OK - my bad. This reply below - I wrote it from home. Now I'm at work - and I looked at the forms - and the main one - I blew it - it was set to Show InScreen. So - I just now changed it - but, it didn't help. The 2nd Form still moves beyond the bounds of the 1st Form. So - even though the 2nd Form is set to In-Top-Level, and 1st Form is set to AS-Top-Level, it still doesn't work.
Also, the 2nd problem - that the WParent() function is still returning Empty when run from within the 2nd Form. Which, I suspect is also related to the 1st problem above. -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kurt @ VR-FX Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 10:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: The Trouble w/Windows... Guys - it already IS set to that way. As it makes sense already - but, it still doesn't work. -K- On 2/19/2013 5:48 PM, Fred Taylor wrote: > Tracy's right, you have to have your first form .ShowWindow set as 2- As > Top-Level Form, and your second form .ShowWindow set as 1- In Top-Level > Form. > > Fred > > > On Tue, Feb 19, 2013 at 3:11 PM, Kurt <[email protected]> wrote: > >> .and I don't mean MS Windows. >> >> >> >> I've got a Main screen/Form.
