DOCERR: SHOW(2) Does Not Set Modal Form or Formset to Modeless

ID: Q130406

3.00 WINDOWS kbprg kbdocerr

The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

The documentation for the Form.Show method contains an error. Passing a 2 as the parameter for the show method doesn't set a form or formset to a modeless state.

MORE INFORMATION

Currently, there is no way to change a form or formset from a modal state to a modeless state. You must set the Form.WindowType property to 0 - Modeless at design time to create a modeless form. This property is read-only at runtime.

If a 1 is passed as a parameter to the Form.Show method, a modeless form can be set to a modal state. Once the form or formset has been changed, however, it cannot be reset back to a modeless state.
