<QUOTE>
I am trying to have a form start off a button from a mdichild form that has only one editbox on it and load and

unload data from the child and back.  (Confusing?? sorry) 



Form 1 has a hidden edit line bound to FIELDX



a button is clicked that 

Parent=Get_Property(@WINDOW,"MDIFRAME")

If Len( Parent ) else

   Parent=@WINDOW (MAIN)

end



SendVal=.FIELDX-]TEXT



x=Dialog_Box('ADDITIONAL',Parent,SendVal)



RETURN 0



This creates form "ADDITIONAL" and in the CREATE EVENT



.FIELDX_SUB-]TEXTVAL=CreateParam



RETURN 0  (TEXT if changed...



so in the CLOSE EVENT for the ADDITIONAL form



CntlEntId=.FIELDX_SUB-]TEXTVAL



RETURN 1 ( ?? )



Also, the data going into FIELDX_SUB is not wrapping.

What am I doing wrong??  Sorry if this is confusing.



Thanks

<QUOTE>BMC,



There is a white paper on creating 'Zoom' functionality in OpenInsight.  I think that this white paper describes a process to do what you are trying to accomplish.  The acrobat file (zoom.pdf)is available on the OI Works CD and also on the Revelation web site in the WORKS area.

That will put the contents into the X from the dialog_box call and you'd set the other control there.



As for the wrapping, you'll need to get rid of the scroll bar for that direction.
