About defining a window’s style

When you define a window’s style in the Window painter, you
are actually assigning values to the properties for the window. You
can programmatically change a window’s style during execution by
setting its properties in scripts. For a complete list of window
properties, see the section called “Window control” in Objects and Controls.

To specify window properties

1. Click the window’s background to display the window’s
   properties in the Properties view.

   Another way to display window properties

   You can also select the window name in the Control List
   view.
