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

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.

I would think that the close event should do an end_dialog.

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.
