LPFNIG_GUIWINDESTROY  MyGUIwinCleanup; /* Called when GUI window closed */
HWND    hWnd;          /* Handle of existing parent window     */
HWND     hWndImage;    /* Will hold handle of GUI window        */
BOOL     bDelete;     /* TRUE= delete HIGEAR image when close window  */
AT_ERRCOUNT nErrcount;    /* Returned count of errors      */
/* Create a GUI image window: */
nErrcount = IG_GUI_window_create ( hIGear, IG_GRP_DEFAULT, hWnd, "My GUI Image Window",
100, 50, 400, 200, &hWndImage );
If ( nErrcount == 0)
        {
/* Register a function to be called if user closes this GUI window:  */
        bDelete = FALSE;    /* (Don't delete HIGEAR if window is closed)*/
        IG_GUI_window_CB_register ( hWndImage, MyGUIwinCleanup, (LPVOID) &bDelete );
         ...
        }
/* Callback function, called when window is destroyed: */
VOID ACCUAPI  MyGUIwinCleanup
( LPVOID lpPrivate, HIGEAR hIGear, HWND hWndClosing )
{
/* Delete the image if bDelete not FALSE: */
if ( *((LPBOOL) lpPrivate) )
        {
        if ( IG_image_is_valid (hIGear) )
 { IG_image_delete ( hIGear ); }
        }
return;

Remarks:

See the description of the IG_GUI_window_associate() function.

 Currently it is possible to change font title for Page windows that is created by IG_GUI_page_window_create(). To set the font use IG_GUI_page_attribute_set() and to get the font use IG_GUI_page_attribute_get() with IG_GUI_PAGE_FONT_TITLE option. As in the case of thumbnail window, the user is responsible for creating and deleting font.
