CreateWindow

CreateWindow[notebook_RemoteNotebook]

opens a notebook in a new window

CreateWindow[expr, opts]

creates a new window with expr shown in StandardForm. CreateWindow returns RemoteCellObj.

CreateWindow[cellExpr, opts]

creates a new window with cellExpr rendered:

here CreateWindow also returns RemoteCellObj.

Options

WindowSize

Sets size {w,h} of the created window in pixels.

WindowTitle

Sets the name of created window.

"Notebook"

Specify the notebook (optional) associated with a created window.

Examples

Basic examples

Print graphics to a new window:

win = CreateWindow[Graphics3D[Cuboid[]]];

then close it:

NotebookClose[win];

Print HTML content to a new window:

CreateWindow[Cell["<h2 style=\"color:red\">Hello World</h2>", "Output", "HTML"]];

A window that opens another window

This is possible if you provide the notebook in Options; otherwise, the system does not know where to open it:

man := ManipulatePlot[Sin[x w], {x,-1,1}, {w,1,5}];

open[n_] := CreateWindow[man];

CreateWindow[EventHandler[InputButton[], Function[Null, open[n]]]]

This will continue to work even if you close the original notebook.

Tracking created window

You can assign handlers to events from the window:

state = "";
TextView[state // Offload, "Label"->"State"]

win = CreateWindow[ExpressionCell[Plot[x,{x,0,1}], "Output"]];
EventHandler[win, {
	"Mounted" -> Function[Null, state = "Mounted"],
	"Closed" -> Function[Null, state = "Closed"]
}];

Getting WindowObj

In order to send event or evaluate frontend symbols (FrontSubmit and others) in the context of created window or push dialog windows, you can get it's connection object using "Ready" event:

win = CreateWindow[ExpressionCell[Plot[x, {x, 0, 1}], "Output"]];
winObject;
EventHandler[win, {
  "Ready" -> Function[o, winObject = o]
}];

Then you can do, for example:

FrontSubmit[Alert["Hey!"], "Window"->winObject];
