I want to use the system variables @MDIACTIVE and @MDIFRAME in my programming, but the compiler says "Illegal expression encountered". What's wrong? All the other environment system variables are OK.

I use OI 3.3.

Hi Oystein,

You're right. @MDIActive and @MDIFrame are not recognised by the compiler, and can only be used in the context of Quickevents. I don't know if this is an oversight on RTI's part, but at least we've got the 'Expendable' keyword back in OI3.6!

Oystein,

In your code you can get these properties using Get_Property. Here are the lines to use:

mdiFrame =Get_Property(windowID, "MDIFRAME")

mdiActive=Get_Property(windowID, "MDIACTIVE")

This should be a suitable workaround.

Good luck…

Carl,

Thanks for setting my mind at ease. I thought somebody had pilfered system variables from my OI. I can manage without the missing two, however. I use Get_Property instead.
