programmaticly retrieve properties with settings from form possible?

[Nifrabar]

Hi!

I need to create a copy of a form for I think that form is corrupt (stays on top always, even while previewing a report).
Can I retrieve programmaticly all properties with its values? Same for methods for that might safe much time....

Check out ReadExpression and ReadMethod.

Check out the AlwaysonTop property.

A form is nothing but a renamed DBF if you want to copy a method and/or properties

use fromname.scx
copy to somedbf
use somedbf
browse

Methods are in column Methods
properties are in the column Properties.

I doubt if the form is corrupt. Tamar & Olaf suggestions should fix the problem.

Hi!
My solution has been to take a former backup and update according 'corrupt'form.
No 'alwaysontop' was valid here.
Making a new form by copying all methods did not solve the problem.
Although I can't see what caused the problem I can live with this solution for now.
Anyway; everybody thanks for giving me some .
