Modal Forms - (again!) 1

[Goofus828]

Hi all,
according to thread184-863297 a top-level from cannot be modal so how does a secondary form become modal?

Here is my question. I have a main form, size is 250x440.
A button calls a second form which is 330x600, obviously it is a "(2) as top-level form" because it cannot be "(1)in Top-Level form", it won't fit.

The second form displays ok but the code in the main form continues after the call of the second.

** main form - now call second form
DO FORM forms\frmedit

I don't want the code after the DO FORM statement to execute. I want the second form to be modal.
I'm using VFP9.0.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try making the second form In top-level window and Desktop=.T.

That said, why would you call a larger form from a smaller form? Why isn't the main window for your app (I assume that's what the smaller form is) big enough to hold all the others?

Goofus,

I don't want the code after the DO FORM statement to execute. I want the second form to be modal.

Put READ EVENTS after the DO FORM. Put CLEAR EVENTS in the second form's Destroy.

Tamar, that suggestion worked, thank you. Shame on me for not really looking at the desktop property. And to answer you question on

Why isn't the main window for your app (I assume that's what the smaller form is) big enough to hold all the others?

The main form is like a main menu, small in size but the forms from those options are larger. That was the design spec I was given.

Mike, that did not work.

Thanks again.
