Giuseppe,
Your code opening window2 does not exist within the window, it exists
within the container control and because of this "Self" is the
container control.
If you want proof of this, put a breakpoint on that line and then
look at self in the debugger. You will set that it is showing the
container control name, not the window name. Now click on "Self" in
the debugger and you will see that one of its properties is "Window".
If you search the NUG digest you will find places where this is
discussed. In fact here is one of them:
Now, if you have a control *subclass* and you've got code in the
class definition for that control -- code that's not embedded in
the window where a particular control instance is created, but
associated with all controls of that class -- then Self is the
control (and is synonymous to Me). But in that case, you can use
the handy .Window property of the RectControl class to get to the
parent window.
Here is how you can code it so that it works and allows you to have
multiple window1 windows open with no trouble.
