Note: There *must* be at least one object on the form to open it readModal. //There are two ways to open the form (say it's called Tester.wfm) * 1) Set procedure to Tester.wfm //Use the file name *with the extension* local f f = new TestReadmodalForm() //Use the form's *class* name here f.mdi = false f.width = 70 f.height = 10 f.autoCenter = true f.readModal() * * 2) //This is all that is needed to run an existing form. No need to load it into memory. * //do Tester.wfm with true */ // NOTE: Nothing will happen with any code after the call to 'readModal()' *until* the form is closed.
