I am trying to find out about the WINDOW TYPE: ‘pop up form window’.
I am sure I read something about this new window type — that it is supposed to
be modal relative to the frontMost window that was open when it was called.
If the user clicks outside that window, then it is basically ‘cancelled’ and
vaporizes.
But I think it is supposed to be useful to query the user for something that it
can then pass on to the frontMost window it represents.
When what I call the “OWNER WINDOW” is showing, I pop up the POP UP FORM window
using:
--------
$obj:=OBJ_GetWindowInfo // custom method that returns an object with
characteristics about the window (frontmost in this case)
$testForm:=Open form window("pwChooseFieldToInsert";Pop up form
window;$obj.left;$obj.bottom-300) // open the window as pop up Form...
DIALOG("pwChooseFieldToInsert”) // show the form.
--------
This pops up this form window in the bottom-left of the current window,
displaying the correct form.
If I click outside of it (when it is active) then it disappears as I remember
it was supposed to. (Like iOS, where touching outside a modal window just
dismisses it)
However, if the
However, how do I use information retrieved from it in my ‘OWNER WINDOW’ after
it is correctly entered and ‘approved’ [i.e. OKed] ?
Do you recall reading about this new window type? If so, can you give me a link
to the documentation? I cannot find it anywhere…
Thanks,
Chris
