Re: Screen not updating

@BruceSteers Thanks for that I'll try it when I get to the computer Also would it be better to keep the timer or would wait 3 wait 3 seconds and then start the process? Defo timer. If you want to use methods automatically at program start then a timer is best as the Form_Open needs to complete to s...

Re: Screen not updating

Try using Wait to let the event loop run You may find it better to use "Wait 1" where you use "Sleep 1" or whatever the value.. Sleep completely halts your program but Wait will allow the event loop to catch up while it pauses. I have fixed many an object refresh problem by addin...

And i do not get any of the errors you get with showmodal, the application you posted works as expected for me so i cannot help. Perhaps a glitch in your program? Maybe try pressing t...

Re: Pass a class to a variable

I assume you have studied the wiki
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/class
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb/classes

Things like

Class.Name
Object.Parent

Surely if your form manually loads a specific class it can make a note of the class name and store it somewhere that the other form can see?

Re: Sometimes Form Modal or Non-Modal

At the moment the closest thing to what I'm looking for is setting Form1 utilities=True But the problem is that it can't be resized. A modal window can be expanded larger than the initial size set in the IDE but not shrunk smaller. The answer... Make the Form size in the IDE form designer the Minim...

Re: Sometimes Form Modal or Non-Modal

I have uploaded as a PDF where: 1. Run FMain 2. Run Form1 3. I run Form2, but doing so hides Form1, this is not what I want. Y 3. Again, because the representation is how I want it to happen. Yes I think we all understand what you are saying/asking, you have explained many times. We need to see why...

Then in column[1] i set each rows text and use the unselected checkbox picture for column[0]. the IsSelected() ...

Re: Sometimes Form Modal or Non-Modal

As I have commented in another query. I would like to load a form to modeless so that I can use it with another and use screen splitting to have one form on the right and one on the left. But at the same time when I load a Message it hides the form that I have loaded as Show, therefore I would like...
