Command: panel

Syntax

panel <assign> {, <assign> ... }

Description

Create one or more panel identifiers. Panel identifiers are pointers to panel members of system windows and menupanes.

Parameters

• <assign>

<ident> = <panel>

• <ident>
  The name of the identifier.

• <menupane>
  The panel member of a system structure, or another panel identifier.

Switches

None

Notes

No graphics are created nor destroyed when panel identifiers are declared or deleted. They are for reference only.

When a panel identifier is printed, e.g. tell mypan, the printed text is the full sub-panel name including its parent structure.

Examples

Create a new un-initialized panel identifier.

panel mypan

Create a new panel identifier and set it to reference a panel in an existing window. The tell statement will display something like win4.panels[4].

panel mypan = mywin.panels[4]
tell mypan
