Informix Error -50013

Reasons / Common Causes

-50013 fires in the GUI builder ("Window Painter") class library -- per the official guidance: The ixWindow constructor generates this message. The user has requested a mainTop or normalTop style of ixWindow but has also specified a containing window. Only popup windows can have containing windows, so VCL ignores the containingWindow parameter.

1. Cannot specify a containing window for a top level window. Ignoring specified containingWindow parameter -- an invalid argument, state, or NULL value reaching ixWindow's constructor, per the official guidance.

Solutions / Resolution

1. Review the application's call to ixWindow's constructor against the condition described above, and correct the argument, object state, or configuration involved, per the official guidance.
