Hi ,

you cannot create a window inside a window , to acheive your requirement you need to use the BOX command, please check the help on it for more info

we cannot create a window inside another window

but u can overlap a window with another window

create 2 separate windows and overlap them

In 1 window go to output options and select the checkbox "lines with shading" which gives u a box with the dimentions of the window

Hi,

Right click on that window, create table with one column and one row.

So, that will become box.

1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

BOX

Syntax:

/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.

Parameters: For each parameter (XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME), both a measurement and a unit of measure must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be entered as a percentage between 0 and 100.

•XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.

Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.

The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:

X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS

Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS

•WIDTH: Width of the box.

Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.

•HEIGHT: Height of the box.

Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.

•FRAME: Thickness of frame.

Default: 0 (no frame).

•INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as %.

Default: 100 (full black)

/: BOX INTENSITY 10

Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.

/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
