NAME

getfrm − returns the current frameID number

SYNOPSIS

getfrm

DESCRIPTION

getfrm returns the current frameID number.  The frameID number is a number assigned to the frame by FMLI and displayed flush left in the frame’s title bar.  If a frame is closed its frameID number may be reused when a new frame is opened.  getfrm takes no arguments. 

EXAMPLES

If a menu whose frameID is 3 defines an item to have this action descriptor:

action=open text stdtext `getfrm`

the text frame defined in the definition file stdtext would be passed the argument 3 when it is opened. 

NOTES

It is not a good idea to use getfrm in a backquoted expression coded on a line by itself.  Stand-alone backquoted expressions are evaluated before any descriptors are parsed, thus the frame is not yet fully current, and may not have been assigned a frameID number.
