First up, one generally does not write a GUI application to do one single thing so creating a public variable in some module should not be a major issue. Second, someone else will have to tell you if there is a method other than what I describe; I looked for days and found nothing. I tried for many hours and failed to get it to work. When the Close() method is called by the modal window, the window instantly commits Harakiri and invalidates itself, so even if you instantiate a form inside a form variable, the window is instantly dereferenced the moment Close() executes. Gambas should not do that, IMO. The form should stay accessible to programmer via the variable until the programmer destroys it, or until the method that created the form variable terminates. I know it isn't kosher OO behavior, but what do you want from Gambas? Is having kosher OO more important than being able to choose not to have to learn C++, Pascal, or Java? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
