| Inheritance | NativeWindowInitOptions  Object |
| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
The properties defined in the initialization options cannot be changed after a window is created.
Note: For the initial application window created automatically
by AIR, all of these properties (except type) are
set in the application descriptor. The initial window is always type NativeWindowType.NORMAL.

maximizable | property |
maximizable:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies whether the window can be maximized by the user.
For windows with system chrome, this setting will affect the appearance of the window maximize button. It will also affect other parts of the system-managed user interface, such as the window menu on Microsoft Windows.
When set to false, the window cannot be maximized by the user. Calling the
NativeWindow maximize() method directly will maximize the window.
OS behavior notes:
- On operating systems, such as Mac OS X, in which maximizing
a window does not also prevent resizing, both
maximizableandresizablemust be set tofalseto prevent the window from being zoomed or resized. - Some Linux window managers allow windows to be maximized by the user even when the
maximizableproperty is set tofalse.
The default value is true.

minimizable | property |
minimizable:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies whether the window can be minimized by the user.
For windows with system chrome, this setting will affect the appearance of the window minimize button. It will also affect other parts of the system-managed user interface, such as the window menu on Microsoft Windows.
When set to false, the window cannot be minimized by the user. Calling the
NativeWindow minimize() method directly will minimize the window.
Note: Some Linux window managers allow windows to be minimized by the user even when the
minimizable property is set to false.
The default value is true.
Implementation
public function get minimizable():Boolean public function set minimizable(value:Boolean):voidRelated API Elements
owner | property |
owner:NativeWindow| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 2.6 |
Specifies the NativeWindow object that should own any windows created with this NativeWindowInitOptions.
When a window has an owner, that window is always displayed in front of its owner, is minimized and hidden along with its owner, and closes when its owner closes.
The default value is null.
Implementation
public function get owner():NativeWindow public function set owner(value:NativeWindow):voidRelated API Elements
renderMode | property |
renderMode:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 3.0 |
Specifies the render mode of the NativeWindow object created with this NativeWindowInitOptions.
Constants for the valid values of this property are defined in the NativeWindowRenderMode class
If not specified, the default value for renderMode is
NativeWindowRenderMode.AUTO.
The default value is NativeWindowRenderMode.AUTO.
Implementation

resizable | property |
resizable:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies whether the window can be resized by the user.
When set to false, the window cannot be resized by the user using system chrome.
Calling the NativeWindow startResize() method in response to a mouse event will
allow the user to resize the window. Setting the window bounds directly will also change the window size.
OS behavior notes:
- On operating systems, such as Mac OS X, in which
maximizing windows is a resizing operation, both
maximizableandresizablemust be set tofalseto prevent the window from being zoomed or resized. - Some Linux window managers allow windows to be resized by the user even when the
resizableproperty is set tofalse.
The default value is true.

systemChrome | property |
systemChrome:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies whether system chrome is provided for the window.
Chrome refers to the window controls that allow a user to control the desktop properties of a window. System chrome uses the standard controls for the desktop environment in which the AIR application is run and conforms to the standard look-and-feel of the native operating system.
To use chrome provided by a framework (such as Flex), or to provide your own window
chrome, set systemChrome to NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE.
Constants for the valid values of this property are defined in the NativeWindowSystemChrome class:
NativeWindowSystemChrome.NONENativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD
If not specified, the default value for systemChrome is
NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD.
Setting the transparent property to true for a window
with system chrome is not supported.
The default value is NativeWindowSystemChrome.STANDARD.
Implementation
public function get systemChrome():String public function set systemChrome(value:String):voidRelated API Elements
transparent | property |
transparent:Boolean| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies whether the window supports transparency and alpha blending against the desktop.
If true, the window display is composited against the desktop. Areas of the window
not covered by a display object, or covered by display objects with an alpha setting near zero,
are effectively invisible and will not intercept mouse events (which will be received by the
desktop object below the window). The alpha value at which an object will no longer
intercepting mouse events varies between about .06 and .01, depending on the operating system.
Setting the transparent property to true for a window
with system chrome is not supported.
Note: Not all Linux window managers support transparency. On such systems, transparent areas of a window are composited against black.
The default value is false.
Implementation
public function get transparent():Boolean public function set transparent(value:Boolean):void type | property |
type:String| Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0 |
| Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0 |
Specifies the type of the window to be created.
Constants for the valid values of this property are defined in the NativeWindowType class:
NativeWindowType.NORMAL— A typical window. Normal windows use full-size chrome and appear on the Windows or Linux task bar.NativeWindowType.UTILITY— A tool palette. Utility windows use a slimmer version of the system chrome and do not appear on the Windows task bar.NativeWindowType.LIGHTWEIGHT— lightweight windows cannot have system chrome and do not appear on the Windows or Linux task bar. In addition, lightweight windows do not have the System (Alt-Space) menu on Windows. Lightweight windows are suitable for notification bubbles and controls such as combo-boxes that open a short-lived display area. When the lightweight type is used,systemChromemust be set toNativeWindowSystemChrome.NONE.
If not specified, the default value for type is
NativeWindowType.NORMAL.
The default value is NativeWindowType.NORMAL.
