start menu.

Differences

• The desktop is as big as the primary display (all of it, not only the area free of the task bar), where there is a display to ask. A window of the operating system has the frame and the title bar of the system, which are not part of its client area; a menu bar or a status bar is.

Examples

win = CreateWindow("Client", 10, 10, 200, 150, Desktop(), 15)
