Albert and mike, I tried that as well
This is the code bringing up the 2nd form. EDIT USING kayparkeditorder AS MDI I still have to escape from the Onkeypress form (not associated with any table) to see the new form. This is the code when I double click on the varlisview form. I commented the clear var and closewindow code for testing. IF vControl IS NULL OR (SLEN(CTXT(.vControl))) = 0 THEN RETURN ELSE SET VAR vRows = 1 SET VAR vFormMode = 'EDIT' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'FALSE' PROPERTY Btn_Close VISIBLE 'TRUE' -- CLEAR VAR IV%,RBTI_%,vRows,vKeyWord,vSearchString,vWhereClause, + -- vQuotes,vPause2Message,vRows,vMany,vFormMode,vSearchWhat -- CLOSEWINDOW ENDIF RETURN -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Albert Berry Sent: Thursday, December 27, 2012 11:46 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: form stays Call the form MDI.
