I use the following code to close and open a window.

IF SSN '' THEN
WinOpen=Get_Property("EMPLOY_1","HANDLE")
IF WinOpen then
  WinClose=SEND_EVENT("EMPLOY_1","CLOSE")
END
retValue=REPOSITORY( 'EXECUTE', 'TEST_APP*OIWIN**EMPLOY_1',SSN )

END

.

What is the difference in using the above SEND_EVENT to close and the End_Window function.

.

What is the difference in using the above REPOSITORY to open and the Start_Window function.

.

When is it better to use one function or the other?

Thanks..

Steve,

When you use Start_Window or End_Window you can pass parameters along with the window you want to open or close. This functionality alone makes them more powerful, where as with Send_Event(@WINDOW , "CLOSE") or using Repository, you simply start or close the window.

Hope this helps…
