Multiple Forms 1

[Charliec2uk]

I am having some difficulty with writing a multiple form application. Basically, what I would like to achieve is to be able to click a button on my base form, another form to become visable, which I could then edit some timing characteristics. Then click okay or whatever, which would let me pass my inputs to the main programme, and then close the spawned form. Any help would be most welcome.

Make the forms as you please.

When you click the buttor "show form 2" do:
Form2->Show();
or if Form2 is to be closed before you can continue on Form1 (mainform) use:
Form2->ShowModal();

To "close" Form2 let it's "ModalResult" (Form2->ModalResult) equal true....or was it false? Check in help.

I.e. Form2->ModalResult = true; // Shuts down form and transfer control to Form1

Check help om 'ShowModal'.

Keep making it perfect and it will end up broken.

Don't forget to add header files if you want forms to communicate (ie. be able to Show() and Close() each other).
If Form1 is defined in Unit1.h and Form2 in Unit2.h just include Unit2.h in Unit1.cpp, and Unit1.h in Unit2.cpp.

you can also read the various properties of the
popup form after it is closed.

from the popup

void __fastcall TPopUpForm::CancelButtonClick(TObject *Sender)
{

OkButton->Tag = 0;
CancelButton->Tag = 1;
Close ();
}


form the calling form

if (PopUpForm->CancelButton->Tag == 1)
do this
else if (PopUpForm->OkButton->Tag == 1)
do this
