Hi, me again!
How do I do to avoid a circular unit reference? What If after form2 shows up, I want a button to make it disappear and show form1 again? I tryed adding Unit1 to the uses clause of Unit2, but it doesnt compile showin an error about circular unit reference.

If you look at unit1 in the editor, you will see that it starts like: unit Unit1; {$mode objfpc}{$H+} interface uses Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls; Now, add unit2 to the uses list so that it is: uses Classes, SysUtils, LResources, Forms, Controls, Graphics, Dialogs, StdCtrls, unit2; This is assuming you haven't changed the names yet. :-) Basically, the uses clause tells the compiler which units, or source files, you are using in the one you are busy with, so for every unit you use, you need to specify it in the uses clause.

It does not compile, or it does not work the way you expected? If compiling is a problem, it could be that you forgot to add the unit of form2 in the uses clause for the unit of form1.

I could install Lazarus, tryed a few examples, and now I'm trying to call a form from another form. So I designed a form (Form1) with a button and a second form, but it starts on a diferent unit or something. I want to make the button on form1 call form2, but it seems this button does not know form2 exist. The statement I used was something like procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); begin Form1.Hide; Form2.Show; end; This does not work J Can someone tell me where to start reading??
