Problem on top-level form

[gutay008]

Hello,
i'am trying here to close my form which was set to top-level. I think the release will not work with the top-level form but quit does.
I only want to release the form not to quit the entire application.



thanks for the help

I believe something prevent the form to be closed.
Could be some object that is not released.
Could be another variable reference that point to the same form.

As Vilhelm indicates already, there have to be other reasons than the top level status. A top level form in general can be released without fulfilling any additional requirements other forms don't have (both in top level forms and in screen forms).

Public o1,o2
o1 = CreateObject("tlform")
o1.Show()
o1.Release()
Release o1
o2.Caption ="still alive"
Define Class tlform as form
   showwindow = 2
   
   Procedure init()
      o2= CreateObject("intlform")
      o2.show()
   Endproc
EndDefine 
Define Class intlform as form
   showwindow = 1
EndDefine

This shows the in top level forms o2 is still alive when its top level form is released and it shows the top level form o1 can be released without problem.

Bye, Olaf.
