TOP Level Form Control

[PaulBarbeau]

I am look at working with a Top Level Form/Window and i want to use the Max, Min, Close and menu bar on it however when i popup and other forms inside it those controls do not work. The other forms are set as "1 — In Top-Level Form" so why can i not use these. Do i have to use form sets?

Thanks for any help you can give me

'Do i have to use form sets?' No - that would be an act of desperation, IMHO.

You can use menu and toolbars in a top-level form, menu being launched form the .Init() event and toolbars from the .Activate() event, both menu and toolbars being configured to run in a top-level form.

You could add a new method to the top-level form, and call the 'child' form of the top-level from the new method.

You need to create an object reference for the top-level form with

PUBLIC oForm1
DO FORM Form1 NAME oForm1

In the menu command put

oForm1.mNewMethod()

In the .Unload() event of the top-level form put

RELEASE oForm1
