Par2: Multiple window layouts
2006-05-28 -- Bjarne Havnen
 
Operating two different windows with same fields in the same procedure will 
give you a lot of Warning Label Dupliated, but it can be done
The steps are
omit the original window declaration
Declare the window label as a window reference
copy the original window definition and give it another name, like 
OriginalWindow
copy it once more and call it CopyWindow
In the embed before opening window, do a reference assignent
  Case condition
  Of whatever
       Window &=Originalwindow
   Of another
      window &=Copywindow
  else
     Window &=OriginalWindow
  End

 If you like to avoid maintaining more than one copy ,make a template to 
generate the original code with a copy label based on the 
%StandardWindowGeneration. A sample is attached.

#Template(twowin,'make a reference copy of the window'),Family('cw20')
#Extension(twowin,'twowin')
#At(%dataSectionBeforewindow)
 Omit('_originalwin')
#EndAT
#At(%dataSectionafterwindow)
_originalwin
%Window &Window
#Insert(%StandardWindowGenerationCopy)
#EndAT
#At(%BeforeWindowOpening) 
  %Window &=Original%Window
  #Embed(%WindowReferenceAssignement,'Overide window refereence')
!condition for openeing do abvoe
 
#EndAT
