The Display Window (QsnDspWin) API draws the window border for the current window and clears the window area. The QsnDspWin API does not make a window current. It simply redraws the window using the existing border attributes. For overlapping windows, use this API only for the current window. If a Draw Window exit routine is specified on the window description, this routine is called after the window is defined successfully and prior to actually drawing the window.

Authorities and Locks

None.

Required Parameter

Window handle: INPUT; BINARY(4)
A handle for the window to be drawn.

Omissible Parameter

The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter. If this parameter is omitted, diagnostic and escape messages are issued to the application.

Returned Value

Return code: OUTPUT; BINARY(4)
A return code indicating the result of the operation. The value returned will be 0 if the operation was successful, or -1 otherwise.
