In the timer loop, have it check for a marker variable from your other forms eep.
Remember that timers run in their own thread, so you can set the timer to check for the marker pretty often. Same way to close the MDI form, by checking for a marker in the timer eep. I have done this several times. It works fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dennis McGrath" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 11:40 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: lost focus I am using MDI forms Unfortunately, that won't work in my case.
