Control menu

To open the Control menu, click the Control-menu box (in ILWIS represented by a small ILWIS related icon) in the upper left corner of a window, or click the title bar of a window with the right mouse button.

With the Control menu you can close, minimize or maximize a window, move a window, restore an icon to a window etc. For dialog boxes and Property sheets, the Control menu can also be used to copy the contents to the clipboard or to print the contents. The Control menu is especially convenient if you use the keyboard rather than the mouse. Open the Control menu for a window by selecting the Control-menu box in the upper-left corner of a window, or press Alt+Spacebar on the keyboard. When a window is minimized to icon on the Windows taskbar, you can open the Control menu by clicking the icon on the taskbar with the right mouse button.

Control menu commands:

Restore	Restore a window to its former size after you have enlarged (maximized) it or reduced (minimized) it to an icon.
Move	Move the window to another position by using the keyboard.
Size	Change the size of the window by using the keyboard.
Minimize	Reduce the window to an icon.
Maximize	Enlarge a window to its maximum size.
Close	Close the window. If you close the ILWIS Main window, you close all ILWIS data windows and you exit ILWIS.
ILWIS	Switch to ILWIS Main window.

When you double-click the Control-menu box in the ILWIS Main window, you close all ILWIS windows and you exit ILWIS. When you double-click the Control-menu box in an ILWIS data window, you close that data window. When you double-click an icon, the icon is restored to a window.
