Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the decorations property to specify the standard appearance for a window type. When used within a switch control structure, specifies a section of statements to be executed in all cases.

Syntax

default

Description

Use the default keyword to set a stack window to a normal window appearance.

An editable window whose decorations property is set to default has a title bar, close box, zoom box, and collapse box (on Mac OS|Mac OS systems), or a title bar, minimize button, maximize button, and menu bar (on Unix and Windows systems). A palette, modal, or modeless window whose decorations is set to default has a title bar.

If a switch control structure has a default section, the statements in the default section are executed if no break statement has been encountered yet in the switch control structure. (Usually, there is a break statement within each case section, so the default section is executed only if none of the case conditions is true.)

Examples
