What is the best way to enable usage of multiple forms in the same RBASE session? For example: I have a main menu form that everything operates from. I would like to be able open several forms from that main menu at the same time while being able to toggle between forms. MDI forms?
Tommy, Ask and you shall receive! Take a look at the "Designing MDI Applications" included with the 2007 R:BASE 7.6 and Turbo V-8 Super Advanced Training CD. The updated RBG76/RBG8 SAT applications are also available at: http://www.rupdates.com/rbg76SAT/ (2007 R:BASE 7.6 Apps) http://www.rupdates.com/rbg8SAT/ (2007 R:BASE Turbo V-8 Apps) Database: MDIForms Forms: . MDIAppsMainMenu . MDI_FormNavigator . MDI_Customers . MDI_Contacts . MDI_InvoiceHeader . MDI_InvoiceDetails Command File: DesigningMDIApplications.DAT In particular, look at the "MDI_FormNavigator" form that controls all MDI forms exactly the way you have asked. Have fun! Very Best R:egards, Razzak.
