Assuming this should read: hForm = New FFormName(1019) > hForm.ShowModal > > I get this error message - "Type mismatch: wanted control, got integer > instead" > Form inherits Window and Window has an optional constructor argument (like every widget): a parent control in which the widget should be created. As said in the object model document[0], you need to pass the arguments for all parent classes when you create an object -- and the arguments from the parent class are always in front of the ones of the child class. That is, the actual constructor of your FFormName has a signature like FFormName._new(Optional Parent As Control, Optional iNr As Integer) If you want your FFormName object to be an actual window, you can pass a Null as the Parent argument. > Wheras just:- > FFormName.ShowModal() > Works OK > This is totally different. You are using the automatic instance[1] of your FFormName class here which is an object that was already created.
