UnLockWindowScreen		Note

LockWindowScreen UnLockWindowScreen

When you want to open a window on a screen a RxMUI window is using, you must lock that screen, or you will be never sure that screen is opened when needed. This method may be used to lock the screen a window is using and to obtain its name. This screen is:

The REAL screen the window is opened on, if it is opened.
The DEFAULT public screen, if the window is not opened.

As soon as possible, the screen should be unlocked using the method UnLockWindowScreen or strange things might happen. The method (as any other RxMUI one) writes its real result in RC . Just one screen may be locked at a time, it means that a double invocation of LockWindowScreen without unlocking the screen will fail (RC=0).
Example:

    call DoMethod("win","LockWindowScreen","S")
    if rc then do
        /* use the screen S here */
        call DoMethod("win","UnLockWindowScreen")
    end
    else do
        /* sorry no screen */
    end
