Form will not stay on screen
|
|
|
| I just managed to get a program to run but when the code I wrote in the
init event finished the whole program closed. I didn't have a quit
command in the event. How do I get the form to stay open on the screen?
Suppose I had a button to click, I would want it to stay open. When I
want it to exit I'll issue the quit command. Is this not correct?

| You need to look at READ EVENTS and CLEAR EVENTS in the help file.

| Hi CJ,
You need Read Events. Read Events waits for the user to do something, for
example to click a button.
Do Form MyForm
Read Events
*-- More stuff here
Clear Events
