Define a struct to hold the information for your form. On the
formOpenEvent, allocate space for it on the dynamic heap, and save the
pointer or handle in a global variable. In the various event handlers,
modify this through the pointer or handle, and deallocate space in the
frmCloseEvent. That combines the power of globals, but avoids polluting the
global namespace as much and saves memory when your form isn't in use.
