I tried this with the following code in the main form menu event
handler, but the form is still not loaded as an MDI child.
def openRecipes(evt):
mainForm = evt.Application.MainForm
print "mainForm.MDI",mainForm.MDI # This Prints True
mainForm.Caption = "New Title'" # Changes caption on main
form showing mainForm if a good Reference
frm = dabo.ui.createForm("recipes.cdxml",mainForm)
if frm:
frm.show()
When I open a Command window from the same menu, it opens as an MDI child.
Any advice would be much appreciated
