JSDoc: Class: Window

Constructor

new Window(options, callbackopt, errorCallbackopt)

Creates a new Window.

Best practice is to invoke with the new operand. See the window.constructor tutorial for an example. Failure to use the new operand will result in a console warning (but will otherwise succeed).

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`options`	fin.desktop.Window~options		Window creation options. See options for more details.
`callback`	successCallback	<optional>	Called if the method succeeds. See success callback for shape.
`errorCallback`	errorCallback	<optional>	Called if there is a network error. See error callback for shape.

Tutorials:

window.constructor

By default (when set to true), the window will not appear until the window object's load event fires. When set to false, the window will appear immediately but will be empty. The user will experience a brief white flash until the content arrives and is rendered. This can be mitigated somewhat by setting the backgroundColor option to some other color compatible with the expected content.
