Pat: The asterisk was added to the Dialog command in V12. That was all well and good but the developer had to get creative to communicate with a given window within a process because Call process was picked up by the frontmost window in a process.
The “Call form” command (late V15) allows us to run code in the context of a given window making it very easy to update specific windows, regardless of how they were opened. If you’re working in a multi window environment, it’s easy to do “real time updates” by messaging processes so that they can refresh the data that they’re displaying. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-910-4084 On Wed, Apr 29, 2020 at 4:19 PM Chuck Miller via 4D_Tech < [email protected]> wrote: > workers > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 > Informed Solutions, Inc.
