Frontmost process


Frontmost process {( * )} -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
*	Operator	Process number for first non-floating window
Function result	Integer	Number of the process whose windows are in the front

Description

Frontmost process returns the number of the process whose window (or windows) are in the front.

When you have one or more floating windows open, there are two window layers:

Regular windows
Floating windows

If the Frontmost process function is used from within a floating window form method or object method, the function returns the process reference number of the frontmost floating window in the floating window layer. If you specify the optional * parameter, the function returns the process reference number of the frontmost active window in the regular window layer.

Example
