INTRODUCTION
============
This kbase entry documents a change in behaviour between Version 8 GUI window handling and Version 9.0A (and above) GUI window handling.
INFORMATION
===========
In Progress Version 8 the MOVE-TO-TOP and MOVE-TO-BOTTOM methods only apply to the window where the method is being used. Consequently, if either of these methods were used in a child window, the movement of the child in relation to another application window, is not reflected in its calling parent.
In contrast, with Progress Version 9 these methods apply to the child window and equally to all other windows in the Progress session. In these circumstances the movement of the child in front of or behind other application windows, will also be performed by all parent, child and sibling windows.
This change in behaviour is intentional and necessary for the implementation of the SHOW-IN-TASKBAR and TOP-ONLY attributes.
