| Syntax: | Default: |
| /PM[TYPE]:type | /PMTYPE:VIO |
Use /PMTYPE to specify the type of executable file that the linker generates. Do not use this option when generating dynamic link libraries (DLLs). When /PMTYPE is set for any file type other than executable files, it is ignored.
type must be one of the following:
| PM | The executable must be run in a window. |
| VIO | The executable can be run either in a window or in a full screen. |
| NOVIO | The executable must not be run in a window; it must use a full screen. |
/PMTYPE Parameters
| Type | Description | Equivalent NAME Statement Parameter in the Module Definition File |
|---|---|---|
| PM | Presentation Manager application. The application uses the API provided by the Presentation Manager, and must run in the Presentation Manager environment. | WINDOWAPI |
| VIO | Application compatible with Presentation Manager. The application can run inside the Presentation Manager, or it can run in a separate screen group. An application can be of this type if it uses the proper subset of Windows video, keyboard, and mouse functions supported in the Presentation Manager applications. | WINDOWCOMPAT |
| NOVIO | Application that is not compatible with the Presentation Manager and must run in a separate screen group from the Presentation Manager. | NOTWINDOWCOMPAT |
