This function turns a normal screen (one that was not originally defined as a window in the 5250 application) into a window. It is typically used in combination with the saveScreenImage() API.
This method sets Genie in a state that must be cleared with stopShowingAsWindow(), or else Genie Designer will not show the correct screen.
Optional Parameters:
- scrollingFlag (Boolean) - false by default. When false, the window is 85% opaque when dragging. When true, the window remains 100% opaque.
- reverseFlag (Boolean) - false by default. Used by designer to back out element positioning changes.
Example Usage:
Place saveScreenImage() in the onload event of the Work With Spooled Files screen. Place showAsWindow() in the onpageload event of the Display Spooled File screen. When option 5 is selected to display a spooled file, it will now appear as a draggable window on top of the Work With Spooled Files screen.
