Form Sequence

[sohrab100]

I have a problem concerning the focus of form.
I want to know if all forms are modal, the form sequence should follow one by one? Will it be suddenly active the form at the bottom? Since I have experience that when i have a bottom modeless form 0 and calling modal form1 ->
form2 -> form3, suddenly form 0 gotfocus and make form3 abnormal.

Will it be happen again when all form is modal?

Hi Shorab,

In a modal form sequence, the sequence should follow as a logic.

BUt when it is Modal and Non-Modal, it is not always the same. Let me exaplin it with some code as to how, you can make a form run modal and then non-modal way.

Here is the code..
*******************************************
PUBLIC oForm
oForm = CREATEOBJECT("SwitchForm&quot
oForm.SHOW()

DEFINE CLASS SwitchForm AS FORM

ADD OBJECT cmdModal AS COMMANDBUTTON WITH ;
CAPTION = "Modal", ;
HEIGHT = 27, ;
LEFT = 30, ;
TOP = 50

ADD OBJECT cmdModeless AS COMMANDBUTTON WITH ;
CAPTION = "Modeless", ;
HEIGHT = 27, ;
LEFT = 30, ;
TOP = 100

PROCEDURE cmdModal.CLICK
THISFORM.HIDE()
THISFORM.SHOW(1)
THISFORM.SHOW(2)

PROCEDURE cmdModeless.CLICK
THISFORM.HIDE()
ENDDEFINE
****************************************
So you can switch between the modalities !
The above may not perfectly work, but illustrates how the modality gets changed.
