    One way (I have used myself) is to create a second executable (.exe) that contains this funtionality and pass the information via INI (.ini), Text (.txt), or the Registry. Then the parent application can check one of these files types for information after the helper (application with the form) has been exited.

    Let me add as a tip... that you may want to run the second application (with the icon set to "hidden") to run as soon as the parent application loads. Then when the time comes to show it... it will not take as long to load (just Restore it).

    Thanks for your response
    but I hope to use the same of program.
    Certainly, this is the problem that shows concern about speed.
    So, I still hope to have the function that the method can improve Dialog.
    Seem the xDialog give me another viewpoint.
    Again thankful

    I know this funtionality has been requested before by a few of us now. To "child" windows to the "parent".

    Here is a very simple example .exe to show you the speed (and this was without having the the "helper" app. load with the "parent" app.:

    You also could use a new page for that.
    Make a new page named "Create Wizard", pageAttributeName is for example page2.
    Then when people click in your app on the item Help, they jump to page2.
    You also can set window size, so it look more professional.

    Sincerely,

    That works great as long as one does not want the professional look of a popup window to take the form data.

    I dont know if AMS supports advanced dialogs, but you can use:
    1) xDialog
    2) Page.Jump
    3) import an .dll-file (programmed in another language)
    4) or whatever

    God bless Wine!
    yes, I think so, it's nice, red as white

    Kind Regards,
    Casper

    I have not used Fedora Core since version 4. That sounds very interesting to say the least.

    Well it's not much about Fedora as much it's about Wine... but whatever.

    Back to topic... yes, custom designed child forms support was suggested
    several times across this board and we all hope to see them in the APMS 7.

    There are "owned" and there are "child" windows. Child windows are modal to the parent window. A well known example of an "owned" window would be a popup that can be anywhere on the screen. My point being that it would be nice to have child and owned versions we can access.
