Is there a way to find out the size of the edit window area (the size of Full Size window) using the macro language?

For example, how can I create two windows, each of which use half of the edit window area (top and bottom half)?

I have tried something like:
  #5 = Screen_Lines*Font_Height

      Win_Move(Win_Num,0,#5/2,WINW,#5/2)

      


      However, that seems not to give correct value, the window is smaller than it should be.

There appears to be no trivial way of doing this right now. I will add new "Internal values" for this soon.

A possible work-around would be to create a full-sized window, get its values for Win_Height and Win_Width and then delete the full-sized window.

Sincerely,


Ted.

And if possible: Please add two additional values:
1.) Width of vertical scrollbar in pixels (0 if deactivated)
2.) Width of horizontal scrollbar in pixels (0 if deactivated)

That would be helpful for example in the macro described in thread
"Re: cannot see last character on line" in August this year.
