// Print screenshot of current window
win.print({ content: 'screenshot' })
When content is set to views, the embedded views in the platform window will be concatenated and printed as
individual pages. If includeSelf is set to true, the platform window itself will be printed as the first
page - be aware that this page will not include the embedded views - it will only include the contents of
the platform window itself (e.g. tab stacks), with blank spaces where the view contents would be embedded.
Due to a known issue, view contents that are not visible at the time print is called will not appear when
printing contents: views. This includes views that are obscured behind other active UI elements.
To print the views embedded in their page context, set content to screenshot.

Experimental Shows a menu on the window.
User-defined shape for data returned upon menu item click. Should be a union of all possible data shapes for the entire menu, and the click handler should process these with a "reducer" pattern.
Returns a promise that resolves when the user has either selected an item or closed the menu. (This may take longer than other apis).
Resolves to an object with {result: 'clicked', data } where data is the data field on the menu item clicked, or {result 'closed'} when the user doesn't select anything.
Calling this method will close previously opened menus.
This could be used to show a drop down menu over views in a platform window:
const template = [
{
label: 'Menu Item 1',
data: 'hello from item 1'
},
{ type: 'separator' },
{
label: 'Menu Item 2',
type: 'checkbox',
checked: true,
data: 'The user clicked the checkbox'
},
{
label: 'see more',
enabled: false,
submenu: [
{ label: 'submenu 1', data: 'hello from submenu' }
]
}
]
fin.me.showPopupMenu({ template }).then(r => {
if (r.result === 'closed') {
console.log('nothing happened');
} else {
console.log(r.data)
}
})
Overriding the built in context menu (note: that this can be done per element or document wide):
document.addEventListener('contextmenu', e => {
e.preventDefault();
const template = [
{
label: 'Menu Item 1',
data: 'hello from item 1'
},
{ type: 'separator' },
{
label: 'Menu Item 2',
type: 'checkbox',
checked: true,
data: 'The user clicked the checkbox'
},
{
label: 'see more',
enabled: false,
submenu: [
{ label: 'submenu 1', data: 'hello from submenu' }
]
}
]
fin.me.showPopupMenu({ template, x: e.x, y: e.y }).then(r => {
if (r.result === 'closed') {
console.log('nothing happened');
} else {
console.log(r.data)
}
})
})
Shows a popup window.
Note: If this WebContents is a view and its attached window has a popup open, this will close it.
Shows a popup window. Including a name in options will attempt to show an existing window as a popup, if
that window doesn't exist or no name is included a window will be created. If the caller view or the caller
view's parent window currently has a popup window open, calling showPopupWindow again will dismiss the currently
open popup window before showing the new popup window. Also, if the caller view is destroyed or detached, the popup
will be dismissed.
Note: in the case where the window being shown as a popup needs to be created, it is a child of the caller view's parent window.
Create and show a single-use popup window that returns a single result to the caller. initialOptions allows
us to pass window options to the popup window that will be created. resultDispatchBehavior: 'close' ensures
that once the popup window calls dispatchPopupResult it is closed. blurBehavior: 'close' will yield a dismissed
result should the popup window lose focus.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Same as above but using an existing window as a popup by referencing its name:
Note: if a window with the name provided doesn't exist, it will be created.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: true
},
name: 'my-popup', // shows the 'my-popup' window if it exists, otherwise creates it
url: '<my_popup_url>', // navigates to this url if it doesn't match the location.href of the 'my-popup' window
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
hideOnClose: true, // persist window on 'dismissed' result, alternatively change onResultDispatch and blurBehavior to 'hide'
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Create and show a popup window that is able to return multiple results to the caller via an onPopupResult callback. Each
time the popup window calls dispatchPopupResult, the callback will be executed on the result. Once the popup window is
closed or hidden, the showPopupWindow promise will resolve with a dismissed result that will include the most recently
dispatched result as lastDispatchResult:
const popupResultCallback = (payload) => {
if (payload.result === 'clicked') {
if (payload.data.topic === 'color-changed') {
// do something like
// setColor(payload.data.value);
}
}
};
await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'none',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupResult: popupResultCallback
});
Same as above but using an existing window as a popup:
const popupResultCallback = (payload) => {
if (payload.result === 'clicked') {
if (payload.data.topic === 'color-changed') {
// do something like
// setColor(payload.data.value);
}
}
};
await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
name: 'my-popup', // shows the 'my-popup' window if it exists, otherwise creates it
url: '<my_popup_url>', // navigates to this url if it doesn't match the location.href of the 'my-popup' window
resultDispatchBehavior: 'none',
blurBehavior: 'hide',
focus: true,
hideOnClose: true, // we can just use this or we can change blurBehavior to 'hide'
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupResult: popupResultCallback
});
Create or show a popup window that disables user movement (positioning and resizing) in the caller
view's parent window by using blurBehavior: 'modal':
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'modal',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Create a popup window as a modal:
Note: The only way to ensure true modal behavior is to create the window being shown as a popup with a
modalParentIdentity that uses the caller view's parent window identity.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
initialOptions: {
frame: false,
modalParentIdentity: fin.me.identity
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'modal',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
Pass data to a popup window that is available when the popup is shown.
Note: this is just one example for a use of additionalOptions, it can be used to update any updatable
window options when creating or showing an existing window as a popup.
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
additionalOptions: {
customData: {
foo: 'bar'
}
},
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0
});
// Access from the popup window context like so:
const { customData } = await fin.me.getOptions();
const { foo } = customData;
Execute a callback on the popup's OpenFin window when the popup is shown:
const popupWindowCallback = async (win) => {
await win.flash();
};
const result = await fin.me.showPopupWindow({
url: '<my_popup_url>',
resultDispatchBehavior: 'close',
blurBehavior: 'close',
focus: true,
height: 300,
width: 300,
x: 0,
y: 0,
onPopupReady: popupWindowCallback;
});

A basic window that wraps a native HTML window. Provides more fine-grained control over the window state such as the ability to minimize, maximize, restore, etc. By default a window does not show upon instantiation; instead the window's show() method must be invoked manually. The new window appears in the same process as the parent window. It has the ability to listen for window specific events.
