------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Sep 28 02:01:03 -0700 2005 ------- I think having an action property on a button would be great. There are a few things that I wuold point out however. First, having the new form modal or non-nodal really needs to be an option. There have been many when I used a new form as a way of driving the old form. For example the new form might just have a single column grid that the user can type down into or scroll into, this would be used to move the record cursor on the old form, the user may elect to leave this form open and simply move it to the side. Secondly it may not be a good idea to get to caught up with the idea of a Button as the interface for this. Double clicking on a row in a grid and then opening up a detail form for the record, or records, represented by that row is a very common function. Another part of this, IMO, is having the formdef as the object that is used to keep the form alive. With this approach, even if the actual variable is hidden under wraps form the developer, there is the opportunity to have only one instance of a form open at any given time. There are lots of places where this definite short coming. For example in EIS style applications it is common to open more then one of the same form, setting different filtering options in each so that the user can compare results side by side as it where. Another use is when one develops a form template, many controls added at edit time, then a few added at run time as needed to make different instances of the form. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
