I’ve seen this question come up a couple times recently. And while it would be nice to do you cant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The frame type is required to be set when the window is constructed. And there’s no constructor on a window that allows you to do something like<\/p>\n\n\n\n
dim w as new Window(frametype)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nSo how can you have something like a document window on macOS and a movable modal on Windows ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a little inventiveness and some work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First – make a container control that will be the windows content. All your common ui elements go in here. This is the common UI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then create a new window for macOS and set its frame type to whatever you need on macOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And one for Windows and Linux if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One each embed, at design time, an instance of the container control you just created. Any non-common ui can be added directly to the windows themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now at runtime when you need an instance of this window you can use conditional compilation to make sure you get the right kind of window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
