Hello

can someone point me to some good reading on the inform editor. I would like to read on how to call another form from a button and such.

Right now there is no way to use more than one form.

You know back in the 90's we didn't have forms, we just cleared the screen and started doing some other function for data basing: data entry, queries, reviewing records through different sorts. Very simple.

You know back in the 70's we didn't have personal computers. We just cleared the desktop and set up the typewriter.

Hi, there.

As Spriggsy said above, you can only have one form per program at the moment.

Regarding InForm’s documentation, here’s the project’s wiki: https://github.com/FellippeHeitor/InForm/wiki

Hi badger,

all you have ask for in your first post is possible with GuiTools, but as every pro has a con, GuiTools is for Windows only and does not have a designer tool, ie. you would need to make yourself a quick sketch of your forms and then write the setup code for you forms/objects yourself. It also uses a complete different argument method for objects called "Tag Strings", but once you are familiar with that you will see its much more flexible/expansible than static TYPE definitions for objects and maybe even for your own data organization.

Get GuiTools from the link in my signature below, extract/install it and try/run the MultiWinDemo, I guess that is what you looking for.

BTW - If you work with Linux/Mac, the you may try it with a Wine installation:

When the time is right for that, just ask if I can assist you in any way.
